The course is good but there are some modules which I do not enjoy as much as others such as for example academic skills which includes presenting in front of the class which I am not looking forward to at all. As well as this these sessions are four hours long which makes it extremely difficult for me to concentrate for the whole time.

There needs to be more clubs. Better support for students during assignments
Always well supported by staff

The facilities at the university is fair. The university lacks good lecturers in the nursing programme. They are extremely disorganised and not helpful.
University is good they take so much care of you and did help me in this difficult time, they deserve a lot of credit how they help their students
Amazing Law staff. Slightly disorganised elsewhere
Bucks have been very supportive during the COVID19 situation. It's a lovely university with great facilities available
Lovely friendly university. Lots of support offered to students especially during covid times. Lots of people to talk to
Campus provides all essential facilities specific to your course. Student union provides exceptional support with mental health and other services. Library is fantastic as it is conveniently 24 hours. Fully satisfied!
A great place very helpful staff, students are all great and the place is very clean. There is great support even for 18+ highly recommended.
An amazing student union and perfect location. Accommodation is super close, as is the town.
Worst 3 years of my life. High Wycombe is an horrible place. Students at the university are not friendly at all, always ready to judge you and constantly in competition with each other. Forget to study in the library as it is full of people eating and partying in it and the security doesn't care. Quality of the teaching very poor, most of the grades were always given late.
University is great, compared to the brook street accommodation. Everything is within 5/10 minutes. The student union is actually pretty good as well (Wednesday’s are the best nights)
Absolutely scored 0 with me, starting the course next week. No acceptance letter sent out. No registration form sent when student finance are due to make payment in 4 days time. Very disorganised. Do not apply with them. SFE payment will be delayed because of poor admin skills.
Couldn't have had a worse experience with this place. AVIOD. Do not waste any of your money and don't apply to attend Bucks. Tutors do not care about students in any way and the University staff are extremely lazy and unprofessional.
The best student union. You will meet many nationalities during this 3/4 years.
I did art foundation at bucks and it was the right decision for me however I wouldn't want to stay on any longer than this year. I didn't get involved with any clubs and societies or the union so this is why they are low in starts, even though apparently out student union is one of the best in the country. The facilities are actually really good for art, I just don't particularly feel at home, maybe because this is only a one year course so there isn't much community? The Tutors are very unorganised and trips all seem to be planned really badly. However there are a lot of trips, and if you have a group of friends they are really fun. I would still recommend this uni if you live close by and are just looking for a foundation.
By far the worst Nursing university you could ever go to, no efficient teaching the lectures are all old and past there sell by date. No support with coursework and they will put it under the rug if you make so much as one complaint. its so bad teachers themselves have left as well as student failing or leaving in there accordance.
Avoid if you want to study nursing
I studied BSc Social Work at bucks uni, it was the worst experience of my life, the only thing that got me through was my friends and family. No support from any tutor or lecturers, no real structure and the course was delivered in shambles
Attending an aviation course at Buckinghamshire New University (BNU) has ended my career. I am one of around 100 students (past and present) who have suffered at the hands of BNU because of their corrupt relationships with partner organisations. I have uncovered extremely disturbing and burdening truths about this serious matter and therefore I have huge doubts about the legality of current links with BNU's partner organisations!! BNU are reluctant to acknowledge (and apologise for) the very serious mistakes they have made, even though most senior staff at BNU are very aware of such despicable events. I wish to make you aware of such a harrowing experience and I would not wish it upon anybody. I do not want you to suffer as I and many others have. If you want to succeed at your intended career, do not attend BNU! University league tables exist for a reason so please attend one that is much further up the table. I cannot stress that enough! Put simply - avoid at all costs!
OMGAWDDD BEST UNI EVAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worst year of my life!! *Teachers had their fav students *Building not up for the course *Teachers didn't explain or keep us updated on where each class would be ( when they changed rooms) *Dorms are not worth the money and they are run down * people wasn't that friendly around the uni
Do yourself a service! Have respect for your time and money and steer clear off this place. Stiff mentality and backward thinking lecturers. Very few wonderful lecturers, passionate about their work. Terible place!
Confirmed my place with bucks university in july 2016 to start my course in feb 2017only to find out the previous day that my start date has been changed to september 2017.All necessary arrangements has been made for my start date and this happened...No mail from the uni or ucas to let me know that my start date has been changed.....it is not a good reputation for the university...
Not the biggest university but has everything I need with a decent size library
I am a fresher at Bucks new university. In my opinoon this uni has excellent teaching. However, the faclities and secutiry are poor. I have experienced students allowing other members of the public (friends/family) to go into the university, simply by handing over their access card when they are not in. Futhermore, there are not many quiet zone areas and, the noise can get very loud.
Great uni if you pick the right course, small but lovely campus, town centre is right next to the uni. It's quite nice to be there :)
student union is amazing for the events they hold for us
Great SU, the Uni needs to catch up!
Dodgy wifi but super social atmosphere
It's okay. Nice SU activities,
It is the great uni with many opportunities and I don't understand why is it so low in ranks. We have lot of chances to enjoy our time to the max here and get good job after graduation.
the lack of a real "campus vibe" lets this place down It is built on a small plot in the centre of the town, re-energising what was previously a public college into a more profitable educational establishment without much work to bring it into the new age. There is a new build which is impressive in a somewhat oddly design. Offering the best facilities, and some interesting courses. The town is not a student town, a lack of
Bucks is a good uni for certain courses. Its not in a good location but tries its best to change that. Course is very focused getting you ready for the industry. Though sometimes lecturers are not the best.
Best university for law students
SU is amazing, very helpful and easy to communicate. There are more than enough facilities for students to take advantage of so always ask if unsure or in any doubt. I love my course and I truly recommend this university to students who are dedicated and who are outgoing as uni has sooo much to offer.
Been great so far roll on next year!
Great uni, gives you the opportunity to find the career you want in the future with the right contacts
Great uni offers so much for students and gives you a great insight for what you want to do in the future with the right contacts
It doesn't really feel like a university it feels more like a college, however I did have fun attending but didn't feel challenged overall.
Student Union provides an excellent service for advice, sports and entertainment.
Brilliant university, staff and students are all friendly, great place to study !
Bucks is an amazing university for its small size. It provides many excellent opportunities for students and the courses are run on a good standard with problems being dealt with efficiently
Lecturers were really helpful but could do with more career opportunities and networking events
Amazing people and experiences, just a small town with little nightlife
Interesting range in courses, offer something different than most universities, modules are fun and lecturers are friendly and helpful - campus is small and friendly
Half the campus modern, other half (design half, my course area) very old and dated at the minute. Computers need updating/software updates. Paying a lot of money for materials etc. that were not mentioned when joining the university which would have been nice. Societies need to be advertised more, as well as the SU.
Good University as far as academic views are concerned, great at offering extra qualifications to help progress further in your specific field. Student Union is second to none with a vast array of events happening across the year. Internet within the university cannot be faulted. As far as I am concerned Bucks New Uni should not be where it is on the list.
Going into my 2nd year So far... academically not the best uni. But some great societies, facilities and opportunities. FOR FREE
The student union is brilliant! Teaching staff and friendly and helpful. Wide variety of courses. The High Wycombe campus is easy to get to and in the centre of town.
Good course, good lecturers, good opportunities. Has more of a college feel to it, I'm happy with the choice I made.
By far the best uni I could've chosen to go to- facilities and opportunities are a million times better than any other bigger uni.
Bucks is a small uni with large opportunities for students
Great place to learn and develop. Friendly staff that want to help and push you to achieve.
I love my university so glad I chose this one
Definitely not good value for money. SU is good but they're trying too hard
The campus has a lot of fairly new, decent equipment. The SU is great. Career opportunities, like anywhere, only happen if you make an effort to do more than just turn up and do the work. The Internet is quick enough but can sometimes be a pain to connect to. The uni is a very new one (only about 8 years old) which is why it has quite a low ranking. Don't let that put you off! It's rank is improving every year, as is the uni itself.
Bucks is the only uni to provide the Big Deal, which gives students so many great free things including trips to alton towers, all club nights at su are free, a course package worth £1000 a year per student, free spirts and societies and so much more
Absolutely amazing I love it at bucks.
bucks is an amazing student experience that offers incredible opportunities for a small university.
Great uni helped me find the career path I wanted!
Nursing is at the Uxbridge campus which has absolutely nothing! The SU is in High Wycombe (a good 25 min drive away) My personal job opportunities are good due to my course being NHS funded but i don't know what generic courses are like! Wifi is rubbish at the Uxbridge campus! Just a generally crap university although I'm lucky to have good friends!
