Buckinghamshire New University

There’s more to university than just your time in the classroom. It’s the time to form friendships that last a lifetime, grow your confidence and enhance your skills through new experiences.

BNU is the only UK university to offer free access to a huge range of activities to enrich your time with us. We call this The Big Deal! Run by the Students’ Union (SU), the Big Deal gives you free access to events and entertainment, sports, skill workshops, CV building activities and of course societies. Recently voted in the top 2 in the UK (NSS 2022), our SU is one of the most popular students’ unions and, whatever you’re into, you’ll find a club, society or team to be part of.

When you leave with your degree, we want you to stand out from the crowd. We will make sure you are ‘work ready’ by providing experiences that complement your degree and helping you gain transferable skills that employers are looking for. Look out for free certificated courses, training programmes and taster sessions.

We’ve invested in state-of-the-art facilities across our High Wycombe, Uxbridge and Aylesbury campuses. You can learn how to fly without wings in our flight simulator; push your limits at the Human Performance Laboratory; get creative in our art and design studios and workshops; create your ideas in our fully-kitted music studios; expand your skills in our nursing and healthcare simulation suites; or grab a peaceful moment in the library for some quiet study.

You can also benefit from guaranteed accommodation in our halls of residences in High Wycombe. We offer single rooms and shared amenities in Brook Street halls, or en suit rooms with 4 foot double beds and shared kitchen in our Hughenden Park Student Village.  Both options offer flexible contracts with no deposits. All bills are included, you’ll have access to free WIFI, 24 hour security and contents insurance. If you're studying at Uxbridge Campus, no problem! We offer a free shuttle bus from High Wycombe to take you.
