About Bucks

Buckinghamshire New University offers a very attractive – yet highly convenient base for your studies.

This year has been a very exciting year for us and our community as we are currently part way through a major campus redevelopment and refurbishment programme which will have a brand new state of the art building right in the heart of High Wycombe town centre.

It has also seen the creation of a new site for nursing (pre-registration and some post qualifying and professional provision) in the vibrant town of Uxbridge.

Bucks New University is a great place to study and a great place to have fun and make friends. Above all, it is a superb environment to gain the qualification you need to succeed in the future.

Guiding Values

We are creating a genuinely caring, supportive and communicative open learning environment to promote health, education and well-being in the community.

We aim to enhance best practice through the innovative use of knowledge, skills and entrepreneurship, supported by a strong commitment to equality, trust, integrity, fairness, co-operation and social justice.

We are also committed to support the professions, employers, industry and other educational providers with which we are closely associated, and recognise the close links between research, teaching, learning and professional service.

We place great emphasis on the continued professional development of staff within the Faculty, and support them in maintaining and enhancing their professional practice knowledge and skills.

We endeavour to maximise flexibility and responsiveness in the delivery of our programmes and maintain the high quality of our teaching, scholarship, research and professional services.

No typical student

One of the great things about life here is the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds in an atmosphere where multicultural diversity is valued. Wherever you’re from, you will find us totally committed to ensuring that you have every opportunity to progress and flourish, whatever your sex, sexual orientation, race, age, disability, colour, religion or ethnic origin. We strive to foster a friendly, secure and caring environment at Buckinghamshire New University.
