Bucks New Uni - Everything you need to know!

Thank you so much for all the information! Im due to start in September on a Business & Marketing course and cannot wait However, I now feel very reassured about which accommodation I want to stay in (BROOK STREET) and I cannot wait for the SU nights

If anyone is studying Business & Marketing or staying in Brook Street feel free to chat

you forgot to mention the bit about most of the lecturers being useless, the university being useless and the degree you get at the end not being worth the paper its printed on.



i am also a third year at bucks.

Hey I'm going to do accounting and finance and I think the business subjects share quite a few modules/seminars xx

You're more than welcome! Ahhh, glad to hear that it has helped you make your mind up!! Student life as a whole is awesome! At the end of the day, it is what you make it Enjoy x



Depends on your course. I personally enjoy most of my lecturers, so definitely varies per person. Really? I disagree.

Ah wicked are you looking forward to it? Where are you looking at staying? Xx

Hello Djlinus, We are sorry that you did not have a good experience with a number of lecturers on your course at Bucks. We would like to look into this case further.
Please can you contact [email protected]

Many thanks

i really dont see the point i had a meeting with the head of department at the start of my 3rd year about numerous issues that were of a big concern not only to me but other students, this was following a pretty large email detailing them after the uni replied to me being rather public about airing my concerns. after the meeting i was told a lot of them would be addressed and would be kept up to date about how things are progressing. following the meeting. I heard nothing and nothing was resolved so whats to say these are going to be sorted now or my experience will be any different. I graduate in a few weeks with a crap grade mainly due to the uni's incompetence what is going through all that again going to resolve now?

NOTHING!

Therefore they probably do not wish to read your moany and bitter posts about whatever you felt about your time here.. after all, as you stated.. you were there for 3 years.. therefore had a million opportunities to leave or switch courses/uni's ... must not of been so terrible if your were willing to endure it for that length of time

PS.. to the person who's posting loads of stick about bucks... most of the people on these post's are freshers, they have been accepted and will be attending this uni in the next month and are probably, if not or more excited then I am!

sorry laaaaaureenn but like dingo said it wasnt that simple im a mature student with 12 years IT industry experience before coming onto the course so you could say im a lot more mature and established than your average fresher who has never lived away from hime and the whole concept of university is exciting and full of late nights drinking and early morning starts. from my perspective i had come to the course to learn rather than loaf.

as i said the uni is a pretty big joke, hardly any of the course delivered what it said on the tin at the open day and in the nice pretty brochures. as for the proceedure for complaints there isnt one that will get you anywhere, at the start of my 2nd year i was working 1 day a week in the industry which then turned full time over the summer and then for 3rd year i just remained full time and did 1 day a week at uni. i chose to do this simply as regardless of what grade i got i was still going to have this position when i finished uni and how the course had gone so far i was of the mindset that i may as well just finish it rather than drop it for my 3rd year.

when i chose to do this i was told i would get the full support of the uni as i was work ing in the industry but what really happened was i got no support whatsoever. one other thing that happened was i got a meeting with teresa moore at the start of my 3rd years because of comments i had made on public facing intertnet sites with the intention of these problems being sorted out. again what really happened was i was put in the room for an hour promised the world but eventually delivered nothing. the whole point of the meeting really was to be told not to expose the uni for the joke it is and keep my mouth shut. it wasnt just me that was having problems the whole group had issues with the course and its shortfalls but again nothing happened of it.

dont get me wrong bucks has a few truely inspirational lecturers but it also has a lot more truely crap lecturers whos idea of marking work leaves little to be desired. one such incident was some group work we had in the 2nd year where we were told close to handing that we had to have no more than a group of 4 where we had a 5, this left us no choice but to split the groups for handin but everybody just did twice the work so 2 versions of the same wok were handed in. when it came to the marks one group got a 1st the other a low 2:2 when in reality the 2 pieces were slightly reworded versions of each other.

there were many other examples of this throughout the 3 years and quite frankly the course has been of no benefit to me in attempting to change careers which i have done completely off my own back and not with help from the uni. as for the comments about why did i not simply change to another course it wasnt that simple, im a mature student , this was my one and only chance of getting a degree and it was done off my own back without the support of mummy and daddy which im sure a lot of the people on here are getting. because of this maybe my expectations are a little higher than others or maybe its because i didnt look at uni of 3 years of my life where all i want to do is get pissed every night.

anyway im done trying to explain myself to a stroppy teenager.
