The new campus helps consolidate the University’s presence in Buckinghamshire and our commitment to delivering highly-commended quality courses. The new premises boast dedicated state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities, including a skills lab, and provide excellent student support resources.
What’s more, students undertaking work placements at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury and Wycombe General Hospital in High Wycombe don’t have to worry about daily commute as their accommodation is based a short walk from the hospitals.
