The course content is fairly adequate and meets my expectations for my role. There is also on site facilities to support learning but communication falls below par sometimes.
One year post grad course and not in Uni every day. Classrooms are ok but the general look of the campus is rough due to construction work and access to local parking is very limited. Emails give the indication that the student Union and student life is organised but this is of no interest to me as commute when needed.

work placements and internships are not applicable to my course.
Some of the best experiences of Bucks is the canteen, with its excellent food and drink options (including a costa for coffees etc) and the overall atmosphere of the buildings, which always feel warm and welcoming. Bucks does not have any notable bad aspects as far as I’ve seen, it’s been good and supportive throughout my course.

The best aspects of my course is that the work is relatively easy to understand and the modules all seem to connect to each other in a good flow that feel comfortable and easy. The worst aspects is that majority of the criminology course is sociology, which I didn’t really expect when I signed up for the course, and that the aspects of criminology we do focus on can be repetitive and boring.
