Bucks New University nestles in the beautiful countryside of the Chiltern Hills. Following a major campus redevelopment programme, all of its courses, with the exception of nursing, are now based at the main campus in High Wycombe. The university offers a varied range of vocationally targeted degrees and studying options not widely available, from commercial pilot training to music management, textiles and furniture, and spanning the creative and cultural industries, the management and information management sectors, and the public sector. Bucks New is currently the largest provider of adult nursing training across London. There is a large proportion of mature students, and many students come from the Buckinghamshire region. The town centre is within easy walking distance, and London is a short train ride away. Accommodation Student accommodation in High Wycombe is varied. You can choose to live in the university-managed halls of residence which include Hughenden, which currently accommodates over 410 students. The university also offers 72 rooms in Windsor House, a former office block that was converted in 2012, which is a few minutes' walk from the High Wycombe campus. It provides a mixture of six-bedroom clusters and nine individual studios. Nearby Brook Street provides a further 396 rooms and Alexandra House, in a converted hotel, is comprised of 39 studio-style, en-suite rooms with a large communal lounge.
