But what is The BNU Alumni Network?
The BNU Alumni Network is a way for graduates to stay connected with the BNU community, as well as maintain access to a variety of events and opportunities.
You’re still part of the Bucks family – even after you graduate. From the moment you apply, you're a valued part of the Buckinghamshire New University community and that doesn’t change when you finish your course. We’re here to support your next steps through the BNU Alumni Network, giving you access to free opportunities, events, development, and more.
What's in the BNU Alumni Network?
As a graduate, you’ll receive:
- a quarterly e-newsletter with updates, events, and opportunities
- free access to the Big Deal programme
- networking events throughout the year
- entry into our industry-relevant mentor scheme
- access to Leadership Academy modules
- full participation in STRIVE, our employability festival
- Free entry to all events in The Venue
- Enhanced alumni perks from the University include:
- gym and library membership
- access to the Careers service
- discounts on postgraduate study
- continued use of the University facilities.
What can alumni still get involved in?
You can continue engaging with Students' Union activities, as long as it doesn't incur any extra financial cost. Here's how:
- Social events at The Venue – free entry with your old student ID card
- Advice Centre support – for any unresolved student-related issues
- Societies and Sport for Fun – subject to insurance/costs
- Volunteering and fundraising – opportunities available by arrangement
- Training and development – most sessions still free to attend.
Competitive sport is not available due to BUCS regulations.
