Bucks Buddies are a group of current students that provide discreet, peer-to-peer support via email to BNU applicants, and those that become students.
Our Buddies are from all kinds of backgrounds and have a non-judgemental, non-discriminatory attitude, and respect for confidentiality. They remember how it felt when making decisions about where to study and making the transition to university and can handle any questions or concerns you might have, and if they can't then they'll know where to refer you for further information or advice.
The Buddies will make contact during the application stage and will remain a support throughout the first term. They can clarify any information or answer a question that may be difficult to ask a member of staff - whether that be course related, student life, what to pack, accommodation, or what’s happening on campus.
If you have not received contact from a Buddy, and would like support throughout the new term, please email buddying@bnu.ac.uk.
If you are interested in becoming a Buddy, you can see further details and apply on our Union Jobs page or drop us an email.
