Our student services team can help you through your application. We can give you advice on everything from filling in an application form through to interviews and preparing portfolios, including how to write your personal statement. We can also talk to the accommodation team for you, to help you find a place. 

We can provide you with accommodation for the full 365 days of the year. We’ll do everything we can to give you your first choice, depending on what’s available. If you’d like to know more, please call the Accommodation Team on 01494 603 063, or email accommodation@bnu.ac.uk. 

Please note, our accommodation support depends on you making Buckinghamshire New University your firm choice on your UCAS application. You’ll also need to meet all course entry requirement and have gained an unconditional offer. 

You can apply for accommodation from the spring onwards. You’ll automatically get an email, sent to the email address you registered with UCAS. When you apply, please let us know that you’re a care leaver in the notes section in the application form. 

If you are a Care Leaver or Estranged student on an undergraduate course, we will offer you £1,100 each year to support you during your studies. We understand that you face additional challenges and we will do our best to support you at every stage of your studies. 

In addition to the bursary we will offer you accommodation all year round, assistance with your university application and a mentor throughout your studies. 

More information on this can be found on our Undergraduate Financial Support Page. 

We offer one-to-one mentoring support if you’re a care leaver. You can ask for a mentor and we’ll assign a member of staff to be a mentor for the time you’re here. They’ll give you support, advice and advocacy and be your first point of contact for any questions you have. 

For more information please contact Emily.crawshaw@bnu.ac.uk. 

We offer lots of services and support to all our students at the University, including Counselling, Inclusion, Diversity and Disability, Students' Union Advice Centre, Student Opportunities and Career Success, Multi-faith Chaplaincy, Accommodation and Student Learning and Achievement.
