Buckinghamshire New University Placements

Buckinghamshire New University (BNU) stands out when Overseas Education Consultants in India look for universities that actually deliver placements for international students, not just empty promises. The university has a dedicated Careers and Employability team that works year-round with names like IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, NHS trusts, Warner Bros, Pinewood Studios, and Heathrow for their aviation and hospitality courses.

Many programmes (especially Computing, Business, Aviation, Nursing, Animation, VFX) have built-in sandwich years or shorter placement modules where students get paid £18,000-£25,000 during the placement year. International students are actively placed - Overseas Education Consultants in India see 2023-2025 cohorts getting roles at Deloitte, PwC, GSK, British Airways, and local NHS hospitals without any “UK experience required” barrier.

The location helps a lot: High Wycombe and Uxbridge are only 30-40 minutes from central London by train, so students commute to London placements while paying much lower rent (£500-£650 per month versus £1,200+ in London). BNU also runs weekly job fairs on campus and has partnerships with hundreds of local employers who specifically recruit from the university because the courses are very practical and industry-aligned.

Nursing and health students almost always secure Band 5 NHS jobs straight after graduation, and aviation/pilot training students walk into roles with easyJet, Ryanair or British Airways because the university has its own flight simulators and direct airline links. Even creative students from animation and music management regularly land paid internships at Pinewood and Abbey Road studios.

For Indian students, the placement success rate is genuinely high (above 90 % for those who opt in) and the two-year Graduate Route visa gives enough time to convert placement experience into full-time sponsorship. That’s why Overseas Education Consultants in India keep BNU as a top recommendation when parents ask for “real job outcomes” rather than just a degree certificate.
