Bucks animators collaborate with the Learning Development Unit to create a unique film project

A group of our awesome animation students have collaborated with the Learning Development Unit here at Bucks to create a unique film project - How To Write a Literary Review. The project is aimed at students who are struggling with the challenging process of carrying out a literary review before writing an essay or dissertation, and aims to simplify and de-mystify the process. We asked the students who worked on the project to explain what they did, and how they pulled it off.

Rebecca Rochon, Senior Lecturer in Education and Learning Development, has developed a new App called Unite, which allows students to connect with other students before starting university. The App has been entered in the JISC Summer of Student Innovation, and she needs your help to win £5,000 for Bucks! The App will need animators to work on it, so with any luck we can bring a little freelance work into our department.

Counselling Services at Bucks - Help When it's Needed Most

Over the course of your three years at University there will inevitably be things that will go wrong. Personal problems, health crises, a crisis in the family - all sorts of things can derail the best laid plans and throw you off course. When bad things happen, you are not alone. The university provides counseling services free of charge and you will never be turned away if you need help, or just want someone to talk to.

All About the LDU - Learning Development Unit

Widening Participation (WP) is an important priority for all Universities, and Bucks is no exception. What does WP mean? It means extending access to higher education to all students, regardless of race, class, gender, sexual orientation or disability. Some of our students may need a little extra help outside of their regular classes, and that is where the LDU, or Learning Development Unit, comes in.
