Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College (or BCUC) is a university college in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. The Director and Chief Executive is Doctor Ruth Farwell. It has been a university college since 1999. The institution had ambitious plans to consolidate the divided campuses into a purpose built site near to Hughenden Park in High Wycombe and while these plans fell through, there are now plans to renovate and enlarge the main campus which will provide more up to date facilities, and a better environment for the establishment.
The university college currently consists of the High Wycombe campus (previously High Wycombe College of Art and Technology), the Newland Park Campus (near Little Chalfont) and the Wellesbourne Campus (near Hazlemere) as well as off site student accommodation both in High Wycombe town centre (Brook Street Halls) and atop Marlow Hill (John North Halls). The Newland Park Campus also has on site student accommodation. The University College also owns Missenden Abbey. The Fine Art department operates within rented space above the Octagon Shopping Centre within High Wycombe town centre.
Several courses run at the university college are rarities in British universities. Courses like Airline and Airport Management, Music Industry Management and Video Production as well as the extensive Furniture Design and Restoration and Textiles Departments are the university college's main attractions.
Trevor Baylis is a frequent guest lecturer within the Technology department, and was present at the 2004 graduating ceremony and graduate degree show.
