The University of Buckingham provides academic excellence in a supportive, student-focused environment which has seen them rank 1st for Student Support in the South East (Whatuni Student Choice Awards, 2025). Buckingham has also been recognised for its outstanding teaching, ranking 1st in the South East of England for Lecturer and Teaching Quality (Whatuni Student Choice Awards, 2025). Founded on the principles of academic freedom, the University fosters a diverse international community where students are encouraged to think critically, explore ideas, and engage directly with academics through small-group tutorials and seminars rather than large, crowded lectures.

Buckingham offers flexible study options, including September and January start dates, two-year undergraduate degrees, and 4.5-year Medicine programmes. Since introducing the UK’s first two-year degree in 1983, the University has continued to lead in accelerated learning, offering the widest range of two-year programmes in the country. This innovative structure enables students to complete the same number of teaching weeks as a traditional degree in less time, helping them graduate up to a year earlier and save around 20% on overall living and maintenance costs. Many students also choose to progress directly onto a master’s programme, completing both undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in just three years.

Small-group teaching remains at the heart of the Buckingham experience. Each student receives individual attention and support from a personal tutor, while academics, who are internationally recognised experts in their fields, bring the latest research and insights directly into their teaching.

Home to students from over 100 nationalities, Buckingham offers a close-knit, global community that values diversity and independent thought. The picturesque riverside campus provides a peaceful and inspiring setting beside a vibrant market town, with excellent transport links to London, Birmingham, and beyond. Guided by a vision to be a beacon of academic freedom and a mission to empower individuals through learning, research, and innovation, The University of Buckingham prepares its graduates to become the leaders and thinkers of the future.
