About the Institution
Based in Buckingham on a riverside campus, the University is only 20 minutes’ from Milton Keynes central station and a short drive from Bicester, Aylesbury, Banbury and Northampton. There is free parking on-site and its location means it is within easy reach of London and Oxford.
Award-winning small class tutorials ensure every student is known by name and supported throughout their studies, including by dedicated personal tutors. As pioneers of the two-year degree, Buckingham offer a condensed version of the traditional three-year degree, meaning you can gain a full honours degree and complete your studies a whole year earlier. Alternatively, you can complete both your undergraduate and master’s degree in just three years: saving you time and money.
The University also launched the UK’s first private Medical School, which recently secured General Medical Council (GMC) accreditation. The GMC commended Buckingham for ‘excellent professional, academic and pastoral support that extends throughout the University and clinical learning environments’.
The University’s dedication to teaching quality and student life has resulted in it being rated highly by its students and in national surveys. This includes being ranked 1st for Student Satisfaction for four years running.
The University of Buckingham acceptance rate is 18% and key University of Buckingham rankings include being in the top 10 in England for Teaching Quality and Graduate Prospects (Times University Guide). A wide variety of University of Buckingham scholarships are available for eligible international students.

This is made possible due to Buckingham’s innovative term structure, but does not lead to an increased workload for its students on a day-to-day basis. Foundation pathways are available in Business, Law, Computing, Economics, Accounting and Finance and Journalism.
