As an international student, I struggled to find a teaching course that would allow me to study online while working a full time job. The University of Buckingham has afforded me the opportunity to study a high quality and in depth course while working full time. Their kindness and support during this process has been outstanding and has made all the difference for me. I cannot recommend them enough.

The online learning platform is a fun and innovative learning app which allows students to turn their learning into a game almost! It is so much fun to visibly see your progress through the modules. The AI interactive questions are really helpful too and a very creative way to integrate modern technology into our learning.

The support for SEND students is not very effective as there is limited SPLD staff and therefore the availability for support is very low. This is not unusual for university in general unfortunately, but it is a shame because the SPLD is a lovely, kind and supportive person, it is just sad that there is not more support available when needed.

The course content is rich, and very interesting lecturers, reading and studying. I have learnt a lot on this course, and I am appreciative of what we have been given.

I will also say the organisation of the course and the expectations of the main school and SSP is very limited and unclear, there is a lot of vague statements in the handbook, so this may require some revision.
