Business Economics (with integrated Foundation) - BSc (Hons)

So far the university is wonderful. I love that it feels like I am part of a community, I am seen and very supported. I love the smaller class sizes. It makes learning more personal and it gives individual students attention especially in each lecture or tutorial. The staff and students here are so friendly and helpful and I love that they are serious about their work and achieving their goals.

Overall, if i knew what this place was like before joining, i probably wouldnt have joined. Its way too cold, i grew up in 30 degree weather, nothing under 26. And the heating is soo frustrating as they program it to only turn on at a certain temperature, so you freeze all day and sweat all night. Its a painful system. Dogs arent allowed which is sad because their are so many dogs here and the housing isnt dorms, its housing. The classes are soooo absolutely boring, its extremely hard to pay attention and stay awake. I sometimes skip classes to study at home because i think thats more efficient and effective. The classes arent great in my opinion. The 2 year degree is what brings everyone here. Saving that 1 year of your life means a lot, especially to the youth. We only have 2 subjects to start with which makes it easy to keep up and also the classes are only 50% mandatory so that makes it easy to study n work and not stresss out. Their are the good sides to this university. Its not that strict. You have freedom. Just study, join a few classes. Graduate early, parties arent bad, pretty fun with friends. But dont expect fun or interesting classes and teachers.

overall it is what to be expected from a small uni where the course is two years, intense and not a lot to do in the town, however is still relatively enjoyable when you expect this fact and make the most of what there is, the locals when you actually engage with them are lovely and have a good chat

Small university, which is good, especially since you get more face to face time with professors. There is a lot of run improvement in infrastructure (for example, lecture room are old and outdated)

It’s been decent, is what to be expected in a small town, but as it’s a fast track course you need a quiet atmosphere to get on with your work and this provides the perfect environment for that

I think the University offers perfect conditions for international and British students to learn not only the content of their degree, but additionally how to communicate and interact with people from all over the world. I believe that every student here, feels privileged to attend this University.

I went to buckingham for small groups and not spent that much money on accommodation or free time activities. All of what buckingham is giving. The only disappointment is that buckingham hasn’t got that much of a night time excitement. And the town is quiet small.

I like a lot of other students here opted to do my degree in two years. It does make quite an intensive period of studying you just have to get your head down and get on with it, the words commitment and working hard come to mind no excuses now it is your future to make or break.

it is really not so bad so far most of the students grumble that there s not too much of a social scene but for me it is fine I really do enjoy the beautiful environment so does it really matter that there s not a lot of night time activities. I really would reccomend the university beacause it has a high sucsess rate.
