Small classes, cute campus, very attentive staff, constant effort to satisfy student expectations, exposure to a range of cultures. Made amazing friends. Great experience overall. Would highly recommend studying at UoB.
The University of Buckingham is a unique school which specializes in taking care of the needs of it's students, it's Lecturer and tutors are the best at helping student, who want to be help, understand the course. It's devoted to giving the students the best value, educationally and socially for the price. An added benefit is that most of it's courses are just 2 years!
Excellent uni. Great small class sizes & excellent teaching abilities. I loved studying but my degree here. I loved that it was only 2 years to complete my course as it meant I could get a job quicker at the end.
Fantastic place to be; i wouldn't want to be anywhere else! Buckingham's low student to staff ratio really facilitates a better standard of learning. I joined last year and I'm thrilled with the course I'm studying.
I was expecting it to be like any other small countryside university such as hull, York etc. but when I came here I was shocked to see that nearly every student did not speak fluent English. I personally believe that you can hardly find any local uk or eu citizen here. If you are an intellectual person I.e involved in debating and stuff then this surely is not the place for you. I would just categorise it as a tuition centre with nothing else but academics. The parties here are more likely Nigerian parties with DJ playing almost all the Nigerian songs. If you want to experience a true university then this I'd definitely not a place for you.
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.
There is so much social life and the otm usually only has black parties The time of year that students graduate makes it more difficult to find jobs as firms get confused as to why we graduate in Decemeber. So this is a definate downfall but apart from that it is quite a nice place to live and study.
Studying here at Buckingham University is great. The lectures are freindly and have a brilliant open door policy they are always willing to help. The twon is small but has enough to do for students with nice coffee bars and open spaces I would recommed anyone to come and study here.
despite being small the food places and the pubs in the twon centre are realy nice also the small size of the uni makes for a really friendly community and you se e your friends often Also the ammount of international students makes for interetsing conversation and cultural excahnges.,
it is very intense and a lot of hard work but I am looking forward to graduation and the sense of acheivment that accompanies it. I cannot wait to begin working and my uni being an intense course allows me to acsess the working environment as soon as possible so i do reccomend studying here.
so on the whole life here is pretty good albeit it is a quite and studious nature of the university but that s not to say if you want to have some fun and frolics that you cannot make it happen so get out there in fresher woman fresher man week and meet and make your clique quick.
If i had to review the university then I would say that there are pros and cons to syudying here if you are aged between 18 -25 then i would reccomend that you go to a big city uni and experience life in the fast lane and make the most of having fun and learning. If you want a quite time then come here.
I really have been made to feel at home here as a overseas student. The support services really are very good. I have made a lot of friends and the other students really are very friendly and welcoming here too. I am glad that I made the decision to come and study here you should too!
Good uni her it is a pretty quiet and peaceful place to study and reflect on life if you are looking for a full on party central place then this is not the uni for you bit if you want to study hard and not go out every night dancing and drinking then this is the place for you. As it is small it is also social.
Well i have had a really good time and meet so many nice people and my course is ok there are pros and cons to it. Some people I meet have had a great impact in my life The work load is really intense and I would advise students to go to a three year university instead as the work load is more managable.
I would like to reccomend the lectures and tutors who are really passionate and competent in their delivery the quality of teaching is more than adequate and I am staisfied with the various sylablles and content of my course, my grumble is that city life is on the whole dreadfull.
Buckingham is a small university full of amazing people. Studying here is fun and the teachers make it easy for you to understand if you ever need further explanation teachers are accessable and you can ask for help, to anyone looking to study here please come you will love it.
I am enjoying my time here lots and my university degree is important to me. I have loved connecting and making new friends it has been a wonderful time of connecting and learning and expanding my circle. it is a great privalage. I do thoroughly reccomend a two year course it gets stuff done quicker.
I have enjoyed my first year here and meet some nice people and i think the university is an excellent place to study however I am terribly disspaointed that there are not hot babes. I know it may seem a bit irrelevant to the nature of study but I did hope for some more lovely eye candy.


Fun, safe, learned a lot and got really involved in student life. Very adaptable to change and very invested in every student individually. They have a lot going on for such a small school and I can't wait to see them grow.
