Please think carefully before committing to a two year degree course as it is a truely intense experince it is far better in my opinion to go to a three year uni and take time to do it properly it is not how fast you fininish but rather how well you finish. Consider carefully.
I really an glad that I made the decision to come here and study I was not quite sure how I would get along but due to it is small size then you can make the effort and fit in really quickly. I feel fulfilled and I would highly reccomend this institution to anyome who wishes to study in the UK.
so it is small but very unique here a freindly place to study and learn and expand your horizons. The two year degree is a really good priniple if you wish to work hard and knuckle down as you can get great results in a limited time. Work hard and maybe do not play hard. If you want to party then do not come here.
I am not enjoying the uni stay at all they are not giving enough support to students whop nearly fails as they cannot write an essay - essay writing does not measure your capabilityin particular the practical view. The goal should be that every student aquires a deep knowledge and understand their course.
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 a lovely place to come and study if you can cope with the smallness and the lack of social activities going on in Buckingham town centre. it is not really geared up for students so you wont find any big clubs or bars with student nights. My course is good though and that is why I am here.
Well what can I say this university is only good for those who are serious about theeir studying and want to commit to a life of accademia and not too have a good time out socialising because basically there is noting here to do excpet study and have a coffee and a lunch in the cafe, and a wander into town.
I am enjoying my experience s far. My advice if you want to finsish your degree faster and you do not mind the extra sweat then this is the uni for you but if you are not ready for a packed tmetable then look elsewhere I am sure that you will find a uni which is just for you. NB the foundation is great too.
it is very quick for enjoying a university life especially if future students would like to focus on studies it is very quiet here but it is a freindly place all the same. I have really enjoyed the scenery there s a river and ducks so it is not lively like a city but hence there are other benefit is.
I have enjoyed my two years here thorougly there are a lot of grumbles about night life but to be honest i quite enjoy the quiet studious pace of life here and Buckingham is a lovely town with evertything that you need the su also puts on some good social events too so it is all good.
The experience is great so far mostly because of my close circle of freinds my most important advice is to read a lot and here very limited social life do make friends who would add value to your life and make everything worthwhile. Do have study partners and read something every day.
My university went was beyond my expectations in events it is a small university without a party venue however I am proud to say thst we can turn our refectory into a awesome nightclub. it is a truely beautiful venue with differnt cultures and experience that is the vibe rather than partying.
it is a really lovely and amazing place to study with quality lectures and friendly helpfull staff small and unique like a boutique university. So I am very happy here for all the above reasons However my only complaint is that there is a poor level of student nightlife and not great food menus.
So overall I am really happy studying here and i have met some really fantastic people. They are supportive and fun and studious but also have helped me stay focused. It quite chilled out here and theres not lots to do but there s always time to study in the library and attend debates.
I do not really know what my job prospects will be to be honest I have rated them a possible three I hope that I am not being over optimistic in the current climate. The whole uni experience is good with unique programmes tailored to meet students needs. Friendly people always wiling to help.
so it is a really lovely setting to study here and although the town is some what lacking as it is small in size and not that lively the uni does put on a lot of social events and balls so I cant really complain about that, besides it gives you more time to study, so I am satisfied so far with BU.
I would advise any prospective students thinking of coming along to study at the University of Buckingham to spend tome and review the area thoroughly check out the independent student reviews and the cost of living and quality of the courses and nightlife and campus facilities.
Overall it is not bad here there are certain things that could have made my time here so much more pleaseurable and the fact that the city student life is non existant is definitely a grumble for me I have visited other uni's and they have had vibrant and buzzing social scenes, not here.

by coming to study here at the university of Buckingham you will find that it is a good community place but really please do not get excited and expect that there is very much at all for any students to do at the weekend. Improved gym facilities would be nice and more equipment.
