Buckingham has a unique atmosphere unlike that of any other higher education institution today. It is small and friendly- a place where lecturers and non-academic staff alike will get to know you as an individual. Our freedom from external interference enables us to concentrate on the business of delivering high quality education. One of the strengths is the two-year degree. It is the first university to introduce honours degree programmes which run over a two-year period with four terms per year.
