About Us

Company size 51 to 200 Revenue £4m to £20m (GBP) Industry Education Headquarters Yeomanry House, Hunter St, Buckingham MK18 1EG Link University of Buckingham website The University of Buckingham is the UK's only independent Chartered University and provides undergraduate and postgraduate courses for full time and part time students, and supports an independent and vigorous research agenda. Buckingham is a higher education institution with approximately 2000 students. We are fully committed to providing personal, small-group teaching for our students and pride ourselves on delivering one of the best staff-student ratios in British Higher Education. The University offers an attractive and stimulating environment in which to work. We employ over 300 permanent staff, as well as visiting lecturers. There are Schools of Study in Business, Education, Humanities, Law, Psychology and Computing and the UK's first private Medical School which opened in January 2015. Research is valued and encouraged. The University aims to establish an international reputation for academic quality and to develop as a centre for innovative and independent thinking on social and policy issues. A unique feature of the University is the two-year degree. We teach for four terms a year, with students joining the University in January or July. Obtaining a degree in two years is cited by many students as being the main reason for coming to Buckingham. The University occupies two main sites set in attractive surroundings, within easy reach of the historic and picturesque conservation town centre of Buckingham. The campus is not far from the M1 and M40 Motorways and there is a regular coach service direct to Oxford and Cambridge. The Euston-Birmingham main line runs through Milton Keynes, which is about 12 miles away. The University reserves the right to interview candidates upon application and appoint before the deadline so early application is encouraged to avoid disappointment. The University of Buckingham is among the fifteen smallest in the UK and is rightly proud of its distinctive features, namely: it is the only private University in the UK with a Royal Charter; secondly, it pioneered the first accelerated (two-year) degree; and finally, it provides students with a personalized learning experience through its small-group academic tutorial system and exceptional pastoral care provision.
