The University of Buckingham is the UK's oldest independent university. It was incorporated as University College at Buckingham in 1973, admitted its first students in 1976 and received its Royal Charter in 1983. The main campus is in the market town of Buckingham, with riverside sites around Hunter Street and further buildings on London Road, creating a small and close-knit academic setting. The university also operates a health sciences campus in Crewe, which welcomed its first students in 2019.
Buckingham has fewer than 4,000 students, with postgraduates making up a large share of the student body. It is best known for pioneering accelerated two-year undergraduate degrees, which run alongside conventional three-year options, and for small-group tutorial teaching that gives students a high level of individual attention. Its schools cover business, computing, education, humanities and social sciences, law, psychology and medicine, including an MB ChB programme, as well as postgraduate medicine and allied health.
Information for International Students
Students at Buckingham come from more than 70 countries. The International Office, based on the Hunter Street campus, provides guidance on Student visas, accommodation and general preparation for study in the UK, and eligible offer holders receive a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). The typical English language requirement for most undergraduate programmes is IELTS 6.5 overall with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, with higher scores required for medicine.
Applicants who do not yet meet the entry requirements can study with the university's own Foundation Department. It offers a nine-month foundation pathway, with September and January intakes, leading into a two-year degree, as well as integrated foundation programmes that combine foundation and degree study in a single three-year course. A pre-sessional English programme is available for students who need to strengthen their language skills before starting their main course. The university guarantees on-campus accommodation to full-time first-year students who apply by the published deadlines. Eligible graduates may apply for the UK Graduate Route after completing their degree.
Intake Information
Intake information is provided as a general guide. Start dates vary between universities and courses, and not every course is offered at every intake. Please follow the UCAS deadlines for undergraduate applications and check the latest dates on the official University of Buckingham website.
Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with University of Buckingham is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for University of Buckingham start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. University of Buckingham may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
