A Really Useful Guide

University of BuckinghamA R e a l l y U s e f u l G u i d e

Welcome...Your journey in higher education is something unforgettable – something amazing.

On these pages you’ll see what it’s really like to be a Buckingham student and what makes Buckingham such a fantastic place to live and study.

We do things differently here. We complete our degrees in two years instead of three, so our holidays are a little shorter and we work a little harder. But we certainly know how to enjoy ourselves too.

As President of the Students’ Union it’s my job to make sure that every student has the best possible time here, and we’ve got lots of societies and sports to take you away from your studies, along with all sorts of events held most days of the week. We have over 90 nationalities studying here so you can learn and party with the rest of the world whilst never leaving campus.

We are also a community as much as a university. Your lecturers, classmates, housemates and so on, will become part of your life. And whether on campus or in town, you’ll always see a friendly face. From two years at Buckingham you’ll carry, for the rest of your life, firm friendships and great memories, as well as a degree that will open all sorts of doors in your future career. But don’t just take my word for it – have a look through this guide, and why not visit us and feel the Buckingham difference? We would love to meet you.

Why our students love Buckingham

You get lots of individual attention at the University. The lecturers are dedicated and work hard to make sure you succeed.

Samuel Arch, Law

I like the atmosphere and the environment of the University because it’s peaceful and calm. Everything in Buckingham is in close proximity.

Alvin Okware, Business Management with Applied Computing

The staff here are absolutely awesome – if you ever have an issue they are there. I also like Buckingham town because of its history and scenery.

Aylish McGill, PsychologyAs a small University you get to know everyone – there is always a familiar face around. The tutorial groups are small and you have very close contact with your tutors.

Sara Tahir, Law

Buckingham is a beautiful town and we have a very diverse campus. You learn a lot from different cultures.

Yumna Najdi, Communications, Media and Journalism

I enjoy the strong sense of community here. The countryside around Buckingham is beautiful, and I enjoy exploring the area and being able to walk to places like Stowe Gardens whilst still being in close proximity to cities like Oxford and London.

Amanda Vernon, English Literature

Relaxed and friendly with a great variety of shops, cafés and pubs to explore, Buckingham is the perfect place to unwind after a hard day’s study. And for some unforgettable nights out, Milton Keynes, Oxford and London are a short journey away.

Law Society As the largest society of the University, the Law Society has something happening every week of term, whether it’s a mooting or negotiation competition, a trip or social event. The highlight of its social calendar is the annual Law Ball, which attracts hundreds of students and is held in the magnificent Stowe House.

President from January–July 2014, Justin Jannati loves his role within the society for the opportunities it gives him to work with a team and improve the society for others. “It’s something to be proud of. I’m able to speak to fellow students and see what they want, and being able to implement those things is a great experience and achievement for yourself.”

We Love Societies

From grandiose balls to chilled out BBQs and cultural days, our Students’ Union and societies provide you with all sorts of activities, events and opportunities all year.

BATS If you have a love of performance the Buckingham Arts and Theatre Society – or BATS – is the society for you. Last year they produced The Little Shop of Horrors and next up is Grease.

Chinese SocietyThe society’s main goal is to “bring all Chinese students together, giving them lots of events that will make their time at Buckingham as enjoyable as possible," says the current President, Lianxu Wang. As well as organising an extravaganza of performances for Chinese New Year (pictured above) and other occasions, they also arrange cultural exchanges with other societies at the University. They hold regular karaoke nights and informal get-togethers too.

Psychology Society“I restarted the Psychology Society, which was dormant at that time, in 2013. I wanted to create a social hub that would also complement our studies, and thought it would be a great opportunity to bring people together from diff erent years and disciplines.

We’ve had some big speakers come and give talks – for example Rita Carter, an expert in neuropsychology, who wrote one of our recommended texts. We had two or three talks a term last year, and as a committee member I got to meet the speakers personally afterwards and ask things you wouldn’t have been able to in the talk itself, which I really enjoyed. Then we also arrange monthly pub meets and psychology-themed movie nights, and we always do something special for Christmas and Easter. We do a lot of trips, too, such as to the Freud Museum in London, and to Derren Brown events.

Being in a university is a once in a lifetime experience, and one which you will want to make as rich as possible. With a society you can do that, and really make it something memorable.”

John Wing, Psychologypresident of the Psychology Society Jun-Dec 2013

Gaming SocietyFancy yourself as a hardcore gamer? Kathleen Turingan set up the Gaming Society in 2013 to share her passion for gaming and to give students the chance to unwind and meet each other in a fun and friendly environment. “The society isn’t culture or gender specifi c so anyone can come and join in,” she says. The society holds frequent games nights in the Student Bar, which are for people of all abilities, as well as competitions. There are a range of consoles, including retro ones such as the Nintendo 64, and plenty of board games too.

University isn’t all about studying, and at Buckingham there are all sorts of sports and activities to get stuck into:


Stefan Regelous, History with JournalismChairman, Manager and Centre-back for the University of Buckingham Football Team

Angelica Vargiu, Business Management Captain of the Cheerleading Team

Angelica has been a part of the cheerleading team since it was created in October 2012. “I’ve done dancing and gymnastics but never cheerleading. There are some aspects that are quite similar, but all the stunting parts are nothing like anything you’ve done before and it’s really fun,” she says. The team won their first trophy in a national competition just two months later.

The team train twice a week, once in a fully equipped gym in Milton Keynes where they can practise their stunts, and once in the studio on campus where they polish their routines. They consist of people from all different courses, backgrounds and abilities. “You can be a complete beginner and start from scratch. Since we’re so close we try to help each other, and the people who know what they’re doing can help the beginners. But everyone puts in so much effort they all pick it up really quickly,” says Angelica.

The team are now preparing for their next competition in a few months’ time, where they hope to pick up another trophy.


“I’ve been part of the team since I started university and I love everything about it. I do journalism and I'd like to be a sports journalist, specialising in football. I would also love it if I moved into the administrative side of football.

There’s so much being offered in terms of football at the University. The team trains every Wednesday and there’s the chance for everyone to play at the local leisure centre every Tuesday and Thursday. Within a year we should also have the University’s own team ground, and there’s also a Futsal league.

We play nine matches a term. We currently compete in the North Berks and Bucks Division 1 and we’re pushing for a promotion this season. We’re also in two cup competitions, and we’re hoping to win at least one. We have good links with MK Dons and have trained with their reserves, it was a lot of fun and they were seriously good.

Our social secretary plans parties, bowling trips, paintballing days, and other things like that for us. It’s really worth being a part of the team as you get to make so many friends and play lots of football – which for me is the best thing on the planet.”

“I have six hours of lectures a week and three hours of tutorials. Then I’m involved in making the Buckingham News Bulletin every week, which involves us fi nding and fi lming our own news stories. I’m currently one of the desk editors.

One fun story we did was the pancake race in Olney last year. The BBC and ITV love it, and they were there along with Heart FM. We were all going up against each other, seeing who could get the best angle, and it really felt like a pro-news situation.

On the course you have to be on the ball from day one and the modules are very practical and work-orientated. I’m now at an advanced level of using Photoshop and InDesign which has helped to get me part-time employment in a technology company. I also have an internship with The Times coming up, which our lecturer told us about. Apparently they’ve already got a desk set up for me.

I’m President of the Music Society. We hold events every night, including rehearsals for the upcoming musical, an open mic evening, and choir practice. This year the production of Grease the musical has been keeping me and the Society very busy. The University lent us the money to do it and it’s going to be spectacular. It will be held in a beautiful theatre at Stowe School and will be a semi-professional production because of that support.

Buckingham has a lot of pubs to go round, and I started my university experience with a freshers pub crawl. I’ll always remember it. By the time we got back to Uni a party venue had been created for us and we were set up for the rest of the night. There are people I met there who I am still friends with and even live with now.

In the day I love going to the Fireside in town. It’s a really nice little café, and their portions are huge. So for a student it’s great because you can go in there, get something that tastes really nice and that fi lls you up so much you don’t need anything much later.

Buckingham has such a good vintage feel, and not just in clothes; my house is now full of vintage furniture from the local shops, and people ask where I got all the amazing stuff from. One of the owners even showed me how to make my own.”

Esme Finch

“Everything I learn is geared towards running my own business, which I have to do as part of my degree. It’s very personal and practical as it gives you a real view of what things will be like when you’re running your business, whilst still having the safety net of the University. My business is called Squeaky Green and it sells eco-friendly wash products to use at festivals.

I come in to Uni about three days a week, sometimes four. There are about 12-15 contact hours, then I spend the same amount of time again doing research and studying for assignments and tutorial work. The business also takes up a big chunk of time so it’s not far off a full-time job. It’s perfect practice, though, as I want it to be my full-time job.

Nigel, my tutor, is a team member and mentor to me. I’ve never had a teacher like him and I probably won’t ever again – he’s one of a kind. Buckingham is unlike any other university because of the family and community feel.

My main goal is to grow my business, be an entrepreneur and promote the message of sustainability. I did the main launch of Squeaky Green last Christmas and I’m going to a weekend fair in Wales next month, then The Big Feastival. I would love to be at the top 10 festivals, especially Glastonbury, and then go international. A couple of people have already approached me from Bulgaria – it’s a bit mind blowing! I don’t think I’ll ever go back to working in a normal job now because I like running my own business too much.

I try to make time for things that chill me out. I do a lot of pilates and yoga here at the University, and the teacher is amazing. It gives me a break from the business. Even though Buckingham is quite small it has all sorts of little gems. There's a café in town that does the best hot chocolate in the world and I like going to the bar 13 High Street with the girls when there’s a cocktail night on. I love how pretty and classic the town is, and there’s a really nice boutiquey feel. It’s a chilled and welcoming environment, and you don’t feel lost. It’s a second home to me now.

I also like spending time on the University campus itself. Last summer was really lovely as we had lots of BBQs out on the main green. You get to meet so many fantastic characters and you can mix and mingle with all sorts of diff erent cultures. It’s brilliant to hear their views and you build strong friendships you think could never have developed. It’s really opened my eyes.”

When our students graduate with a wealth of skills and experience well beyond their actual degree it’s no wonder Buckingham is top in the UK for employability. Here’s what else they bring to the table:

The two-year degreeCompleting a degree in just two years is no mean feat. It demonstrates the ability to organise well and work hard, and employers recognise this. Also, having shorter holidays each year replicates a job more closely, showing that students are well prepared for full-time employment.

A step ahead Buckingham graduates can complete a master’s degree in the same time it takes others to complete an undergraduate degree, making them more skilled and employable than their peers.

Global connections With 90 different nationalities on campus you will have contacts from all over the world. Our Alumni Office also offers a large network of in-country alumni associations, hosting a number of business events across the world to help graduates network, connect, and build their career.

Extra-curricular skills There are opportunities to brush up on other skills whilst studying, including languages, IT and writing.

Careers Service Our Careers staff will help you with all aspects of your career development. As well as offering one-to-one guidance and advice to help you plan and decide upon your career, they offer employability workshops and can help develop your CV, covering letters and interview techniques. They also notify students of part-time work opportunities.

Careers More than a degree


Five years later...Sebastian Musil, Business Enterprise 2010

Sebastian Musil had a simple ambition when he applied to study Business Enterprise; he wanted to raise £20 million to set up a wind farm. “I wanted to find a way that people could reduce their carbon footprint and I felt the best approach was through business. The course enabled me to find a way of doing this.”

After graduating he got together with another Business Enterprise graduate, Alec Greenwell, to begin work on setting up a wind farm. Through their energy investment company Tempestas, they are currently working on a wind farm project in North Lincolnshire as well as various other energy management projects.

“The course doesn’t just teach you vital business theory and know-how but it’s also practical and shapes you into a better person, setting you up for the world of business,” he says.

Our graduates have become innovators, entrepreneurs and captains of industry. Here are some of their stories:

After Buckingham

two years later...Anna Temp, Psychology 2013

“Since graduating I’ve been a Clinical Neuropsychology Intern at a hospital ward specialising in epilepsy. The statistics courses and the neuropsychology course at Buckingham certainly helped in conducting the assessments and obtaining the position,” says Anna.

During her internship she was accepted into the MSc Human Cognitive Neuropsychology at the University of Edinburgh, which she started in September 2013. “I can only say that the discipline and the hard work that I have learned to do in Buckingham helps,” she says. “This is because I am used to working much, much harder than at Edinburgh, as getting your undergraduate done in two years can be quite hectic.”

Once she’s finished her MSc Anna hopes to do a doctoral degree in Psychology (DClinPsy) or go back to her home in Germany and train as a Clinical Neuropsychologist.

Buckingham has one of the best employability rates in England and Wales

19 years later... Rod Baber, European Business Management 1996

Rod entered the Guinness Book of World Records in 2000 by climbing the highest summits of 47 European countries in 835 days. In May 2007 he set another record by making the world’s highest phone call – on Mount Everest.

Rod was in his thirties when he decided to study Business at Buckingham, and since graduating he has turned his love of climbing into a business. He built the popular ZooRopia attraction at Bristol Zoo and also runs Head 4 Heights, an aerial adventure centre in the Cotswolds.

“I liked Buckingham because it wasn’t full of stereotypical students just out to have a good time. There were people from all over the world wanting to get a good education to launch their careers.”

29 years later... Mark Allen, Law 1986

Now the Chief Executive of Dairy Crest, a FTSE 250 company selling well-known dairy products such as Clover and Cathedral City, Mark Allen had left school at 16 to join the police force.

He moved to Bermuda where he specialised in policing narcotics, but soon decided he wanted to specialise in criminal law and enrolled at Buckingham aged 24. Just after graduating he took a temporary job with a firm of accountants. “It opened my eyes to the world of business and I decided I didn’t want to be a lawyer after all,” says Mark. Instead he became an area manager with Shell, the oil company. Five years later he joined Dairy Crest as a regional manager, and became Chief Executive in 2006.

“My degree from Buckingham was the key to the door. It gave me the qualifications and confidence to make the career change,” he says.

Eight years later...Adekunle Osibogun, Law 2007

Adekunle, 32, is now a dual-qualified lawyer, having been admitted as both a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and into the Bar of England and Wales. He also manages a law office in Lagos, Nigeria, and runs a not-for-profit organisation that tackles under-development in Africa. His aspiration for later in life is to return to Buckingham and contribute to the Law Faculty.

“The value of studying at the University of Buckingham comes from not only the intensity of its two-year law degree programme, but also its faculty and interactive learning activities such as tutorial groups, oral presentations, moots and debates, which are all beneficial to a student’s learning experience. I appreciated and enjoyed the cosmopolitan student body in the serene English countryside, and these make the University’s student experience second to none,” he says.

21 years later...Deborah Webster, Psychology with Business 1994

Deborah, now 42, wanted a degree to improve her career prospects and the two-year degree at Buckingham was the perfect solution. It worked; within a short time of graduating she joined the marketing team of Sega, who were setting up a new toy division. At just 27 she was Head of Marketing of a 60-million euro start-up project in Malta. She then moved to Dubai, where she built up a financial services practice.

After learning about a company which, despite having a large corporate-social responsibility budget, cut off the water supply to poor people in South America, Deborah decided to dedicate her career to helping such people. After working with several water projects in Africa she has now set up a practice focusing on personal governance and succession planning. This involves advising the children of wealthy families about the investments they are involved with from an ethical perspective.

Accommodation and Student Welfare

Rooms are all fully furnished and centrally heated with internet access and cooking facilities. Most have a wash basin and small refrigerator as well. Some disabled rooms and facilities are available.

Choose from en-suite and shared bathrooms, mixed and single-gender halls, riverside locations, and designated quiet blocks. First-year accommodation is guaranteed.

All accommodation is within close proximity to the University; on average about a 10-minute walk away. Each block has a Residential Assistant, a second-year student who will help you settle in and make sure your stay in halls is enjoyable and problem-free. There is also a 24-hour security service on call for any emergencies.

If you do not want to live in halls of residence there is also a large selection of privately-owned accommodation in town which our Accommodation Office will help you to find. Student WelfareOur on-site Student Welfare Team looks after both the emotional and medical well-being of students during their time at Buckingham. Every student is also allocated a personal tutor who is there to offer advice and provide support with study and other matters. If you are ill or have a medical problem the University doctors hold a regular surgery in the Welfare Department during term time.
