Student Reviews for The University of Buckingham

Student satisfaction:
4.1 (based on 128 student reviews)

“It has been a special experience for me. The class sizes are small in most cases, so the teachers know most of the students at UCB by name. I would definitely recommend the University of Buckingham to my friends and family.”

“I like the quiet and academically-focused nature of this university. Lovely place to live in and study if you’re looking for a university experience that isn’t based around drinking like so many others. Both the staff and students are serious about what they do.”

“It’s been amazing, and the lecturers are all impressive and passionate people, which makes learning with them all the more engaging. The smaller classes give the campus a community-like feeling, and I’m looking forward to finishing the last two years of my degree here.”
