The University of Buckingham is:

• Home of the two-year degree, the University of Buckingham, based in the South East of England, is ranked 6th for Student Satisfaction in the UK (National Student Survey, 2020).

• We are proudly independent and not-for-profit, and offer courses in Allied Health, Business, Computing, Education, Humanities, Law, Medicine, Psychology and Security and Intelligence. We are one of the few universities in the UK that offer September and January start dates for almost all of our courses.

• Based in Buckingham on a riverside campus, we are only 20 minutes’ from Milton Keynes central station and a short drive from Bicester, Aylesbury, Banbury and Northampton. There is free parking on-site and we are within easy reach of London and Oxford.

• Our award-winning small class tutorials ensure every student is known by name and supported throughout their studies, including by dedicated personal tutors.

• As pioneers of the two-year degree, we offer a condensed version of the traditional three-year degree, meaning you can gain a full honours degree and complete your studies a whole year earlier. Alternatively, you can complete both your undergraduate and master’s degree with us in just three years: saving you time and money.

  The Intercalated Master of Science in Medical Sciences by research Programme has been designed to provide students and graduates from the medical and dental sciences with an opportunity to acquire skills and knowledge needed to pursue a research-based career in academic medicine.

Students will select from diverse aspects of medical sciences aligned to the expertise in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. They will acquire knowledge and develop understanding of medical sciences research practice and of relevant legal, ethical and public safety considerations. Additionally, students will develop experience of hypothesis-led medical research endeavour by completing an extended research project supervised by subject experts.

You will also be offered pastoral support appropriate to your own needs.
