Is University of Buckingham any good?

Question

I have places in essex, nottingham trent, and kingston.

But Uni of Buckingham is the only place probably in UK which offers full BSc or BA in 2 years instead of 3.

This is the only reason I want to go there as Im 20 now, and i dont want to leave a university at the age of 23.

Id rather leave at 22.

Answer 1

It does not have the same reputation as the other universities, they were all new universities in the last 20 years and used to be polytechnics, so more vocational and science based.

They claim to do a fast track 2 year course over 4 terms per year, so the teaching will be intensive. They have a higher than average teacher:student ratio and guarantee accommodation. It is geared to attracting overseas students and if your ready for the challenge then yes it can be done in 2 years. Any employer will see that you finished the degree at 22. But you are putting a huge strain financially and practically on yourself and family.

You can do a part-time degree with weekend or evening study and still earn in the week.

You can study by Open University and work fulltime, yes it takes longer but you need to think what you want as a course and if in 2 years your needs might change, so have a course which is respected and flexible.
