About us

The University of Buckingham has a unique atmosphere, unlike that of any other higher educational institution. Despite being the UK's smallest University and the only independent University to hold a Royal Charter, Buckingham has staff from over 25 countries, making it a truly distinctive work environment.

The University of Buckingham is thus a place where teachers, support staff and students will get to know each other personally and staff have the opportunity for full involvement in University life. The University's surrounding area has many picturesque walks, beautiful villages and heritage buildings of national importance which make a very pleasurable working environment.

The University of Buckingham created the UK's first independent, not-for-profit, Medical School in 2015. Our guiding philosophy is to produce highly ethical, honest, and compassionate doctors who will put the patient first. Our condensed year MBChB programme is derived from a well-established curriculum, and we now have an intake of around 120 students per year. Our medical school is small enough for our students to be part of a coherent and supportive community, and large enough to provide all the experience needed to become a medical practitioner. We received our GMC accreditation in May 2019 and our first intake took up their Foundation Training in August 2019.
