A degree from the University of Buckingham is not just an additional piece of paper, but a guaranty that our study programmes and the experience of studying are at the same level as those at British universities. Our students, therefore, can be sure that they will get the same quality education as they would get by studying in the United Kingdom.
The quality assurance extends to our assessment procedures. Just as in the United Kingdom, our assessment procedure is fully transparent and objective.
Indented learning outcomes are clearly communicated to students and all exams generally have optional questions (e.g. answer six out to eight). All exams are marked by two internal examiners. In addition, the fairness and consistency of marking is checked by an external examiner (a professor form a British university appointed by the University of Buckingham).
We are constantly striving to provide the best possible education and experience for our students, and to give you the best start in your career. We place a high emphasis on innovation in course design. Many of our modules include computer lab workshops which enable students to put theory into practice and learn how to use professional software.
We pride ourselves in the personalized and small group teaching approach with significant attention paid to discussions so you won’t get lost in a crowd. In case that a problem arises, you can be sure that you will get a full attention and a personalized solution.
The department offers undergraduate, taught-graduate and research programmes in business and economics. With all programmes validated by the University of Buckingham and a small student/staff ratio, we guarantee individual attention and a tutorial-based learning environment to each student.
Our curriculums are flexible and provide students with opportunities to explore their talents and career interests. After being introduced to the main the main principles of economics and business, our undergraduate students choose their major discipline (business or economics) in the second year.
Another customization option is available in the third year when students select minor discipline they want to specialize in (business, economics or finance).
Prospective graduate students can choose our MBA and MSc programmes in economics or finance. Research-oriented candidates with a strong background in economics or finance can conduct supervised research and earn an MSc or PhD degree.
