Teaching and Assessment

Quality Teaching

• We offer high-quality, traditional Oxbridge-style teaching, which leads to our degrees being recognised around the world
• The standards of degrees and awards are safeguarded by distinguished external examiners – senior academic staff from other universities in the UK – who approve and moderate assessed work and by the The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA)

High Calibre Staff

• Most of our academic staff teach for three terms out of four, with the remaining term used for research
• Because of this, we have no difficulty in attracting high-calibre, highly respected lecturers, many of whom also have a background in the practice of law either as solicitors or as barristers qualified to practice in the United Kingdom and also in other overseas jurisdictions with excellent contacts with the professions and can offer networking opportunities for students

Teaching Methods

• Teaching is carried out through a combination of lectures supported by seminars, tutorials, and workshops
• A key feature of the Buckingham teaching method is the use of small tutorial groups which provide the most effective means of ensuring that the students benefit from the academic expertise at their disposal
• It is also the philosophy of Buckingham’s faculty to be available to students outside the scheduled tutorial times and to encourage good working relationships between staff and students with our excellent Personal Tutor system which supports students every step of the way

Accommodation

• We guarantee on-campus accommodation to all new students for their first four terms of study, as long as it is booked and paid for in good time, so you’re assured of a safe and secure home from home when you arrive at the University
• Most new students choose this option
• Living on campus enables you to become involved in University activities, make friends, and integrate with the University community
• For some of you, this will be your first time in the UK; for others, it will be the first time living away from home – and independence brings its challenges as well as its excitements
• Whatever your circumstances, we know how important it is for you to feel comfortable in your accommodation
