University of Buckingham

At Buckingham, we see individuals, not numbers. We equip you with the skills, knowledge, and resilience to navigate life confidently and thrive both academically and personally.

Wellbeing, Skills, and Diversity Support

Our Wellbeing, Skills, and Diversity Team provides personalised support for any student facing challenges - whether with university life, emotional health, or physical wellbeing.

We are committed to making a positive difference in students’ health and success. By working closely with students, faculties, and other University departments, we ensure everyone has the best chance to complete their studies successfully.

We also collaborate with the NHS, Swan Practice Buckingham, and other organisations to promote health and wellbeing. During term-time, the Swan Practice hosts an on-campus clinic for easy access to medical support.

Academic Support

Need help honing your academic skills? Our Academic Skills Team, ASK, supports students in developing research, writing, and study skills. They work closely with departments, personal tutors, and schools to help you succeed academically.

Personal Tutors

Every student at Buckingham is assigned a personal tutor: these are members of our academic staff who are here to support you from the day you start to the day you complete your course. They are there to offer guidance and advice to ensure your studies are a success.

Dyslexia Support

We offer free dyslexia screenings and have a dedicated specialist who provides follow-up 1:1 sessions and group workshops tailored to your needs.

Career Support

Our Careers and Employability Service helps you prepare for your future from day one. Take advantage of one-to-one consultations, mock interviews, and an extensive online resource hub for career preparation and job hunting.

We run termly careers workshops, and you may also encounter the team as part of your academic programme, where they deliver sessions on employability skills.

Online and on-campus employer events give you the opportunity to interact with professionals from organisations ranging from global employers to local business owners, and to hear from Buckingham alumni about their career journey.
