University of Buckingham - Crewe Campus

The University of Buckingham is the only independent university in the UK with a Royal Charter, and probably the smallest with around 2,700 students. Honours degrees are achieved in two intensive years of study. The University of Buckingham has, in partnership with Apollo Hospitals Group, acquired the former Manchester Metropolitan University’s campus at Crewe. Crewe, close to both Liverpool and Manchester, is home to a range of allied health courses, including medicine (also taught in Buckingham), podiatry, biomedical science and postgraduate medicine. The student accommodation is just a five-minute walk from your lecture theatres.Building on from the Buckingham ethos of putting the student first and above all else, their medical school is small enough for their students to be part of a coherent and supportive community, and large enough to provide all the experience you need to become a medical practitioner.

Why the University of Buckingham - Crewe Campus?

2-Year Bachelor's Degree: they created our two-year degrees by adding an extra term in each summer. This means you can fit in the same number of teaching weeks as a traditional three-year degree without your workload getting any bigger. You could even choose to continue onto a master’s programme, finishing both an undergraduate and a master’s degree in only three years.

Culture: Each student mixes with over 100 other different nationalities and so being at Buckingham is just like being in a mini global village. These contacts, acquaintances and friendships, carry on long after life at Buckingham is over. 

Small Group Teaching: The University prides itself on being a small and friendly environment to study, live and work, and with around 2,700 students (approx 1,600 on campus) – you won’t get lost in a lecture class of 300 students, nor will you be 50th in line for borrowing a particular book from the library.

Health and Wellbeing: Recognising the importance of mental health and wellbeing to academic success, the new campus will include a wellness centre for both students and staff.
