BSc in Business Economics

Fees and Finance

Buckingham’s fast-tracked schedule means you’ll finish your undergraduate degree sooner and be out in the workforce up to a year earlier than if you went to another university. When living costs are included, our students pay about 20% less than they would on a three-year course at a university charging £9,535pa for tuition. And the best part is: you can graduate into the workforce with less student debt.

You could even choose to complete both an honours and a master’s degree in just three years (rather than the standard four). For specific information on your chosen courses fees, please visit the course page.
