The two-year degree has already helped me boost my performance academically, as well as enabling me to be curious outside of my studies. My studies in computing at the university have helped to further improve my skills with practical knowledge, and this will be useful in my future career.
Fast-track your studies with our unique two-year degrees.
How does a two-year degree work?
Our teaching is broken down into four bite-size terms, with the same amount of teaching weeks as a typical three-year degree, so you’ll have plenty of time to get to grips with each module. You could even choose to continue onto a master’s programme, finishing both degrees in a total of three years.
Will it save me money?
Our fast-tracked schedule means you’ll finish your 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 per cent less than they would on a three-year course at a university charging £9,250pa for tuition. And don’t forget: you could enjoy a full extra year of extra earnings while your friends are studying!

The University of Buckingham has given me a great opportunity to study law in just two years without compromising on the quality of teaching. The location is rather quiet, which is perfect to study. And yet the students and staff members are very friendly and welcoming so that we will not feel lonely while studying.
