OK - then it's a good option as it may work out cheaper. Buckingham is a small town but it is near Milton Keynes and Oxford.

It's a three year degree compressed into two years. I don't think they offer a sandwich year - you'd have to look at a conventional uni and that would be a four year course.
The campus for the biomed course is in Crewe, which is a fair sized town with a train station- the trains to manchester and Liverpool are under £10 for a return ticket and the trains are generally 30-45mins. The campus is small and the cohort is only 30 so the lectures can be tailored for you. The 2 year course is ideal for anyone wanting to go onto medicine or study further, however you will loose july- august summer holiday due to it being term time- but in the long run you will only miss 1 summer and get your degree 1 year quicker. The lecturers are decent but you are expected to do a lot of extra reading in order to attain a 70% and above grade- which would give you a 1st class degree.

Hi! I have a question on this course were there exams? And were they in person or online? Also the lectures are they recorded or do you have to attend everything live
