Student Life in Buckingham

Living Here

Buckingham is surrounded by green spaces, and our riverside campus, based on the River Great Ouse, is an ideal backdrop for your studies. Enjoy the relaxing study areas or chilled restaurant and bar on campus, or take a five-minute stroll into town: everything you need is within walking distance.

We are close to the Cotswolds and are spoilt with bike trail and day hike options, but rest assured you are never far away from a city. Milton Keynes (MK) is a 20-minute drive away and offers plenty of shops, cinemas, a theatre, indoor skiing, indoor skydiving, and more. Or jump on a fast train from MK to explore many big cities.
