Notes
 
The academic year at Buckingham consists of four ten-week terms and nearly all courses are completed in two years. The University is independent of direct government funding and charges full cost tuition fees. However, the accelerated 2-year programme can mean that the higher fee per year represents an overall financial saving compared with a standard 3-year programme, when living costs are taken into account. Details are available from the University´s website: www.buckingham.ac.uk/study/fees or the Enquiries Office on 01280 820313.
 
Different arrangements exist for students from Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. The relevant island government may pay full fees. Island students should check with their local education department.
