College News - Teyah

University of Buckingham, UK
In December, Teyah received her second acceptance. The University of Buckingham has offered Teyah a place on the Bachelor of Arts with Honours course in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. Buckingham is unique. It is the only independent university in the UK with a Royal Charter, and probably the smallest with around 2,700 students. Honours degrees are achieved in two intensive years of study. Class sizes are small, with a student:academic staff ratio of 10.4:1 and the Oxbridge style tutorial groups are often personalised and always exhilarating.

The university campus is well known for being one of the most attractive locations in the region. The Great Ouse river, home to much wildlife, meanders through the heart of the campus. Much of the teaching takes place in the restored buildings such as the Franciscan Building, formerly a friary, and Chandos Road Building, a converted turn-of-the-century milk factory, while students can also enjoy the Hunter Street Library, once military barracks.

Each student mixes with over 100 students from different nationalities and so, being at Buckingham is just like being in a mini global village. These contacts, acquaintances, and friendships carry on long after life at Buckingham is over. Graduates find jobs all over the world, and the friendships they make here go a long way to broadening their experience and to giving them links that possibly no other university can do at such an intense level. www.buckingham.ac.uk ​
