BOSTON AND BUCKINGHAM: A NEW PARTNERSHIP

Tuesday 25th November 2003

On Monday 27th October a new partnership was forged between the University of Buckingham and EUSA (European Study Abroad), which is affiliated with Boston University of Massachusetts.

The aim of this partnership is twofold:

• Buckingham students will be given the opportunity to complete work placements in a wide range of areas and locations and to study abroad through an extensive European network maintained by EUSA.
• More American students will be given the chance to study at Buckingham.

Buckingham students can build on their academic qualifications by gaining valuable work experience in five European cities: London, Paris, Madrid, Dublin and, in 2005, Geneva. Inexpensive, secure accommodation in central London, with Buckingham-in-London student facilities and social programmes, will be available to our students via the University’s new London office.

The new affiliation gives Buckingham a London base, strengthens the University’s links with continental Europe and adds a special American dimension to Buckingham’s existing international profile through association with America’s fourth largest private university, Boston University.

If you are about to graduate and haven’t yet found a job, our work placements might be for you. Find out more about work placements and accommodation by contacting the head of our new London office, Jeremy Howard, or his assistant by phone on +44 (0)207 244 2916.

Email contacts are michelle@bu-london.co.uk (for accommodation) or euworkplacements@buckingham.ac.uk (for work placements).
