Staff and students working in the Medical school with model of human body

Medical School

100% in Medicine for Career Prospects, The Guardian University Guide 2025, charcoalBuckingham’s Medical School builds on the Buckingham ethos of putting the student first. We are small enough for our students to be part of a coherent and supportive community, and large enough to provide all the experience you need to become a medical practitioner.

We’ve just celebrated the 10-year anniversary of our transformative medical programme. Our condensed 4.5 year MB ChB degree is derived from a well-established curriculum. Its every aspect is engineered to help you develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to become a professional and ethical doctor.

Accreditations

The University of Buckingham Medical School received General Medical Council (GMC) accreditation in May 2019. The GMC has commended the University for the ‘excellent professional, academic and pastoral support that extends throughout the University and clinical learning environments’ and ‘the robust systems that ensure the quality of all aspects of the MB ChB programme, including teaching and assessment’.
