Wellbeing & Support

At Buckingham, we see individuals, not numbers. We equip you with the skills and knowledge to navigate through life, building resilience so you can thrive.

Academic Support

We can help you develop the skills you need to support your academic performance, including research and writing skills. ASK, our Academic Skills team, are available to all students, including Crewe, and they work closely with the University departments, personal tutors and the various schools of study.

Careers And Employability Service

The Careers and Employability Service helps you plan and prepare for your future career. They’ll help you explore career and further study options; develop your professional skills; access work experience and prepare for success in the job market through CV writing and mock interviews. You can even sign up to the B-Enterprising scheme and complete paid micro-internships to boost your CV and earn extra cash.

Personal Tutors

Every student at Buckingham is assigned a personal tutor: these are members of our academic staff who are here to support you from the day you start to the day you complete your course. They are there to offer guidance and advice to ensure your studies are a success.

Pastoral Support

Our Wellbeing, Skills and Diversity Team offer personalised support to any student who may be encountering problems with university life or may have issues with their emotional or physical health. We work closely with the NHS, Swan Practice Buckingham and other organisations to promote health and wellbeing. The Swan Practice also arranges an on-campus clinic during term-time.

Meet Millie & Darcie

We also have two welfare dogs, Millie and Darcie, who are around if you fancy a walk or a cuddle to bust your stress and keep you feeling your best.
