Leia Reid made this Freedom of Information request to University of Buckingham as part of a batch sent to 104 authorities
This authority is not subject to FOI law, so is not legally obliged to respond (details).
This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was refused by University of Buckingham.

Dear University of Buckingham,

I would like to request the following information under the Freedom of Information act.

How many parking spaces do you have available to students on campus?

What are the distances (in miles) from the halls of residence to the main university campus? Please list names and distances between campuses if there are more than one. Please also list the distance between your nearest halls of residence to each campus.

If there is parking available on all university campuses, are there any parking charges? If so, what are these? Please list all campus parking charges if there are differences in pricing.

Are the parking spaces at the university campus secured at night and at weekends? If so, how?

If there is parking available at the student halls of residence, what are the parking charges? Please list all residences parking charges if there are differences in pricing.

Are the parking spaces at the halls of residence secured at night and at weekends? If so, how?
If students require parking permits to park at their halls of residence or on campus, how much do these cost?

If you do have permits or parking charges both at campus and halls of residence, how many parking fines have been issued to students over the past 5 years?

Please let me know if you have any further questions or require further clarification.
Thank you,
Leia Reid

info, University of Buckingham

Thank you very much for getting in touch. Here are some answers to
questions we are commonly asked. If your specific question isn’t covered
here, we will respond to your enquiry personally as soon as possible
(typically, within 2-3 working days). 

You may also find it useful to check out our [1]Covid-19 Frequently Asked
Questions page, which is being continually updated with the latest
information on how the virus is impacting areas such as applying, teaching
and learning, visits to campus etc..  

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

ADMISSION  

How do I apply for a place at Buckingham? 

You can apply to study with us directly, using the online application form
on our website. First choose the subject you are interested in by clicking
one of the icons on [2]University of Buckingham - Home of the Two-Year
Degree home page. Then, select your level (Undergraduate or Postgraduate)
and click on your course. Once on the course page, click on the APPLY
button and choose APPLY DIRECT. You can find out more about what’s
involved in applying directly [3]here.  

If you are an International Student, you may also apply to us via an
agent: a full list of our international agents can be found [4]here. 

Alternatively, you can apply to study with us as one of your five choices
on UCAS (our UCAS code is B90).  

What is the application deadline? 

We can normally accept direct applications up until five weeks before a
course starts. However, the earlier you apply the better, particularly if
you are an international student and need a Student visa and/or want to
secure a room in University accommodation. To understand the requirements
for a Student visa, please see below (Student visa section).  

How long will it take for me to hear once I have applied? 

It can take up to 3 weeks to hear back from us, but often much sooner.  

Useful contacts 

If you have any questions about the Admissions process, get in touch with
our Admission team on [5]Admissions | University of Buckingham.  

For those with questions relating to our Medicine or Allied Health
programmes, please contact: [6][email address

 

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS 

How can I find out whether I meet the entry requirements for a course? 

The entry requirements listed on our course pages indicate the typical
requirements for each course. If you have additional queries regarding our
entry requirements, please contact [7][email address].  

How can I find out whether my international qualifications meet the entry
requirements for a course? 

The entry requirements listed on our course pages indicate the typical
requirements for each course. If you have studied a different school
qualification to those listed, you can find information on their
equivalents on the country pages listed [8]here. Not all countries are
listed on the website. However, we welcome applications from all
international countries. If your country is not listed please apply and
submit any transcripts and grades from High School or higher
qualifications with your application.  

All applications are assessed individually and all qualifications are
considered, though we may ask you to provide translated certified copies
or NARIC equivalency certificates for international qualifications. 

I am an international student - what are your English language
requirements? 

It’s very important that your level of English is of a good standard so
that you can be successful in your studies. We therefore have higher
requirements than the minimum specified for a UK Student study visa, and
you must achieve them in all 4 components – listening, reading, speaking
and writing.  

You can find out about our English language requirements [9]here,
including how to find approved language tests and providers in your
country. We will need to see evidence of your English language
capabilities before we can issue you with the Confirmation of Acceptance
for Studies (“CAS”) documentation you need to apply for a visa, so please
make sure you book your test in plenty of time. 

Note that if you don’t quite meet our English Language requirements, we
offer a Pre-Sessional English Language Foundation programme which can
bring you up to the level required for your course. For more information
on our Foundation courses, please visit our website: [10]Foundation course
| Integrated Foundation Year | University of Buckingham. 

BURSARIES AND SCHOLARSHIPS 

What bursaries and scholarships do you offer? 

Our [11]bursaries and scholarships page contains links to information
about the bursaries and scholarships we offer, including the criteria for
being considered and how to apply. There are also external scholarships
for which you might be eligible: you can find information [12]here. 

You will see that most scholarships are for high achieving students with
very strong grades and excellent English language skills.  

Do you offer full scholarship?  

Please note - WE DO NOT OFFER ANY FULL SCHOLARSHIPS. If your financial
circumstances mean that you will only be able to study at Buckingham if
you receive a full scholarship, we encourage you to carefully consider
whether you are likely to be eligible for any of the scholarships listed
in the links above and consider other financial support such as a student
loan before you apply.   

STUDENT VISA 

If you are an international student, please visit our [13]student visas
page to find out what you need to get ready beforehand (including
compliant bank statements showing you have enough money to fund your
studies, and evidence of your English language capabilities).
