A Royal Charter was granted in March 1983, under which the University College became the University of Buckingham. The University's Chancellor is Lady Thatcher of Kesteven, the former British Prime Minister, who succeeded Lord Hailsham of St Marylebone, the University's first Chancellor, and a former Lord High Chancellor of England. The University of Buckingham is unique among British Universities in that it receives no direct financial assistance from the State. Buckingham's founders felt that a State- controlled system of higher education inhibited educational experiment, and that too many graduates left universities after receiving a too narrowly specialised training. By contrast, Buckingham's emphasis on exposing its students to a broad range of subjects helps to produce graduates whose specialised knowledge of their chosen field of study is complemented by an acquaintance with other areas of scholarship. Another special feature is the four-term year which enables the University to provide as many weeks teaching in two years as other universities provide in three. Buckingham was a pioneer in widening access to university education. It operates with generous staff-student ratios in an attractive location with a high proportion of students accommodated on campus and on a scale which provides an intimate learning environment offering greater teacher support than is available in most institutions. Whilst students from the British Isles represent the largest single group, the University attracts students from all over the globe, with up to 80 nationalities being represented at any one time. In 1994 the University was awarded the Queen's Award for Export Achievement in recognition of its international provision of education. The University aims to meet the individual needs of students by placing strong emphasis on both educational quality and research achievements. The School of Law The School of Law offers programmes of study leading to the degrees of LLB and LLM, as well as providing support for postgraduate degrees by research. Law may be studied at an undergraduate level either as a single honours degree, or may be studied with languages, politics and economics or life sciences as a joint honours
