the history of buckingham university
Buckingham is the only university independent of direct government support in the United Kingdom and has used its independence to pioneer a distinctive approach to higher education.
On May 27th 1967, The Times published a letter from Dr J. W. Paulley, which said, "Is it not time to examine the possibility of creating at least one new university in this country on the pattern of those great private foundations in the USA, without whose stimulus and freedom of action the many excellent state universities in that country would be so much poorer."
This idea was taken up by a number of people in the business and academic worlds and three London conferences followed, two in 1968 and one in early 1969. Active supporters included Max Beloff, then Gladstone Professor of Politics at Oxford and later first Principal of the University College at Buckingham, Professor Harry Ferns and Ralph Harris. Harry Ferns and Ralph Harris were both prominent members of the Institute of Economic Affairs , an organisation whose ideas have played a major role in the development of the University.
A suitable site was found in Buckingham and on March 29th 1973 the University College at Buckingham ( UCB ) was incorporated, in the form of a non-profit making company registered as an educational charity. The Council of Management held its first formal meeting on April 3rd 1973. Lord Hailsham, the Lord Chancellor, became the first Visitor of the College and laid its Foundation stone in May 1974. UCB was formally opened in February 1976 by the Rt. Hon. Mrs Margaret Thatcher, MP, as former Secretary of State for Education. It had 65 students.

The University of Buckingham
“The University of Buckingham is a gem in the rough. We're the only private university in the UK and we've been top of the NSS for the past 3 years. You can gain a first class education from a prestigious institute where you not only complete your degree in just two years but you also take away a truly multicultural experience. Our world-class lecturers are always happy to help, be it work related or not, and our small class sizes deliver an excellent student to staff ratio, ensuring greater attention to your progress. Please explore our website, if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us.” Duane Orridge, SU Committee President

The channel tunnel
In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level. In
1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been
completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.
