what our students say
andy, ma military history
“i had a longstanding interest in military history but little understanding of the skills involved in academic research. the unique and exciting quality of the buckingham programme is that it enables an interested amateur to tackle a historical question that is entirely new and to produce a work that can withstand rigorous academic scrutiny within an incredibly short timescale.”
your future career
graduates of our military history courses have gone on to become published authors, teachers, military tour guides, and commentators on relevant war and military topics: and the majority have contributed original ideas and research to build upon the world’s knowledge of military history. former students have included senior government officials, captains of industry, successful entrepreneurs and high court judges – all seeking to deepen their understanding of, and explore their passion for, war and military history.
