About Research Biography, MA - at University of Buckingham

The cutting-edge Taught MA in Biography was founded in 1996, remains unique to Buckingham and is consistently rated 'excellent' by external examiners and inspectors. Since then, in response to student demand, the available options have been extended to include our MA by Research. Study can be on either a full-time or a part-time basis.

Guest seminars on the course are led by leading biographers, critics, publishers and agents. Teachers and speakers on the course have included Andrew Motion, Kathryn Hughes, Frances Wilson, Frances Spalding, Jeremy Lewis, Rupert Shortt, Caroline Dawnay, Andrew Lownie and
