Birkbeck is different: our classes are held in the evening, so your days are free - to study, work, volunteer or just do your own thing.

We know the conventional university model isn’t right for everyone. Our evening teaching gives people who care about their future something special: the opportunity to study at a world-class, research-intensive university and progress their life goals at the same time.

With a global reputation for high-quality research and teaching, Birkbeck is part of the prestigious University of London, alongside University College London (UCL), King’s College London (KCL), the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), among others.

- Although i expected there to be a gym. But otherwise, the rest of the facilities such as the library or the student union experience has been fantastic.

- Overall, my experience has been extremely great. I only attend university once a week while being a full-time student. Its always fun attending classes and studying in your own time, flexibility is one of the biggest benefits.

- The quality of teaching is very good. All the module content is available on the university website. This enables me to learn in my own time before my classes. The lectures and seminars are very fun to attend.
