Studying at Birkbeck College

Birkbeck College offers over 200 part-time or full-time undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and is one of the few UK universities to specialise in evening higher education. Classes start from 6pm, so students study alongside London’s working professionals, who are keen to network, make new contacts and advance their careers.

With its main campus being on the University of London’s central London campus, surrounded by other universities, you will still get to experience the vibrant city of nightlife, West End and famous museums and galleries.

Students from over 120 countries study at the University, and make up 9.5% of the total student population. Birkbeck organises several college-wide and department specific orientation events for international students. In addition, the general International Orientation Week runs for the first week of each year and features talks on study skills and trips around London.
