What is Get Started?

Get Started is a series of free workshops for prospective students from all ages, backgrounds and subject areas, who are interested in embarking on an undergraduate course at Birkbeck.

The Get Started programme consists of three workshops. Prospective students can attend all three or just select the one(s) which are most relevant:

(1) Preparing to study and making an application

(2) Writing a personal statement

(3) Student finance

All three workshops are free, provide a friendly and interactive opportunity to ask questions and are open to all undergraduate applicants. Get Started participants will be eligible to attend a workshop delivered by the Birkbeck Careers and Employability team, to help them develop their employability skills and reflect on the connection between career and study choices. You will receive an invite to sign up to this exclusive offer once you have attended at least one Get Started workshop.
