Centre for Learning and Professional Development (CLPD) workshop timetable
The Centre for Learning and Professional Development (CLPD) offers a range of academic development workshops for students. Some courses are initially only available to first year undergraduates, but other students can join a standby list. Please contact the CLPD team to be put on the standby list.
All workshops are free of charge unless stated otherwise. You will need your Birkbeck username and password to book a place. If you are not yet fully enrolled or only very recently enrolled then you can still sign up by contacting the CLPD team directly.
You will need your Birkbeck student number.
We also run workshops for students enrolled on courses in Stratford. For further subject-specific workshops see School and Department workshops.
