Stay Ahead programme for first year undergraduates

This seminar has now finished and we will be running it again at a later date.

The first term of a degree can be very demanding and when you have settled into your studies you may identify some problem areas. We are running a series of FREE workshops to help you get through the first term. Please note this programme is only open to first year undergraduate (BA/BSc/LLB/Foundation Degree) students.

The Stay Ahead programme includes the following workshops below. The times of some of the workshops overlap, so you will need to choose which workshop you prefer to attend.

All events are free of charge and take place in the main Birkbeck building, Torrington Square.
