Applying for our undergraduate, postgraduate and MPhil / PhD courses
You can apply online for any of the following courses:
- Foundation Degree / BA / BSc / LLB
- MA / MSc / MRes / LLM
- MPhil / PhD / NewRoutePhD
You'll find notes and instructions throughout the form to help you complete the process. You can save and return to your application form before submitting it, so don't worry if you can't complete it all at once.
To apply for one of Birkbeck’s full-time, evening undergraduate degrees starting in September 2011, please read the information about applying during Clearing.
Please ensure that you include all necessary documentation when you submit your form, including:
- references: it will speed up the application process if you include your references with your application
- degree transcript: you are normally expected to submit a photocopy of the documents with your application; if you are offered a place, you will be required to bring the original documents to the Registry
- IELTS/TOEFL certificate, if appropriate
We prefer all applications to be online, but if you prefer to submit a printed form, please contact the My Birkbeck helpdesk and ask for an application form to be sent to you.
