Why Birkbeck?

As a research-intensive institution, Birkbeck provides the highest quality teaching by academics who are experts in their fields: over 90 per cent of our academics are research-active - the highest rate for any multi-faculty institution in London.

Our evening teaching attracts a diverse student community and your peer group in class will be professionals working in all sectors of this vibrant capital city.

Situated in central London (WC1), Birkbeck is surrounded by other University of London colleges including UCL and SOAS. World-class research resources such as the British Library and British Museum are within easy walking distance. Many of London's top attractions are on our doorstep: Big Ben and the London Eye; plus galleries, museums, and the West End with its shops, theatres, bars and clubs.

There's never been a better time to choose London!
