London's evening university

Birkbeck has been London’s only specialist provider of part-time higher education since it was founded in 1823. Established experts in the field of part-time education, we have a real understanding of the needs of students who are juggling daytime work or other commitments with evening study. We attract many non-traditional students and offer them the unique opportunity to fit university studies around their busy lives.

One of the many advantages of studying at Birkbeck is that, as most teaching takes place in the evenings, you don’t have to put your career on hold in order to study with us and gain your postgraduate qualification.

In addition, to help you manage financially, we have made arrangements so that you can pay your fees in instalments, at no extra cost.
