Prospective students

All our courses can be studied on a part-time basis, and many are also available for full-time study. Most classes take place in the evening, with occasional day or weekend workshops.

Those teaching you are well published experts in their fields and are passionate about working with the distinctive body that Birkbeck students make up. They appreciate the special qualities of mature students and find teaching them both challenging and rewarding.
