New research commissioned by Birkbeck has discovered an attitude shift among young people, with only 1 in 5 feeling that moving away from their hometown or city to go to university is important, and 50% wanting to get a job whilst studying.
Projects ranged from recovering the heritage of Stratford; the recognition of craftwork amongst Chilean prisoners under Chilean General Augusto Pinochet; to developing policies for innovation in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member states.
The findings demonstrate the sensitivity of natural ecosystems to climate change and enables better forecasting of impacts of future climate changes.
This year four Birkbeck students progressed to the semi-finals of the annual competition.
Staff and students from across Birkbeck came together to celebrate the academic achievements of over 1,000 students during the College’s Spring Graduations.
The majority of Birkbeck’s research (83%) has been confirmed as world-leading and internationally excellent in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), the UK’s official assessment of the quality and impact of research in universities, published today.
Graduation will take place from 3 to 5 May, with ceremonies being live-streamed so friends and family around the world who are not able to attend in-person can share in the excitement of the occasion.
Scholarships will be available to international students who are starting master’s courses in Autumn 2022 or January 2023 and are part of Birkbeck’s commitment to strengthen its global reach and diverse student community.
The one-day event follows the international launch at the end of last month which saw 1000 communities mobilized to consider climate solutions.
Birkbeck reaffirms commitment to lifelong learning ahead of 200th anniversary.
