Santander Universities has partnered with Birkbeck to offer ten Brighter Futures Grants, totalling £10,000, that will support students through their studies.

A total of 1,294 postgraduate students graduated last week, with ten ceremonies held over four days.

Last month, an event was held to recognise the impact the Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund (ISSF) Awards have made to Birkbeck’s research culture.

This year, Birkbeck marks its 200th anniversary, making it extra special for those graduating.

The data shows the increasing need for higher education institutions to provide flexible teaching and learning options.

In her quest to drive social change, international student Jennifer Francis decided to study MRes Social Research and Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck. She shares her thoughts on how education can make a difference in the world, and why Birkbeck’s radical history made it the ideal place for her to start advocating for social change.

The conference, being held in London this month, will draw upon the findings of a five-year research project.

Professor Karen Wells has been announced as a Fellow in recognition of excellence in the field of international development and childhood, as well as her wider contributions to the social sciences.

The Rt Hon Robert Halfon MP visited Birkbeck yesterday to discover more about how Birkbeck’s flexible teaching model has been enabling lifelong learning and supporting people to improve their lives for 200 years.

As Birkbeck marks its 200th anniversary this year, it is furthering its commitment to ensuring current students and alumni always have access to the transformative power of education.
