Open events

We understand the importance of finding out more about Birkbeck before deciding if we are the right university for you. Our on-campus open events give you the chance to:

  • talk to academics about your subject area
  • explore our central London campus buildings
  • chat with students
  • get advice on wellbeing, mental health or disability support, Library services, careers services, accommodation and admissions.
