Student skills, development and training events

Every term, we offer a range of opportunities for you to develop new skills for your studies and beyond. Whatever course you're studying, there's sure to be something for you. 

Nearly every workshop takes place in room G20 on the ground floor of the Bloomsbury campus, with other sessions taking place in Birkbeck Library and IT and teaching rooms.
