Birkbeck, University of London
Located in Bloomsbury, in the heart of London, everything the UK’s Capital city has to offer is on our doorstep.
We offer over 250 taught and research postgraduate programmes across the humanities and social sciences, business, law; and science and we’re a part of the prestigious University of London, one of the world’s best known and most highly regarded universities.
Birkbeck, University of London is built for the busy. We have over 200 years’ experience of providing exceptional learning experiences designed to fit in with students’ schedules. Our range of different study options allow our students to choose when and how they study, so they can balance their degree with work and develop the career or other commitments.
Most of our degree programmes have classes in the evenings between 6pm and 9pm and many also run classes in the afternoons, allowing you to choose between evening or daytime classes or on some of our programmes, a combination of both. Nearly all of our taught postgraduate programmes can be studied over one-year full-time or two years part-time and many modules are delivered via the latest technology which enables students who are eligible for remote study to join classes online and take part in them fully alongside those in the classroom on campus.
Birkbeck students don’t have to choose between getting a job or going to university – they can do both. Combining study with work enables undergraduates to get a step up on the career ladder whilst they study, and postgraduates to continue to develop their career whilst they study.
Expert teaching
Our people are a force for change. When you join Birkbeck, you’ll be joining a community that transforms lives. Over 90 per cent of Birkbeck academics are research-active and many are renowned experts in their fields.
In many universities, their top academics don't teach in the classroom but at Birkbeck our teaching is delivered by experts, providing valuable insights to help progress your career.
Birkbeck offers a huge variety of courses across MA, MSc and LLM qualification types and options to study research degrees such as MPhil, MRes and PhD qualifications in more than 40 subject areas.
Our postgraduate learning community includes over 4000 masters-level students and over 500 doctoral researchers, all of whom are assigned supervisors who share both their academic knowledge and research methodologies.
World class research

A university that represents you
We were set up to provide access to education for anyone who has the ability and drive to succeed, regardless of their circumstances or background. Today, we have one of the most diverse student bodies of any university in the country and we pride ourselves on the value that this brings to our learning community.
Our community reflects the diversity of London, and we have a positive approach to students with non-traditional qualifications. We are also experienced at supporting students with a range of different needs.
Our students come from 140 countries worldwide.
Our campus
Known as the ‘Knowledge Quarter’, Bloomsbury is a bustling, student-centred area that is home to the British Museum, the British Library and several other universities. Chinatown, Soho and Covent Garden, as well as some of the world’s best shops, theatres, music venues, bars and restaurants are all within a few minutes’ walk.
We’re also close to plenty of public transport options. Several Zone 1 tube stations and Euston and King’s Cross/ St Pancras mainline railway stations are within five minutes’ walk, and 24-hour buses run around our campus, so we can be easily accessed from key areas of employment including the City of London and Canary Wharf.
