About Birkbeck
Birkbeck is a college that forms part of the University of London and has done so since 1920. The institution got established back in 1823 under the direction of Dr George Birkbeck. Both he and his followers had a radical vision for learning in London. Their goal was to make university education accessible to workers on a part-time basis.
Fast-forward almost 200 years to the present day, and that goal is still at the heart of the college. Birkbeck continues to meet the cultural and lifestyle needs of today's modern students.
It offers a range of part-time university courses. Lectures can get attended in evenings and Saturdays. Birkbeck also offers distance-learning courses for both UK and international students.
