Current students

If you are currently studying with us, the easiest way to contact us is via ASK using the online enquiry form. ASK directs your query to the most appropriate member of staff and you will be able to track your query's progress and response on this system. We will respond to your ASK within five working days.

If you prefer to email us, or you cannot find the appropriate category from the drop down menu in ASK, you can also contact the Faculty by email. We will aim to reply to your email within five working days. Please do not send an ASK and an email for the same query as this will slow down our response times.

If you don’t know which School you are in or if you would rather speak to one of the education or counselling team, you can also call us:

Faculty education team: +44 (0) 3926 1000
Birkbeck Centre for Counselling team: +44 (0) 3926 1900

Phone lines are open 12-6pm Monday to Thursday, and 12-5pm on Friday. During term time you can also visit us in person from 10am-6pm Monday to Thursday and 10am-5pm on Friday. We recommend that you make an appointment via email or telephone as staff work on a rota and a specific member of the team may not be available in person on the day you are visiting.
