“Birkbeck has changed my life. I didn’t have A-Levels, but Birkbeck provided me with the opportunity to study a degree in criminology, a subject I’m really passionate about. Birkbeck gave me the best of both worlds as I was able to continue working as a kitchen porter whilst studying, and the savings I have accumulated has meant I can now live independently. I’m excited for my future and becoming a probation officer, when I'll help to protect the public and reduce reoffending.”
