Come and meet us

Whether you choose to visit us on campus or online, we know the importance of finding out more about Birkbeck before deciding if it's the right choice for you.

Our open events give you the chance to explore our campus, chat with students and staff and attend a variety of presentations including welcome talks, school events and question and answer sessions with current students. Representatives from our Student Services will be available to answer any questions you may have on wellbeing, mental health or disability support, Library services, careers services, accommodation and admissions.

Our student ambassadors also run campus tours. These give you a feel for the area and let you discover where you'll spend your time learning, studying and socialising when you're a student at Birkbeck. If you can't get to one of our open events, or you'd like to ask some questions before you book, you can also chat to one of our student ambassadors on Unibuddy.
