Boost your career

Our flexible teaching times and modes help you get ahead of other graduates in a highly competitive job market, by allowing you to work, intern or volunteer around your classes. 

Whether you are a school-leaver just starting out, a working professional seeking a promotion or a career change, or somebody with an established career, Birkbeck students have one thing in common: they are highly valued by employers for their maturity, independent-mindedness, focus and determination. That’s why 85% of Birkbeck graduates are in employment or further study 15 months after graduating (HESA Graduates Outcomes Return 2020/21).

Achieve your career potential

We are committed to helping you make the most of your Birkbeck experience. Not only will you graduate with a prestigious University of London degree, but you will be equipped with the up-to-date knowledge and transferable skills demanded by employers. 

Whether you decide to work while you study or enter the job market after graduation, you will have access to our Careers and Enterprise Service.
