    Birkbeck offers a unique combination of evening study and an excellent central London location, right in the geographic and academic center of the city, giving you exceptional opportunities. At Birkbeck, you can build your own university experience, with as little or as much support as possible. Birkbeck offers a famously friendly, welcoming environment, and we will be with you every step of the way, offering academic support and pastoral guidance, whenever you need it.
    Moreover, studying in the evening does not mean you can't get the full student experience of life at a vibrant city-center university: our main campus is on the University of London's central London campus, next to other universities, surrounded by world-famous museums and galleries, in the heart of London, and we're just a few minutes' strolls from London's famous West End. Birkbeck is different: our classes are held in the evening, so your days are free - to study, work, volunteer, or do your own thing.
    We know the conventional university model is not right for everyone. Our evening teaching gives people who care about their future something special: the opportunity to study at a world-class, research-intensive university and progress their life goals simultaneously.
    With a global reputation for high-quality research and teaching, Birkbeck is part of the prestigious University of London, alongside University College London (UCL), King's College London (KCL), the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), among others.
    At Birkbeck, you can choose as much or as little of the standard university experience. You might work during the day, a study in one of Bloomsbury's world-famous libraries, undertake an internship via Birkbeck Talent, our in-house professional recruitment service - or do something completely different. Many people are drawn to Birkbeck because we support and enable diverse life choices.
    The combination of evening study and a city-center location offers you exceptional opportunities. Our main campus is next to other universities, surrounded by world-famous museums and galleries and in the heart of corporate and governmental London. With the West End, Soho, Covent Garden and King's Cross on our doorstep you can take full advantage of London's world-famous shops, restaurants, bars, theatres and clubs before and after your evening classes. Everything that London has to offer is here for you to enjoy.
    You will have access to affordable sports facilities, societies, music venues, bars, and cafes of Student Central, right next door to our main campus in Bloomsbury, central London. Birkbeck's flexible yet focused learning attracts a particular type of student: hard-working, dedicated, and determined to improve themselves. When you walk into a Birkbeck classroom, you will be surrounded by committed, enthusiastic students from all backgrounds, careers, and cultures, aged from 18 to 80. The wealth of workplace and real-world experience and opportunities to network and collaborate are unrivaled.
    In many universities, the top academics do not teach undergraduates, but at Birkbeck, they do. We believe our students' varied experiences enrich our teaching, so we will share knowledge and support you, as equals. The reasons people choose to study in the evening are as individual and varied as the people you will sit next to in class: young people who want to gain experience in the workplace. In contrast, they study working Londoners looking for a promotion or career change. People who missed out on university the first time around or those who are only passionate about their subject.
    Birkbeck was created 200 years ago to provide university education for working Londoners. We still believe in the power of knowledge to transform lives, so we go out of our way to make education accessible to as full a community as possible. If you have the commitment and ability to study, we will find a way to make it happen. Most of our students work, intern, or volunteer during the day, which means that Birkbeck graduates are better placed to get ahead in a competitive job market. They are recognized and highly valued by employers for their maturity, independent-mindedness, focus, and determination. That is why 95% of Birkbeck's students are in work or further study six months after graduating. Birkbeck also has its own professional in-house recruitment agency, Birkbeck Talent, to connect you with London's top employers for employment opportunities and paid internships.
