Enabling Access
Ensuring education is available to all is at the heart of what we do. We believe no student should be held back due to circumstance or background.
This year, Birkbeck is proud to
launch a new initiative to celebrate
and showcase the incredible impact
members of our Community are
having around the world.
When George Birkbeck convened a group of supporters in 1823, he brought together a community. Philosophers, politicians and philanthropists, workers, women and revolutionaries all united around one pioneering vision: to create an institution where education is available to all who want it.
Many organisations do not survive 200 years but even fewer do so in a manner their founders would recognise. Today, at a time when we are facing unprecedented changes across the globe, Birkbeck’s founding vision is more relevant than ever.
Our community of alumni, friends, staff and students play a significant role in helping Birkbeck forge ahead at the cutting edge of education, opening doors to students of all ages and backgrounds and carrying out world changing research.
Ensuring education is available to all is at the heart of what we do. We believe no student should be held back due to circumstance or background.
Student Support, from careers advice to financial aid, empowers students to succeed; from the start of their course to helping them through that last hurdle.
Our researchers are pioneering new techniques, nurturing the next generation of thinkers and seeking to uncover the next a-ha moment that could be a catalyst for change.
Our students and academics are doing amazing things and providing them with the spaces and tools to enable them to thrive is critical.
This year, we invite you to join us in celebrating the diversity and strength of our community.
Our alumni, staff, students and friends are doing incredible work around the world and we are proud that Birkbeck is part of their journey.
Every year, the Birkbeck community plays a vital role in supporting our students, staff and researchers to maximise opportunities, explore new possibilities and to fulfil their potential. Thank you for being part of it!
