Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at Birkbeck, University of London

English

BIRKBECK, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

Student Reviewer - March 2015

Getting a job after university is never easy. However support services for students were good and my course covered a broad range of subjects. Accommodation is expensive, but reasonable for London prices. The Students' Union is very good, and cheap. The university is also in a good location for clubbing and bars. read full review
The best thing about my degree was the quality of the teaching. There is so much to do in the city of London, but because of the location, accommodation is very expensive. read full review

I've not been here very long, but I'm happy so far. I feel that Birkbeck is very well respected. It's still early days, but looks promising. The Students' Union is good, but I've not been that often. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course. read full review

I'd rate the university facilities highly, as they are modern and most places are open regularly. Unfortunately, it's very expensive for students to live and study in London. read full review

The perfect combination of working and acquiring a very relevant and respected qualification in a fast paced city like London. The drawback is there are no sports facilities. The Students' Union is the cheapest bar in London. read full review
