The teaching at birkbeck is great: academics are clearly passionate about what they do and willing to support students to pursue their interests. They are also understanding that students are balancing work and other commitments outside their studies, which is important. The diversity of the student body is also a great asset to the university. Some facilities feel slightly neglected and underfunded, especially classroom IT facilities, but I’m only based in one building so this may not be representative across campus.
