Students know that job offers increasingly depend on gaining relevant work experience; Birkbeck's evening schedule lends itself perfectly to those who wish to work in the day. The university also provides extensive support services, including its own specialist recruitment agency, Birkbeck Talent, which helps current students and graduates find work with some of London's best employers.
A Careers and Employability Service also provides comprehensive careers, recruitment and employability advice as well as events and information, including one-to-one appointments and workshops.
Birkbeck students have been incredibly positive about the active careers service at the university, praising the quality of advice and guidance that makes the process of finding work placements so much easier.
As may be expected, many of Birkbeck’s student reviewers are already in employment, but those who have sought advice about their future careers have found their services extremely helpful and effective.
Birkbeck students on Whatuni say:
“I sincerely think this is one of the best universities in London in this area. Birkbeck organises trade fairs, invites industrialists, and allows us to work side by side thanks to part-time.”
“Weekly mails with opportunities is very helpful.”
“Had three internships and scholarship abroad.”
