Description

_"Now is the time for the universal benefits of the blessings of knowledge." _

_George Birkbeck, 1823_

Birkbeck is a leading teaching and research institution and a vibrant learning community based in the centre of London. Founded in 1823, we have been transforming lives for over 200 years through inspiring, accessible, and inclusive teaching, combined with world-leading research. Based in Bloomsbury and a member of the University of London, we are home to 11,000 students and over 1,000 staff. The quality and breadth of our research and its impact on the world was recognised in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework which saw 83% rated world-leading or internationally excellent.

We are the gateway for ambitious people of all backgrounds to fulfil their educational aspirations by studying in the evening with flexability around their schedules.

Through knowledge generation, our students change their lives and have an immediate impact on society, the economy and business.

With a deep commitment to social mobility and lifelong learning, Birkbeck is a distinctive educational community with a proud history of disruptive thinking, deeply cherished by students, alumni, and the wider world.

After 21 years, the current Vice-Chancellor, Professor David Latchman CBE, leaves Birkbeck at the end of 2023. Building on our mission, values, and key strengths, we are progressing with our Vision strategy. This requires driving change within an evolving post-pandemic context for the higher education sector and the workplace.

Central to our ability to thrive in our third century will be delivering our unique mission and preserving our identity by providing enhanced flexibility for students, supported by an excellent digital infrastructure and a connected campus.

Applications will close at 17:00 BST on Monday 22nd May 2023.
