慈善家乔治·伯克贝克于1823年创立了伦敦机械学院，为首都的工人阶级提供教育
该研究所允许工匠和工匠学习科学、艺术和经济，这在当时被认为是激进的。在首次开放七年后，该研究所开始招收女性，这是该国最早这样做的机构之一
到1858年，伯克贝克已经成为那些想要大学教育但又负担不起全日制学习的学生的热门选择
Birkbeck的精神——现在是伦敦大学的一部分——仍然是不可或缺的一部分，那就是相信所有社会经济背景的人都应该接受高等教育
如今，它是伦敦唯一的夜间高等教育专业提供商，为18000名学生提供灵活的学习机会，这些学生主要以兼职方式学习课程，并适应他们的就业和家庭生活
Birkbeck也是一家著名的研究机构：在2014年卓越研究框架中，其73%的研究被评为“世界领先”或“国际优秀”
该大学共有五所学校，包括19个不同的学术部门
它位于布鲁姆斯伯里市中心的主校区靠近其他领先的伦敦大学、世界级的研究资源，以及博物馆和美术馆，包括大英博物馆、大英图书馆和惠康收藏馆
2013年，该大学扩建，在伦敦东部的斯特拉特福德开设了一个耗资3300万英镑的新校区
该大学与世界各地的多所高等教育机构建立了联系，包括香港树仁大学、圣保罗大学和纽约哥伦比亚大学，这些机构允许教师之间的研究合作，并为海外学生提供在伯克贝克获得学位的机会
该大学还有自己的专业内部招聘机构，名为Birkbeck Talent，帮助学生与伦敦顶级雇主联系，在毕业时获得实习和工作
伯克贝克最著名的校友包括第一任工党首相拉姆齐·麦克唐纳、诗人兼剧作家TS·艾略特、社会改革家安妮·贝桑特和在索姆河战役中阵亡的第一次世界大战诗人艾萨克·罗森伯格
The philanthropist George Birkbeck founded the London Mechanics’ Institute in 1823 to provide education to working class men in the capital.
In what was considered radical at the time, the Institute allowed artisans and craftsmen to learn about science, art and economics. Seven years after it first opened its doors, the Institute began to admit women - one of the first institutions in the country to do so.
By 1858 Birkbeck had become a popular choice for students who wanted a university education but who could not afford to study full-time
Remaining integral to Birkbeck’s ethos – now part of the University of London – is the belief that higher education should be available and accessible to those from all socio-economic backgrounds.
Today it is London’s only specialist provider of evening higher education, offering flexible learning to 18,000 students who predominantly study for their courses on a part-time basis and fit them around employment and family life.
Birkbeck is also a renowned research institution: 73% of its research was rated ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework.
The university consists of five schools in total, comprising 19 different academic departments.
Its main campus in the heart of Bloomsbury is located close to other leading London universities, world-class research resources, as well as museums and art galleries, including the British Museum, the British Library and the Wellcome Collection.
In 2013 the university expanded, opening a new £33million campus in Stratford, east London.
The university has links with a number of higher education institutions worldwide – including Hong Kong Shue Yan University, the University of Sao Paolo and Columbia University in New York – which allow for research collaborations among faculty and the opportunity for overseas students to combine their studies with a degree at Birkbeck.
The university also has its own professional in-house recruitment agency called Birkbeck Talent, which helps connect students with London’s top employers for internships and jobs on graduation.
Among Birkbeck’s most notable alumni is Ramsay MacDonald, the first Labour Prime Minister, the poet and playwright TS Eliot, social reformer Annie Besant, and Isaac Rosenberg, the First World War poet who was killed in the battle of the Somme.
