Q: Is it hard to get into the Birkbeck University of London?

A lot of people have chosen to attend the Birkbeck University of London in Bloomsbury, which is one of the easiest universities to get into in the country. It has an acceptance rate of 74% which makes it highly likely for international students to secure a place in their preferred program.

Q: Is Birkbeck good for Law?

Among the top law schools in the UK and one of the top three in London, Birkbeck ranks among the top of the Times Higher Education Research Excellence Framework (REF) rankings for research intensity.

Q: Is Birkbeck better than Brunel?

Birkbeck appears to be a more prestigious university on paper. It has ties to places such as King's College, University College London, and London School of Economics, and is older, so the alumni network should be stronger than Brunel's.

Q: Can you apply to university twice?

Sometimes it’s okay. Most of the time universities are happy with the applicants applying to more than one course, but it's the personal statement that will probably be different.

About the University

History, Affiliations, and Rankings

The then "London Mechanics' Institute" was founded by Sir George Birkbeck, a physician and graduate from the University of Edinburgh, in 1823 at a meeting at the Crown and Anchor Tavern on the Strand. An opening up of the University of London's examinations for its degree was a result of changes in its structure in 1858. Since then, it has become the primary institution for part-time university education. A central University of London college, Birkbeck was the only one to remain in London during World War II. The University has academic affiliations with the Association of Commonwealth Universities, European Universities Association, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and Universities UK. The Birkbeck University Of London secured the ranking of #332 in the QS World University Rankings. U.S. News and World Report ranked the University #886 in Best Global Universities.
