Birkbeck College Students' Union

Who we are

Students’ Unions have a huge impact on education and in wider society. And the impact on individuals is huge too, every day we see students undergoing life changing experiences in the activities we offer.

We are a multi-faceted organisation that covers student recreation, clubs and societies, welfare, student representation and student campaigning. We are an evening university with an incredible variety of people with many part-time students, disabled students, mature students and over 50% of our students are BME. Our membership refreshes naturally and constantly. And it means that as an organisation, we’re always developing.

Notable Birkbeckians include; TS Eliot, Marcus Garvey, Annie Besant, Ramsay MacDonald and Helen Gwynne-Vaughan.
