Birkbeck is London’s only specialist provider of evening higher education. With classes held between 6pm and 9pm, evening teaching allows students to get ahead of other graduates in a highly competitive jobs market by using their days to work, intern or volunteer.
Evening teaching gives people who care about their future something special: the opportunity to study at a world-class, research-intensive university and progress their life goals at the same time. What’s more, you can study at a pace that suits you. In many subjects, you can choose to complete your degree full-time over 3 years, or part-time over 4 or 6 years.
Ranked 21st in the world and 6th in the UK - King’s College London has an outstanding reputation for providing world-class teaching and cutting-edge research.

If you wish to study at a UK university, college and language school then you will need to apply for a visa. Applying for a visa is normally the last hurdle in the admissions process; however it is essential that students start preparing for it immediately, saving stress later in time.
Before preparing your application, you will need a number of different documents (all original copies) to prove who you say you are. These include:
If you are deemed to be in a low-risk country by the Home Office, you might not even need to send in all of the above to obtain your visa. Be sure to have them ready though, just in case. All visa application forms are now available on the Home Office online portal.
The two-year post-study work visa allows Indian students who successfully complete an undergraduate degree in the UK to stay in the country for a further two years after graduation.
The scheme aims to provide greater opportunities to international students who wish to remain in the UK after the successful completion of their degree and, after issuing over 250,000 study visas to international students wishing to study in the UK last year - 13% higher than the preceding 12 months - the UK remains a premier global study destination.
