Student feedback

These are some of the comments we have received from students studying with us:
“I was accepted on the BSC in Actuarial Sciences at CASS (City University)”
“I applied to Nottingham University to do Computing and Artificial Intelligence and now start my Degree this October”
I am now studying Engineering with Management and Entrepreneurship at City University London.
I got an offer from City and Queen Mary (for a Science Engineering degree),
“I got five offers and met them all. I am currently studying MEng Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Birmingham”.
“I deeply regret with the time I spent at different colleges before Birkbeck. I went to Kingston University after gaining my Certificate and am now studying for a BEng (Hons) in Aerospace Engineering, Astronautics and Space Technology and Aeronautic Engineering”.
“I’m now a full time student at the University of Hertfordshire studying Aerospace Engineering. I had so many offers when I applied for Engineering courses, thanks to the course I did at Birkbeck”.
“I am currently studying MEng Material Science and Engineering at the University of Birmingham”.
“The subjects I learned in Physics and Mathematics at Birkbeck were really helpful and it contributed to build the background for what I am learning right now - Petroleum Engineering and I'm having good progress so far. I am really enjoying the degree”.
“Birkbeck also helped me acclimatise to sustained academic pressure, with regular deadlines for coursework as well as with the need to prepare for exams and write essays. All these elements have been invaluable in preparing me for my current full time course”.
