FAQ's

What is a Students' Union?

Students’ Unions are separate to universities and are led by students for students. They exist to represent your needs and interests whilst you are studying. They provide lots of opportunities, activities and events to improve your time at your university.

How do I become a member of the Students' Union?

You are automatically a member of the Students' Union as soon as you enroll at Birkbeck - which means, there is nothing for you to do and you can get involved straight away!

Is the Welcome Fortnight only for first year students?

No! Any Birkbeck student can attend our Welcome events.

How do I book tickets to your events?

We are working with Native for our events platform!

How do I join a Club or Society?

Have a look at our active societies here — and if you're keen to revive or start a new society, we'd love to hear from you!

Help, I have a problem!
