Birkbeck, University of London

Birkbeck, University of London (formally, the University of London, Birkbeck College; informally, Birkbeck) is a public research university located in Bloomsbury, London, England and a constituent college of the federal University of London. Established in 1823 as the London Mechanics’ Institute by its founder, Sir George Birkbeck,[5] and its supporters, Jeremy Bentham,[6] J. C. Hobhouse[7] and Henry Brougham,[8] Birkbeck has been one of the few institutions to specialise in evening higher education.

It was established as an institution to allow working-class people to get access to higher education by teaching in the evening so they could work during the day. It was named after its founder Sir George Birkbeck.[9][10][11][12][13] In contrast to similar universities at the time which had religious connections or were part-time establishments with low academic standards and few facilities (such as those at Oxford), Birkbeck was deliberately founded as full-time secular institution with high academic standards.[14]

The first two students enrolled were Joseph Farringdon and Edward Wright who both graduated from their medical courses in 1833.[15] The first female student was Matilda Waring who studied chemistry for three years before marrying William Lawes FRS.[16][17][18] It was not until after World War II that women were allowed full-time admission.[19
