Birkbeck Stratford Explained

Birkbeck Stratford is the name for a project to expand the provision of part-time Higher Education in east London, made by Birkbeck, University of London in conjunction with the University of East London. The project was part-financed by a £5 million grant from the Higher Education Funding Council for England^[1] and the collaboration was formally launched on November 21, 2006.^[2]

Initially, space was rented as well as utilising the University of East London Stratford Campus, but the long-term goal of constructing a dedicated facility in Stratford was realised when the new campus officially opened in November 2013.^[3]
