University Square


New Developments at UEL


University Square, to be located in the heart of Stratford, is a unique collaboration between Birkbeck, University of London and the University of East London.


Our joint vision is to create a major new university hub which will meet the growing aspirations of local people in the heart of east London. Students will be able to study in order to reskill and upskill, to enhance their employment possibilities. It will provide education facilities not only for Birkbeck and UEL, but also our partner institutions and organisations.


Building began in July 2011 and is scheduled for completion in summer 2013. University Square will open for its first cohort of students that autumn.
