Want to get into studying or work? Birkbeck, University of London, is running ‘Learning Cafes’ – a five-week course of free study sessions - throughout June.

They will be hosted at New City Road Primary School, Plaistow June 14 to July 12 11am-12 noon and at Rebecca Cheetham Nursery and Children’s Centre, Stratford, June 20 to July 18-2pm.

Friendly spaces where you can try out different subjects to help you find out what really interests you, cafe sessions include looking at how a higher education qualification can help you find a way into their chosen career, as well as an opportunity to find out about the new funding system and how to finance further study.
