A leading college specialising in evening courses is to open a new campus in east London next year.

Birkbeck College, University of London, plans to unveil the five-storey building for more than 3,000 students near Theatre Royal in Stratford in autumn 2013.

Representatives from the central London college told prospective students about their new courses starting in the autumn at Dagenham Library in Heathway last week. For more information, log on to bbk.ac.uk.
