Birkbeck University of London clearly states that its mission is to:

1. Provide flexible and part-time courses that will meet the changing educational, cultural, personal, and career needs of students of all ages.
2. Enable students from diverse social and educational backgrounds to join their courses.
3. Make the results of research and the expertise acquired available through teaching, publication, and partnerships with other organisations.
4. Develop excellence in research and provide the highest quality research training in all their fields.

In 1823, Sir George Birkbeck, a great physician and philanthropist, founded the institute as London Mechanics' Institute. In 1866, it changed its name to Birkbeck Literary and Scientific Institution.
