International students in Birkbeck’s School of Business, Economics and Informatics celebrated the end of term with a trip on the London Eye and our very own One World Festival Christmas party.
As the autumn term of 2019 was brought to a close, Birkbeck’s international students were treated to an array of seasonal events. From the College’s Christmas tree arrival, to this year’s London Eye outing, it’s always important to celebrate a successful start to the academic year. What’s more, with the return of the One World Festival Christmas Party, there was plenty of food and drink to go around!
It was the morning of the 2 December that Paul Munday and Ben Goodrum were on-hand to launch Birkbeck’s string of festive events. This year’s Christmas tree arrival presented students with the chance to decorate Birkbeck’s very own Christmas tree; spreading festive joy to the College’s main reception area. We think the end result was pretty spectacular.
On Friday 6 December, the School of Business, Economics and Informatics took a group of 25 students to ride the London Eye. Taking off at dusk, this year’s trip to above the Thames proved to be as spectacular as ever. With a cohort of international students taking in London’s skyline, the trip was topped-off by a stroll through this year’s Southbank Winter Market.
Last, but not least, this year’s One World Festival Christmas Party was held on Thursday 12 December. Under the warm heating of the 5th floor terrace, students were treated to snacks and wintry delights. La Young Jackson was the acting photographer-in-chief, we’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…
From all of us here at Birkbeck, we hope you had a lovely holiday season and a great start to the New Year!
