Merton College

Merton College has recently merged with South Thames College, another thriving college in South West London. We continue to offer our full range of courses and services in Merton based at our London Road site. 

We teach a wide range of courses at different levels, to people from many different backgrounds and of all ages. For example, we offer courses from basic English, IT and numeracy through to programmes that will equip you for entry to University or give you advanced vocational skills.

Many of our students are aged 16-19 but we also have a substantial number of mature learners. We have equal numbers of male and female students and a wide representation of ethnic backgrounds. Both students and our staff contribute to a rich culture and positive atmosphere at the College.

What our students have in common is the desire to learn and succeed. Whoever you are, we give you the opportunity to do this in a College environment that is welcoming, supportive and safe. All our full-time students have a personal tutor, for example, who will guide you through your time here. There is a range of services to support you while you are here, and students can drop in to our Advice Centre to find out anything related to their course and life at the College.

We are proud of our mix of students and the success they achieve. Most students express a high level of satisfaction when they finish their course, and many go on to Higher Education or into a rewarding job.
