Graduates at Merton form part of a dynamic and diverse intellectual community. In addition to excellent facilities, they enjoy many opportunities to interact with one another and established scholars.
Research groups, such as Global Directions, the History of the Book, and the Bio-Medical Sciences Group, provide for intellectual cross-pollination.
The thriving MCR hosts a variety of social events and opportunities for relaxation. Graduates constitute almost one half of the student body; a larger than average proportion for a college which does not confine itself to graduates.
We are strongly committed to the College Adviser system, and to providing ample opportunities for graduates to participate in, and benefit from, college life in general.
A virtual tour of Merton College is available online.
Facilities for students with disabilities
Merton is committed to providing equality of opportunity
