Merton College

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.

Accommodation and meals

Merton usually accommodates graduates for at least two years and many graduates live in College accommodation for the duration of their studies. It may not be possible to accommodate those who are accepted very late in the summer.

Meals are available in College for most of the year, and wherever possible the College will try to meet special dietary requirements.

Funding and prizes

Details of scholarships offered by Merton may be found on the College website and the Oxford Funding Search.

In addition, graduates are well supported with grants for books, research travel and prizes in recognition of achievement

MCR

The Merton Middle Common Room (MCR) is both a physical place and a corporate community. Members include graduate students, fourth-year undergraduates, and associate members.

The MCR is a diverse collection of scholars, representing a range of nationalities, interests and experiences.
