About the college
The thriving Middle Common Room (MCR) hosts a variety of social events and opportunities for rest and relaxation. Graduates comprise about half of the total student body.
Merton College is strongly committed to the College Adviser system, and to providing ample opportunities for graduates to participate in, and benefit from, college life in general.
Research groups, such as the History of the Book and the Biomedical & Life Sciences Group provide exciting spaces for intellectual cross-pollination. Less formal conversations around College—perhaps over dinner or during a sports match—also offer graduate students unique opportunities to grow intellectually.
