Study at Merton
Merton is one of the oldest colleges in Oxford, tucked away behind the High Street, with beautiful buildings and gardens and within easy reach of libraries, labs, water meadows and the city centre. We have a reputation for fostering a vibrant, diverse, inclusive, community with an exceptional record of academic support and success.
Merton admits about 92 students each year to its undergraduate courses creating a very close community feel and strong connections between students in different year groups.
Choosing to study at Merton means:
- A range of 3- and 4- year subjects
- Accommodation for all years of undergraduate courses
- Lots of college activities and events
- Good value food and generous financial support
- A long and rich history
- Renowned academic staff
