We’ve got lots of courses and plenty of support available to help you make the move from school to college. There’s more choice than you might be used to at school - from business to music and hair and beauty to construction.
We prepare you for working life with practical skills too. You do this by studying in real working conditions like those in our hair and beauty salons, radio and tv recording studios and Sports England standard sports hall. Whatever course you opt for you’ll end up with a qualification to take onto university or work.

Hospitality Supervision & Leadership - Level 3 Diploma
Jerome says: "I chose to study at Merton College because it has excellent facilities for my Hospitality & Catering course. The College is very welcoming and my tutors are very supportive. As part of my course, I deliver a service to customers that visit the Taste Restaurant and I really enjoy interacting with them. We regularly host events and I like working as a team to co-ordinate these events. For example, we are often visited by members of the local community who come to the restaurant for lunch."
Once Jerome has completed his Diploma, he intends to study a Higher Level Apprenticeship in Hospitality and work for a major restaurant chain. His ultimate goal is to own a chain of restaurants one day.
