Founded in 1889, Morley is now a London-wide college with centres in North Kensington, Chelsea and Waterloo.

We believe in the positive impact successful learning has in bringing out potential, restoring self-belief and creating new opportunities.

Whether you are joining a study programme for 16 to 19 year olds, achieving a higher education qualification, returning to learn to help you get your next job, or taking a class for the pure joy of it, I encourage you to continue your learning journey at Morley.

Our centres are well-placed to serve the learning needs of Londoners, as well as commuters able to travel easily to the college.

Our flexible learning times — with courses taking place during the day, in the evening and at weekends — means you can fit learning around your life.

As Morley’s team of tutors are experts in their field, they bring the latest academic and industry knowledge to their teaching.

In addition to the learning opportunities in English, maths and digital skills that we provide within our local communities and at each centre, we are a specialist college in the Arts and in Social and Applied Sciences. Each of our centres has a distinctive range of courses, at each level of learning, designed to meet your needs.

Morley also provides an exceptional cultural offer through the extensive range of concerts, lectures, exhibitions and events that we regularly hold, and which are open to all.

Thank you for your interest in studying with us. I look forward to welcoming you to Morley College London.
