St. Mary's College Program Overview

Established in 1850, St. Mary’s is an established University College with a reputation for high quality courses. St Mary’s is modern and friendly, offering the best of both worlds. With just under 4,000 students it’s easy to feel at home quickly, but big enough to offer all the challenges and excitement of a full and rewarding student life.

The buildings are steeped in history being set in the grounds of the original Strawberry Hill mansion, a world famous example of the Gothic Revival style. The peaceful, self-contained campus also includes modern and well-resourced teaching blocks, accommodation, Learning Resources Centre and sport facilities.
The university is located in a leafy part of South West London where a green space is never very far away and Central London is only 30 minutes by train.
