WM College, historically known as Working Men\u2019s College (WMC), is the oldest surviving adult education institute in Europe. Founded in 1854 the College was associated with the Cooperative Movement and the Christian Socialists which stem, from the same tradition that later led to the Worker\u2019s Educational Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Working Women\u2019s College, founded 10 years later in 1864, finally merged with WMC in 1967. Early supporters of both have included F D Maurice, John Stuart Mill, Tom Hughes, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Ruskin, Ford Maddox Brown, Walter de la Mare and Octavia Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Originally based in Red Lion Street, we have been in this listed building in Camden Town since 1905. We have continued to develop the tradition of liberal education and today the College serves the whole community. Our community is representative of the London population and our local area and is made up of Adults seeking work who need to achieve formal qualifications, those who wish to learn for personal enjoyment and wellbeing and those who have retired from full time work but who wish to remain active and involved in the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have grown rapidly in recent years but are still small enough to know all our learners and to respond to their individual needs. WM College was designated as a Specialist Designated Institution (SDI) under the 1992 Further Education Act and became one of the nine national Institutes of Adult Learning in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To provide diverse, enriching and enjoyable lifelong learning for adults in Camden and the local area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WM College aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We believe our diversity is one of our strengths. We welcome adults of all ages, religions and sexualities and believe everyone should have access to high quality education. People with learning difficulties and\/or disabilities are supported according to need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
