About Working Men's College
Working Men's College's background
Working Men's College (WMC), the oldest surviving adult education institute in Europe,
was founded in 1854 and was associated with the Cooperative Movement and the
Christian Socialists, stemming, from the same tradition that led later to the Worker's
Educational Association. The Working Women's 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. 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, with women, unemployed and refugee students forming the majority of the
student body. We have grown rapidly in recent years but are still small enough to know
all our students and to respond to their individual needs. WMC was designated as a
Specialist Designated Institution (SDI) under the 1992 Further Education Act.
Mission
To be a learner-centred college dedicated to widening access to education for all, that
will provide opportunities for lifelong learning and improving employment prospects, for
the diverse range of London adults who may not be able to study full time, particularly
local people who have missed out on their initial education.
Objectives
Working Men’s College aims to:

Provide an outstanding education for adults, in which all learners can achieve
their personal, educational and training goals and maximise their potential

Provide an inclusive learning environment with all the support necessary to
promote equality and diversity, freedom of expression and social
responsibility

Meet the needs of the local communities with programmes which promote
community cohesion and address the problems of disadvantage and
deprivation; especially by providing opportunities for local residents to
improve their language, literacy and numeracy skills

Work in partnership with the London Borough of Camden, other colleges and
providers, local voluntary organisations, funding bodies and others who share
our goals

Work with local employers to meet the demands of a skills-based economy,
and with local people to ensure they can get the skills needed to get local
jobs

Celebrate its unique history and engage positively with the past, while finding
new ways to pursue its founders’ aims into the 21st century.
