The Mary Ward Centre is London’s Adult Education College with a difference. Our central London location makes it easily accessible, and students will enjoy the experience of working in a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian building in the calm surroundings of Queen Square.

Why choose the Mary Ward Centre? 
Courses manage in the daytime, evening, or weekend, meaning you can fit your learning around the rest of your life. The Mary Ward Centre has developed a reputation as a friendly place to learn – this is because as well as getting first-rate teaching, students also receive the support and encouragement they need to help them get the most from their learning. Some of our courses, involving some dance movement classes, take place at our other site near Holborn station – 10 Great Turnstile, WC1V 7JU. All classrooms are equipped with excellent facilities, technology, and tools for each course. Students will be advised if they need to bring any additional materials.

What can you do here?
Courses are taught at all levels, from introductory to advanced, by experienced well-qualified tutors. From Art to Zumba, Archaeology to Ukulele, Computing, and Business to Psychology and Counselling, there is plenty of choices to meet your interests. Many courses lead to a certificate so you can add to your qualifications but there are also lots of occasions to pursue study purely for the pleasure of learning.
