The College Group includes 1,200 colleagues who work across MK College, the South Central Institute of Technology (SCIoT) Bletchley, our prison education services in 30 prisons and MK Commercial which comprises The Brasserie restaurant, Sport Central, Courtside, and the Chaffron Centre.
At MK College, our colleagues support approximately 4,000 16-19 year olds currently studying with us and a total student population of over 8,000. Founded in 1982, MK College offers a broad variety of programmes, including Study Programmes, Adult, High Needs, Apprenticeships, T levels, A Levels, and Higher Education.
We are proud to have opened one of the biggest Institutes of Technology in the country.

We offer a hub of innovation and world-leading technological advancements with relentless dedication to future-proof the lives and skills of learners.

We want all our colleagues, students and learners to feel they are an integral part of the College Group and together we will create an inclusive culture where everyone can contribute to College life and our collective knowledge and growth.
We know that education has the power to build fairer futures for all, and we know that we can’t create real change on our own. That’s why we work with key stakeholders across our communities - civic partners, employers, educational providers and third-party organisations to offer the best opportunities for our students to be the best they can be.
