Merton College, Oxford

Merton College is one of the oldest of the 39 colleges (see list) making up the Unversity of Oxford. The Oxbridge (Oxford & Cambridge) system is slightly different from most other universities - students belong to a particular college, where tutorial teaching, meals and accommodation take place; however, university-run departments provide the lectures and examinations which comprise the backbone of any course. Tutors belong to both a college and department, carrying out research when not lecturing or teaching in college.
