Milton Keynes College Group was formed in 2021, with the mission of Building Fairer Futures. 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 more than 3,000 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 qualifications, including vocational courses, apprenticeships, T levels, higher education and professional certificates, as well as employability skills and community training.
We are proud to have opened one of the biggest Institutes of Technology in the country. The South Central Institute of Technology (SCIoT) in Bletchley is a consortium of prestigious partners led by Milton Keynes College. Anchor partners include Microsoft, Evidence Talks, Activate Learning, Cranfield University and KPMG. The SCIoT provides higher level technical qualifications, apprenticeships and short courses. We offer a hub of innovation and world-leading technological advancements with relentless dedication to future-proof the lives and skills of learners. At South Central IoT, our learners can be anything ready.
The College is also a national provider of education services in prisons across the country. For nearly 30 years, we have worked with offenders in both custody, the wider community and currently work with 30 prisons across England. This includes 13 prisons which make up the Long Term High Security Estate, 16 category B, C and D prisons and the new HMP Fosse Way.

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.
