Please Note

The information on this website is a general guide to the courses and services offered by South Thames College at its various locations in Wandsworth and Merton.

To the best of our knowledge, its contents and statements were fair, accurate and current at publication. We cannot guarantee that there are no errors or omissions.

We may make changes at any time and without notice.

We operate in a context of public regulation. The College regularly reviews its courses, services and policies with reference to public regulation and to its duty to manage public funds efficiently. Our courses, services and policies can change at any time consequent to changes in external policies and regulations.

On occasion it is necessary to move, alter or withdraw courses. The College cannot therefore guarantee the provision of all courses as detailed on this website. All courses run subject to demand.

When a course is cancelled, or is amended in any way from that advertised so that enrolled students are no longer able to attend, the College will do what it can to transfer enrolled students to an alternative course if one exists that is appropriate and available.

Fees may change at short notice due to circumstances beyond our control. The fees payable are those in force at the time of enrolment, which supersede any that may previously have been advertised.

As appropriate and reasonable, we will try to inform all affected persons of substantive changes in information.

The content of this website, or of external pages to which there are links, relating to matters and organisations outside the College is for general information only and does not constitute any recommendation or warranty.

Inside View

Olivia Pelling, Musical Instrument Making

“I chose the Musical Instrument programme because it was very hands on and I wanted a programme where I was going to actually make instruments in addition to studying the theories. I was able to make 3 instruments, learn many repairs including bow care; learn about acoustics and also business management. The course enabled me to become what I am now, a luthier. Since I finished the course, I immediately went and did an apprenticeship in a violin workshop and following that, have now have opened my own business, which is doing well.”
