What is an MCR? – The MCR (Middle Common Room) is the body of postgraduate, mature and fourth-year undergraduate students at Mary’s. The MCR is a completely student-led organisation, and largely, though not exclusively, organises, oversees and looks after the wider student experience & support networks available to Mary’s students.

What is MCR Membership? – Everyone who is a mature member of St Mary’s College has the option to opt-in to MCR membership. What this means is that you can pay a fee which gives you opportunity to access all sports, societies, support networks, formals, large-scale events & much more!
