400-year-old Jesuit college in London will close

June 26, 2015

Heythorp College, a 400-year-old Jesuit institution in London, will close in 2018, administrators have announced.

Heythorp College specialized in philosophy and theology, and provided advanced training for generations of Jesuits. But in the face of a financial crisis, administrators announced last year that they would not admit new students and were exploring a merger with St. Mary’s University. When the merger talks stalled, the decision to close Heythorp College was finalized.
