Westminster College was a teacher training college and college of higher education in England. The college was founded in London in 1851 as a training institute for teachers for Methodist schools, but moved to Oxford in 1959. Before the move, it was part of the London Institute for Education. From 1959 to 1981, its qualifications were awarded by Oxford University. From 1981 to 1992, its qualifications were awarded by the CNAA. From 1993 to 2000, its courses were validated by the Oxford University again. In 2000, financial pressures caused the college to close.
