University of Roehampton

The University of Roehampton has a proud and extensive history in higher education stretching back 175 years through our four Colleges. Our ethos derives from this rich collegiate history, built on community, engagement and partnership. Our Colleges were also among the first colleges of higher education in the country to admit women. Our rich collegiate history provides the foundations of our ethos today, which is built on community and partnership. We pride ourselves on the guarantee we make to all of our students: high levels of contact time with excellent teachers and researchers working at the cutting edge of their subject areas.

The University of Roehampton has the most beautiful campus in London. Our campus provides a close-knit community feel. We have modern, cutting edge facilities and a vibrant social scene. Best of all, our green, parkland campus is in the heart of south-west London, within easy reach of Putney and Hammersmith. It's offers the best of both worlds. Studying at a campus university provides a sense of community for our students, who also become a member of one of our four Colleges, through which we provide extensive advice and support and a wide range of social activities.

Our academic teaching staff work are at the cutting edge of their subjects, which means their teaching is based on the very latest knowledge. Unlike many other universities, all of our students are taught by leading professors from their first year of study. Our size means that you'll get to know your lecturers and fellow students, giving you a more personal learning experience. The University of Roehampton achieved 86% for overall student satisfaction in the 2014 National Student Survey, with 87% of our students satisfied with their teaching. Our employment rates afterwards are testament to the quality of education we provide: the most recent DLHE survey of the employment of our graduates showed 92% in work or further study within six months of gaining their degrees.

Roehampton has an excellent research profile: we are the most research-intensive modern university in the country. We have some of the most highly regarded academic departments in the UK, with two-thirds of our research judged either 'world leading' or 'internationally excellent' in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework survey of research quality. Our students, whether at undergraduate or postgraduate level, benefit from studying with top professors from their first year of study.
