Description

Specialties

Roehampton is a small, friendly, collegiate community where students can live, learn and socialise together on a beautiful and historic campus in southwest London. We offer a range of excellent facilities as well as easy access to the world-​class museums, libraries and galleries of one of the most exciting and successful cities in the world.

Roehampton is also one of the newest universities in the UK, having been established in 2004. At the same time, through our four Colleges which have come together to found the University, we have a proud and distinguished history dating back to the 1840s, particularly in the field of Childhood Studies and Education. Our Colleges were also among the first colleges of higher education in the country to admit women. That tradition of commitment to equality continues to be part of the University’s Vision and to the ethos of Roehampton, which has one of the most diverse communities of students in the UK.

I wouldn’t pay a good £9,000 to come here.
Bad support systems. Staff members like to sit on their lard assess quite often.
Beautiful campus, great night-​life
But academically? I wouldn’t do it again ;)

I absolutely loved my time at Roehampton. I lived on campus at Froebel college and it times it felt as if I was living in a Jane Austen novel due to the beautiful main house and lake. I studied for a PGCE at Roehampton and felt that the quality of teaching was very good and prepared me well for my career in teaching.

While it is filled with students during the week, the university campus is a very scenic place, and has one of the highest goose counts among U.K. universities. Popular for families to visit during the weekend, the older buildings give it a nice Victorian feel.

Roehampton University is based in South West London, surrounded by Putney, Richmond and Wimbledon. To be fair, Roehampton is a total dump there’s no getting past it, but the surrounding area makes it worthwhile.
What I love about the location is the fact that it’s a London University, it’s in zone 3 and if you want to get into central you just have to hop onto a bus or tube and you’re there quickly. However, you’re just enough out of the hustle and bustle with places like Richmond Park on your doorstep.
The university itself has a great campus. Froebel is the gem with its beautiful manor house and lake and is the base for teacher training and education, Whitelands is the sports college and Digby Stuart and Southlands are for those who study humanities. Though I do English Language and Linguistics I chose to be a Froebel student. There’s something about the atmosphere at Froebel that you don’t get anywhere else– everyone knows each other and it feels like one big family!
The nightlife is great with something happening every day of the week whether it’s a big themed night out at Fez Club or the Bop or just a quiz at one of the bars.
Sports teams play a big part of life with men and women’s football and rugby, tennis, rowing, lacrosse and ultimate frizbee to name but a few! I’d definitely recommend getting involved because you’ve got 20 friends instantly!
If you’re in the process of choosing a university give it a look– you get the fun of London and the beauty of Surrey all tied up in one neat little package.
