University of Roehampton London - London

Sushil K.

Roehampton University, located in southwest London, is a public university known for its strong emphasis on liberal arts, humanities, and social sciences. Established in 2004, it has roots dating back to the 19th century, when its four constituent colleges—Digby Stuart, Froebel, Southlands, and Whitelands—were founded as teacher training institutions. These colleges continue to influence the university's ethos, fostering a close-knit, community-oriented environment.

The university's campus is set on a picturesque 54-acre site near Richmond Park, offering a blend of historic buildings and modern facilities. Roehampton is renowned for its research excellence, particularly in areas such as education, literature, psychology, and the arts. It is also recognized for its commitment to social justice and inclusivity, with a diverse student body representing over 140 nationalities.

Roehampton offers a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs across its five academic departments: Arts and Humanities, Business and Law, Education, Life and Health Sciences, and Psychology. The university places a strong emphasis on employability, providing students with opportunities for work placements, internships, and collaborations with industry partners.

Student life at Roehampton is vibrant, with numerous clubs, societies, and sports teams. The university also boasts excellent support services, including academic guidance, career advice, and mental health resources. Its location offers the best of both worlds—a peaceful, green campus with easy access to central London's cultural and professional opportunities.

Roehampton University is a dynamic institution that combines academic rigor with a supportive and inclusive community, making it an attractive choice for students from around the world.

Roehampton wasn’t my choice as a university. It was the preferred supplier of my training provider for my level 7 senior leadership apprenticeship. The service is absolutely abysmal. In my second year they took our access away for reviewing journals and publications meaning I had to pay for journals. Next they sent graduation emails out last minute for January providing just a months notice for what would have cost £300. Finally, and the prompt to leave such a negative review, I have been waiting for my transcript and qualification certificate since November. Emails and calls to the registry go unacknowledged and NEVER replied to. I have attempted to complete a ticket to request this but have no access to the form to do so. I am now at a different university who need my certificate and my place on module top ups to masters is now being questioned. I work in higher education and quite frankly wonder if my time and effort with Roehampton was really worth it as the support has been lacklustre and unprofessional at best. Awarding it 1 star was generous.

Teaching staff is amazing, great lessons good debates. Intellectually stimulating professionals, and I would say a reasonable level of support to students.
The university structure though is very poor. Toilets are awful. It is either too cold during winter or too hot during summer.
Food wise, if you are not Asian and/or love curry be prepared to end up like me, bringing pack lunch and dinner from home.

Good luck!

Really happy to see nicely built prayers area allocated for Muslims prayers followed by ablution area and bidet installed commode.

Both genders prayer rooms can be found in Digby Stuart College, Froebels College, Southlands College (Queens Building) and Whitelands College and can be easily accessed via student iD card.

One of best parkland Campus I have ever seen. It’s been 3 years I am studying at University of Roehampton and loved to be there more and more not only for study but also to relax or refresh mind.
The modern Library and natural extraordinary campus fascinate me every time.

I am very disappointed with the University’s handling of my refund request. It has been over 6 months since I applied for my refund, but I still haven’t received my money. Despite providing all the required documents and following up multiple times, there has been no proper update or resolution.

This delay has caused a lot of stress, especially since I explained my urgent financial situation. The lack of communication and accountability is unacceptable. I would not recommend this University to anyone based on my experience.

Dear Sir,
I hope this email finds you well, can you please tell me when can i expect my refund?
I couldn’t get enrol on time as my Visa Arrived on 22nd October 2024 and i reached UK on 24th October 2024. I came to university for enrolment on 25th October 2024, the very last day.

The finance team said that they can’t enrol me as my online enrolment is not complete yet and your website had issues with it. So i had to leave the country and its been over 5 months now and no response from your side

If I’m not getting any response within a week and my money back, I’ll be taking legal action against Roehampton University and will also include the mental trauma and depression you as the university has made me suffer. I’ll also be reaching out to human rights.

I need to apply for my further Studies. Below is the reference ID.
