Graduate School

The Graduate School was established in 2004 and is the centre of the research student community at Roehampton. All research students belong to the Graduate School in addition to their Academic School.

Welcome from the Dean of the Graduate School

The Graduate School aims to provide support for research students in many ways, but particularly through its Personal Development Programme and Research Methods Training Programme.

The Graduate School provides an opportunity for research students from different disciplines and backgrounds to meet, share ideas and socialise.

This is an exciting time for the Graduate School as our research student body grows and new facilities are made available. The Graduate School currently supports students studying for research degrees through the following means:

  • The production of a Personal Development Plan to help students track their  research career at Roehampton
  • The organisation and facilitation of the Research Methods Training Programme
  • The maintenance of the Graduate School external web pages
  • The creation of an internal portal where research students can communicate with one another through profiles, forums, blogs, notice boards and shared documents
  • The coordination of regular e-mail bulletins advertising research events, seminars and funding opportunities 
  • The provision of a common room, teaching space, dedicated PCs, laptops and lockers for research students
  • The maintenance of a library of past theses both for information and as a research resource
  • The organisation of social events for research students

Above all, the Graduate School provides an opportunity for the views of research students to be heard. Its overseeing body, the Graduate School Board, feeds back research student issues to other key departments within the University including the Library, IT & Media Services, the International Centre, the Student Advice Centre, the Student’s Union and the academic Schools.

The Graduate School was founded to ensure that the needs and expectations of Roehampton’s research students are met; enabling our research student community to make the most of their studies and helping to equip our graduates for a successful future.

Professor Neil Taylor, Dean of the Graduate School, 2008
