The University of Roehampton’s Undergraduate Taster Day on Saturday, 22 February, offered prospective students an exciting glimpse into life at Roehampton.
Visitors were warmly welcomed by student ambassadors and staff helpers before attending an inspiring welcome talk by Professor Marilyn Holness, OBE, Dean of Students and Head of Digby Stuart College, a passionate advocate for student success with extensive experience in higher education. A lively panel discussion, led by Roehampton Students’ Union (RSU), saw current students and alumni share their insights and experiences.
Throughout the day, attendees immersed themselves in a variety of activities, from taster lectures across diverse subjects to campus tours and one-on-one sessions with staff at the student support fair. Newly introduced common room activities, including a College quiz hosted by the RSU, a mascot scavenger hunt, and a lively College sorting ceremony, added a fun and interactive touch to the event.
Prospective students also received the latest undergraduate prospectus, providing them with valuable insights into their future studies. With a fantastic turnout, engaging sessions, and a buzzing atmosphere, the event was a true celebration of the Roehampton community. Attendees also enjoyed complimentary crepes and fish and chips from lively food trucks, making the day both informative and memorable.
A huge thank you to all the student ambassadors, staff, and volunteers who helped make the event such a success! Our next events are the UG Taster Day on Wednesday, 9 April 2025 (9am - 3pm) and the PG Open Day on Saturday, 10 May 2025 (9am - 2pm). Find out more on our Open days page.
