Academic life
Ashley, Media student
"My final year project was definitely a highlight- I created a full social media campaign, built a website, and tied together everything I’d learned over the three years. It’s a full portfolio I can show employers and i’m genuinely proud to put on my CV.”
Malcolm, LLB (Hons) Law
"Roehampton has a great way of preparing you for life in the world of law. We use the mock courtroom for mooting and debate afternoons and evenings; one of our lecturers will play as a judge and we play as council and it's just awesome, as you feel like you're really in court."
Zyad, Business Management and Finance
"My lecturers have been incredibly supportive from day one. They made me feel welcome, encouraged questions, and never made me feel bad if I felt like I didn’t understand something. That really made a difference in my confidence and learning."
“At Roehampton, you’ll find more than just a university; you’ll discover a supportive, inclusive community that will help you thrive academically, socially, and personally. Whether it’s through engaging lectures, late-night study sessions in our state-of-the-art library, or bonding over coffee at one of our campus cafés, there’s always something here to inspire and connect you.”
Imran, President of Roehampton Students’ Union
The campus experience
Frankie
"I felt really comfortable at Roehampton right from the start, I couldn’t picture myself studying anywhere else. I had everything I needed in one place: the course, the support, the environment."
Margaritis
"Roehampton has such a warm and loveable community where everyone feels welcome. Studying here really feels like once in a lifetime opportunity. There's no other place I could picture myself - I've felt like a Londoner since day one!"
Chinenye
“I picked Roehampton because of the environment; it reminded me of home. In Nigeria, we have a lot of green spaces, I love that the campus here is serene, sustainable, and conducive to learning.”
Living on campus
Vinay
"Living on campus is stress-free. You don’t need to worry about landlords, bills, or commuting—everything is included. After living off-campus my first year, moving into university accommodation was the best decision. It was just easier and better overall."
Kazi
"Whitelands accommodation is just a short walk from campus and has everything you need—bus stops, shops, cafés. You’ve got quiet study areas open 24/7 with your card. It’s made my academic life much easier."
Rhaishah
"Living on campus is fantastic since it's close to all amenities. I often study in the library and hang out at the Base for social activities, like meeting up with friends."

Commuting to university
Khaula
"Roehampton has amazing facilities that make my commute less complicated. A well-equipped kitchen with a microwave, sink and fridge, makes a long day on campus more comforatable. Having lockers on campus makes it easy to store my belongings safely."
Zeesham
"With my lessons scheduled across two days a week, I can balance my studies with a flexible part-time job. Roehampton's facilities and support make it easy to manage as a commuting student."
