The university itself offers a wonderful student experience with a wide variety of societies, events, and a supportive union that truly enhances life on campus. The free Roehampton bus that regularly circulates the campus, as well as connecting to key train stations, makes getting around really convenient - another great feature that adds to the overall positive experience at the university. The campus is beautiful, particularly the lakes and the stunning architecture of Froebel College. In a city like London, which is so busy and packed, it’s unexpected to find such a serene and calm environment. The university provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing students to focus on their studies while enjoying the tranquility of the campus. I’ve really appreciated having such a tranquil space to grow both academically and personally.

I am absolutely thrilled with my experience at Roehampton and the Primary Education BA (QTS) course. The course is amazing, resourceful, and led by knowledgeable minds. I feel content and at ease knowing that I’ve been trained by such leaders, and I’m confident I can go forward and make a real impact in children’s lives with ease. The professors and seminar leaders are always ready to help and support you in your development. They are incredibly understanding and ensure every student is on track, paying close attention to each individual’s needs. The course covers a wide range of essential topics, including educational research, theories, practices, personal lives as we progress in our careers, and includes valuable trips and visits to enhance our learning experience. We are also provided with the opportunity to choose a specialisation field in Year 2, which really sets us apart from our peers who have studied elsewhere. The QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) through placement has meant I have gained sufficient practice and feel comfortable moving forward into my NQT (Newly Qualified Teacher) years independently – I know I will never be alone in my journey. I truly believe that I am getting my money’s worth with this course. The level of support, expertise, and resources provided is exceptional, and it’s clear that the university is dedicated to ensuring we succeed both academically and professionally. My CV will definitely look great with all the opportunities provided, and I’m really happy that they’re helping us move forward on a stable footing. Although the course has equipped us to go out into the world independently, they’ve made it clear that they’re always there for support in the future, which is very reassuring.

Wonderful architecture and serene and closed off campus despite being in London.

The only bad thing is that the timetable system is not very good I was a late starter and still I cannot use the mobile app to check in for my lectures because my timetable still doesn’t show

Overall the course has been great so far
