Youth Studies degrees in South East England

It is a lovely place to work with. Lecturers are friendly, knowledgeable and very approachable and simulations are really participative as it gives you hands on experience and actual scenarios that build your confidence next time you experience it in real life.

One of the best parts of studying at Roehampton University is the friendly and supportive environment. The lecturers explain topics clearly and are always willing to help when students have questions. The campus is peaceful, with good facilities like the library, study rooms, and social spaces, which makes it a comfortable place to learn. I also enjoy meeting classmates from different countries and backgrounds because it helps me learn new ideas and understand different cultures. The teaching style at Roehampton makes learning easier and more enjoyable. Seminars and group activities help me understand the lessons better, and the coursework is practical, helping me connect what I learn to real-life situations. I feel that the university encourages students to think independently and build confidence. Overall, I feel supported in my studies, and this has helped me grow both academically and personally. Even though my experience has been positive, there are some areas that could improve. Sometimes the workload feels heavy, especially when deadlines are close together. Communication about certain tasks or readings can be unclear at times. More career support, part-time job opportunities, and more flexible timetables would also make things easier for students. However, these challenges are common in most universities, and Roehampton still offers a good overall student experience.

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

Pros- the library and group study booths, en suite accommodation, extra sessions to help employability/ seeing what career path is good, some lecturers are lovely and you can talk to them about lots Cons- accommodation not great at sorting out issues with other flatmates, law society is completely dead, some lecturers are dead boring, timetables are always released last minute, SU shop is expensive considering it’s literally there for students

i love the facilities at this uni, the library and the teaching is great. there are many places for all types of students ,quiet or not, to go and the nightlife in the city is prety decent. it is quite affordable compared to other universitys close by. the societies are fantastic aswell. the university could improve on certain teaching aspects in the first year to ease us into how very independant it all is

I was in the Bedford campus and the student life was limited. This was because many people travelled into uni from their homes. The student union was great at providing activities in the afternoons/ evenings. They also support students. all you have to do is email them or go to social events.

The worse aspects is to do with the cost. The food and drinks on campus are so expensive, for example a meal deal is between £6-7 so most of us go to co op to get a meal deal for £4 which is usually better quality. As well as this, this uni pushes supporting mental well being but the gym isn’t free for students when it used to be in previous years. It’s a lovely uni that does promote the student but in the same respect isn’t student friendly.
