Roehampton University is the best for education, it has its own college all for education/childcare services. The lecturers are great at teaching and providing the students with the help thy need to complete assignments and understand the literature.
The union bar is great and sociable, especially when they do events at the weekend. the campus is beautiful with the ponds and wildlife, and it feels like a tighter community as its a campus. the library as well is a really great place to work and has everything you need there. the campus safety could be improved at night, so it's easier for students to walk home after society activities.

Friendly lecturers, teaching is up to the notch. Very clean environment. Woodland is kept in shape, which gives more attention for walk. The university bus running on time. All the stuff are very supportive.
Roehampton University is a great place to study because the lecturers in the university are good are always friendly with the student so that that they could help the student in any area they could, and also they help in teaching the student the basic level of the students understanding
The best aspect is the accessibility. The worst aspect is some student support teams. Can be improved by preparing in advance for student arrivals
First and foremost, students feel welcome because of the diversity and inclusivity overall. The world-class library is an incredible place to study due to the availability of various resources including books and technical resources. Furthermore, there are societies for students to take part in which enhances their holistic growth and development. The study abroad opportunity is also something I genuinely admire. However, I wish we were given more information regarding our fee structure and our course overall. There should have been a better timetable for the students as the classes are not divided well. Also, there would be better heating systems in classrooms and students should not be allowed to smoke just anywhere. Rather, they should have a separate spot for that. Overall, the university is decent and I am having a good time.

They provide a lots of facilities for students they can use for their study. Great location and traveling communication also good. Student support are not too good because of i have trying to get internship from the University but they said go there when i go there other team say go other building it was bad Process than i Forget for my internship. Student life is very good.
There is loads of staff support in every area. The campus has all the facilities you will need, it is very convenient and in a great location. This may be a negative or a positive depending on what you want out of university but Roehampton doesn't have the usual level of student life I expected. I really like it here and am glad I came.
My university, has great facilities to really help support students. I always feel safe in university. The best have to be supported by professors and teachers in anyway possible.
I am studying at the Croydon campus which is very suitable for me. The lectures are very helpful and supportive. I will recommend other students to come there . Since I have so much passion for the course I am doing I am enjoying it.
Amazing campus and supportive teachers
Good student union with events every week but needs more societies that are active + well advertised.
The University of Roehampton is one of the best , most dedicated student support universities.
All staff and lecturers are very friendly and helpful, I personally feel very happy here.
the overall experience with the service that university provides is good for the students especially if they need any academic help the library provides them with a good resource however the university life could be better with more events that all students could attend by asking the students for their opinion on the events or what events interest them using a survey
The university has a really lovely campus that is very pretty and has a lot to do inside it. Something to improve on is to maybe add more facilities to the whitelands campus if possible as the main campus is a lot better than the whitelands campus.
The University of Roehampton is a friendly, modern, lively academic community with a growing international reputation for the high quality of its teaching and research. Our academic teaching staff work is at the cutting edge of their subjects, which means their teaching is based on the very latest knowledge. Unlike many other universities, as a student, I have been taught by research-active academic staff from their first year of study, which means we will study half of the Early Childhood course with staff working with their state-of-the-art knowledge. Our size means that we all get to know our lecturers and fellow students, giving us a personal learning experience. I am proud to be part of Roehampton University's students. Marie Murorunkwere.
Very good facilities with an amazing library. Could be improved by looking at the timetables of students, making it easier for those who have to travel, for example not having one lecture early in the morning then having to wait 3 hrs for the afternoon lecture


It is a really good uni, I thoroughly enjoy my course and the material is very interesting. Assignments are usually very well explained with detailed and helpful guidance. Also their library is very modern with amazing facilities (study rooms, different noise levels on each floor, good IT facilities etc.) My only fault is that they are not very organised, both the lecturers and administration. For example, I myself have experienced several mistakes and errors by the department which have affected me and my learning (timetabling, incorrect exam details, late or incorrect feedback/marks). All issues I have had, have been remedied rather quickly, but most shouldn’t have occurred in the first place.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my course, specifically the interesting content. Most professors are good and explain the information well, with all degrees you learning is relatively dependent on your own research but I have found most lecturers to be very helpful and receptive to questions and concerns. I have also had a very positive experience with the support from my dissertation supervisor. The online learning portal (moodle) makes learning resources very accessible, you can also access recordings of the live lectures if you are unable to attend or want to go over any taught content (however this is dependent on whether you lecturer remembers to record their session).
