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.
Roehampton University is a lovely place to study because there are good facilities which are widely accessible. The student support is excellent and the Nest Team in the Library are always very helpful and attentive and can sort out queries efficiently. I love the campus and the fact that there are good nearby transport links from bus stops and mainly from Barnes Station, which makes my commute to and from university really easy. I feel that my university can be improved in certain ways to do with food and drink options. Whilst there is a very good wide variety, I feel some food and drink places at the university could possibly have more options. For example, the library cafe and Digby Diner could have more food options for more variety
Great university for those interested in life sciences. Provides excellent student support , supportive lecturers. Academic/library info and support to improve your studies and grades. I chose roehampton for many reasons and I’m glad I did
Roehampton is a great place to study with a beautiful campus and supportive lecturers who are passionate about their subjects. I really enjoy going there everyday. The disability services are amazing and provide good support for autistic students.
Student events can be pretty good most of the time but engagement is inconsistent and some events are so random and irrelevant. Worst aspect of uni experience is getting admin issues resolved. Sometimes you have to wait a really long time and others you may not get even a response.
Central London is easily accessible by train but is far enough out that it doesn't feel like you are in London.
Best is everything from student life to academic support. The atmosphere is really exciting for a first year student. Nothing bad; I would only mention it would be great to have an underground station closer so as to move downtown a bit faster, and may be sport facilities could be updated with tennis and padel courts.
The staff have been amazing, making me and my colleagues feel welcomed right away. I felt at home during the open days, way before commencing my studies in September. The lecturers have been very supportive and understanding throughout. The University surroundings are amazing even though I don't get enough time to appreciate the natural beauty around. Thank you
It has a supportive environment with a variety of societies to join and it's very diverse, so you can always find your community or start one at Roehampton. In addition the campus is absolutely beautiful, there are so many hidden gems and Grove House has so much character. There is always something for everyone here. The lecturers are very supportive, dedicated and experienced which is evident through their teaching.
Everything is excellent.
My experience as a Clinical Psychology and Mental Health student at the University of Roehampton has been exceptional. The program is well-structured, combining theoretical knowledge with practical application, which has been invaluable for my development. The lecturers are passionate, supportive, and bring a wealth of real-world experience to their teaching, making the learning process engaging and insightful. The campus itself is beautiful, with a friendly and inclusive community that fosters personal growth and collaboration. I’ve particularly appreciated the access to mental health resources and the university’s commitment to student well-being. The course has equipped me with a strong foundation for my career aspirations in psychology, and I feel confident in pursuing further opportunities thanks to the skills and knowledge I’ve gained. I highly recommend the University of Roehampton for anyone looking to study Clinical Psychology and Mental Health in an enriching and supportive environment.
I couldn’t be happier with my university experience so far. One of the standout features is how incredibly organised everything is. From the start, there’s a clear structure in place, making it easy to navigate both academic and administrative aspects. A particular highlight is how our attendance is closely monitored. It not only ensures accountability but also keeps us engaged and motivated. The professors and lecturers are another reason I love this university—they’re kind, approachable, and genuinely invested in our success. While they are somewhat strict, it’s always in a way that benefits us. They foster a focused learning environment where distractions, like chatting, are minimized. It’s clear they want to ensure we’re getting the absolute most out of our education, which is so important when you’ve invested in your degree. The level of support offered here is exceptional, especially when it comes to assessments. Whether it’s through guidance, feedback, or just listening to our concerns, the staff truly care about our progress. They’re also open to feedback from students, which is a great reflection of how much they value continuous improvement. Overall, this university strikes the perfect balance between academic rigor and genuine care for its students. It’s a place where you can feel confident that your hard work and investment will pay off.
Roehampton University is a good place to study. All the lecturers are very supportive.
