Who we are
At Roehampton, we’re committed to supporting each of our students to achieve their potential. From nurses and teachers who impact lives locally, to leaders and policy-makers shaping change globally, we’re here to support each person on their individual journey towards the future they want.
We are a modern, forward-thinking university built on over 180 years of educational heritage. Together with leading industry partners, we create career-focused courses that give students the skills, experience and confidence to stand out in today’s competitive job market.
Our four historic colleges - Whitelands, Southlands, Digby Stuart and Froebel - create a welcoming community where individuality is celebrated. Our campus in southwest London offers the best of both worlds: cutting-edge teaching facilities, specialist industry-standard equipment and one of London’s best university libraries, all just a short journey from central London.
Students sit at the heart of our everything we do. In a rapidly changing world, we adapt to ensure our teaching prepares them for the careers they want. With personalised study support and timetables designed around real lives, our students benefit from excellent contact time while still having the flexibility to take on placements, part-time work, internships or family commitments.
Our research is making a real difference. It informs national policy, supports communities worldwide, champions social justice, and improves health and wellbeing. By working closely with businesses, civic partners and policy-makers, we ensure our discoveries create meaningful, real-world impact. Research sits at the heart of Roehampton, shaping our teaching, inspiring innovation and enriching every student’s learning experience.
