4 Reasons to Study at Roehampton
I completed my whole undergrad degree at the University of Roehampton. If you’re considering where to study, here are four reasons why Roehampton could be the perfect choice for you:
1. A Beautiful Campus
One of the things I loved most about Roehampton was the campus itself. It has a traditional university feel, set in stunning parkland that makes it hard to believe you’re still in London. There are so many spots to relax or hang out after lectures. My favourite was The Hive Café, which serves food and drinks made with local and sustainable produce, some of it even grown on campus! There’s also a student bar that hosts events, a gym and sports facilities, and a modern library filled with study spaces, books, and online resources.
2. Societies and Sport
Whether you’re into sports, gaming, or just want to meet people who share your interests, Roehampton has plenty of clubs and societies to choose from. There’s a Disney Society, Scandinavian Society, E-sports Society, and the list goes on. And you can always create your own society or adopt an old one! Joining a team or a society is such a lovely way to make friends, and many of them organise events, trips and socials throughout the year.
3. Support When You Need It
University can be a big adjustment, but Roehampton has a lot of support in place. There are wellbeing officers available during the day and college wardens out of hours, so there’s always someone you can turn to if you need help. The careers team runs workshops, helps with CVs, and connects students with employers through Handshake, their online platform. On top of that, every student is assigned an Academic Guidance Tutor to provide advice and guidance throughout their time at Roehampton.
4. A Wide Range of Courses
Roehampton offers a great mix of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. You’ll find subjects like psychology, dance, and criminology, as well as business-focused degrees such as business management, marketing, and human resource management. Whatever your interests, there’s likely a course that fits.
Final Thoughts
Studying at Roehampton gave me so much more than just a degree, it gave me a community. Between the campus life, the variety of clubs and societies, the strong support systems, and the course options, Roehampton is a place where you can truly feel at home while working towards your future.
