University of Roehampton

Roehampton does something that most universities cannot: it gives students a campus that actually feels like a retreat. Woodland walks, a lake, and modern teaching buildings.

The university is recognised for its research quality and position in university tables.

The Student Futures team at Roehampton handles careers support for both current students and graduates. Students get one-to-one career appointments, CV reviews, mock interview practice, and access to the Roehampton Internship Scheme, which offers paid work experience both on and off campus.

The LaunchPad programme supports students who want to start their businesses or go freelance, with workshops, mentoring, and funding available. A placement year launched in September 2025 gives students on eligible courses a full year of industry experience. After graduation, students retain access to Handshake and can continue using career resources as long as needed.

A room is guaranteed in halls like Elm Grove or Chadwick for students. Options are en-suite or standard rooms, as well as off-campus options nearby.

Student support at Roehampton runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which is not something every university can say. The college system means students also have a wellbeing officer, affiliated with their own college, offers support that feels more personal from the outset.
