University of Roehampton

UoR holds an outstanding reputation for its teaching and mentorship quality, which forms the backbone of its strength in research, on both a domestic and global level.

In the last Research Excellence Framework assessment, UoR was ranked the most research-intensive modern university in the UK. As a university with such a long and progressive tradition of teaching, UoR is consistently working to improve the educational service and learning opportunities which it provides to its students and staff, and there are a number of measures in place to ensure the exceptional quality of the teaching.

The academic staff work at the cutting edge of their subjects, and their teaching is informed by the very latest knowledge and discourse.

UoR has formed the Learning, Teaching and Quality Group, an internal committee who meet twice per semester and who conduct internal module evaluations to ensure that teaching methods are scrutinised each year, adjusted as required to remain educationally relevant and to suit its students' needs.

The high standard of teaching at UoR, combined with its research focused academic structure makes graduating students extremely employable. 94 per cent of UoR undergraduate students are employed or have moved on to further study within six months of graduation, and they also earn above the national average in their new employment roles.

The university has a year-round career support team who are dedicated to assisting and advising students on their decisions beyond university. The team provides free personal careers assessments, a mentoring program, CV advice and interview training, as well as running workshops and events throughout the year which connect current students with UoR's extensive network of alumni and professional contacts. Many of these connections result in work placements, internships and employment opportunities after graduation.

The university's employment portal, CareerLink, is an online resource available to all current students and graduates which offers as much of the career team's services as possible in an online format, accessible from anywhere in the world.

A degree from UoR is internationally recognised, and considered an asset while applying for industry positions, and the experience of studying at UoR's south London campus gives its graduates the preparation to progress with confidence toward the next stage of their lives.

The university uses the UCAS Tariff as a comparison tool when considering applicants for undergraduate programmes with varying qualifications, which also allows UoR to assess prospective students who are applying with a range of different qualifications.

Entry requirements generally vary on a course-by-course basis, and specific degree programme information may be found on the university website. The university maintains a set of general entrance requirements for all undergraduate courses, which are as follows:

The cost of going to university can be significant, especially in London which is one of the most expensive cities to live. UoR understands this, and offers an extremely wide range of financial support options for new and current students.

There are merit-based scholarships available at undergraduate and postgraduate levels for both UK/EU and international students, whose criteria range from academic excellence to musical or sporting talent. There is now a scholarship which recognises exceptional performance in esports.

These merit-based scholarships range from GBP 1,000 to GBP 4,000 and are applied over the course of three years. There are also discounts for alumni referrals, and for postgraduate students who already hold a degree from UoR.

Beyond this, there is a multitude of other financial support options offered by the university UoR has a Student Hardship Fund for those in difficult financial circumstances and offer free advice and support on personal finances and budgeting for all students.
