I give master classes in children’s literature and attend official occasions, but I also like to stroll round the beautiful campus and chat to the students. They all seem so happy here, and make friends quickly.

The quality and range of our courses are well known, and there’s a serious work ethic amongst our students, but they certainly know how to have fun too. There are many clubs, sporting activities and dances, culminating in our incredible Summer Ball. Our magnificent state-of-the-art library is a great place to hang out, as is the cool Hive Café run by the Students’ Union.

Roehampton prides itself on welcoming students from all over the world. Whether you’re the life and soul of the party or shy and studious, you will feel at home here.

Professor Dame Jacqueline Wilson Chancellor

WelcomeI’m very proud to be the Chancellor at Roehampton. It’s the ideal university: friendly, modern, high-achieving, and forward thinking.

Roehampton is a very special university. We have a proud history stretching back over 175 years and are the only campus based collegiate university in London. Our four Colleges provide a strong sense of community, and our size means you will get to know those that teach you and those you study with.

At Roehampton we pride ourselves on helping all students, regardless of their background, to develop the skills they need for a successful graduate career and fulfilling life.

The student experience is at the heart of everything we do. We work in partnership with students to make sure that every moment at Roehampton matters.

We believe that a university education is not just about getting a great degree, but also broadening your experiences, preparing yourself for the world of work, and making lifelong friendships.

A Roehampton degree is designed to ensure that you graduate with the qualities you need to succeed: confidence, adaptability and the capacity to work with people from all walks of life.

We hope to see you at Roehampton soon.

Our campus

Our campus provides a close-knit community feel for our students

As a student at Roehampton, you will belong to one of our four Colleges. Your College will become your local community. Each College has a thriving social scene and its own sports teams; they help create a healthy sense of competition and College pride.

If you choose to live on campus you will automatically become a student of the College in which your accommodation is based. If you don’t live on campus, you will be allocated to the College associated with your subject.

There are plenty of opportunities for you to stay active through our on-campus gym and sports courts.

Digby Stuart College

College history and ethos

Digby Stuart College owes its existence to the Society of the Sacred Heart, an order of French Sisters who came to England in 1842. The rich history of the Society in the education of women, and the dedication to issues of social justice and equality, now provides Digby College with a common concern for fostering a kind and loving community, where we welcome all students.

Digby Stuart today

Digby is the largest of the four Colleges at Roehampton, and home to four academic departments: English and Creative Writing, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Drama, Theatre and Performance. Digby strives to give everyone a sense of belonging, in a community that cares about individuals.

There is a regular programme of social activities and events to appeal to all tastes, such as the annual lecture and a summer strawberry tea. The chaplaincy base, which organises a lunch every Tuesday, is also located at Digby.

The elected student leaders are an important voice in how business is conducted at the College and help them to be responsive and relevant.

Froebel College


Froebel College is one of the oldest higher education establishments in the UK, having been founded in 1892. The College takes its name from Friedrich Froebel, a German educational pioneer, who encouraged the use of play as an important part of a child’s development.

Froebel today

The focus on education continues to this day, with the School of Education being a major part of the College and a leading centre for Initial Teacher Education. The internationally renowned Department of Dance is also resident at Froebel College, with its superb facilities and modern dance studios. Froebel is also home to the Roehampton Students’ Union, the Union Bar and the Gym.

Froebel has an extensive calendar of social events including a formal Freshers’ Welcome Dinner, the College Winter Dinner, a summer celebration and many other smaller on-campus or off-campus events organised by our student leaders.

Southlands College


Southlands was founded in 1872 to train women to teach in Methodist schools in some of the poorest parts of Britain. The College today builds on its history by encouraging young people to develop strong values and to grow as future leaders for their communities.

Southlands today

Life at Southlands is busy and diverse. There is an exciting annual calendar of events, including termly dinners, a fireworks party, music gala dinner, Southlands Shindig (our summer fête) and College boat party. The large social space is a café during the day and each evening transforms into a cinema and

hub for student-led events. Southlands offers a number of leadership development opportunities, including roles on the College Officer Committee and with the Southlands Venture: a volunteering programme which funds student-led projects in the local community. Their mascot is the Shark and the College sports teams – the ‘Sharks’ and the ‘Sharkettes’ – are a credit to our community, succeeding in sport and also running fundraising and campaigning efforts.

Whether you join by living at Southlands or as a non-resident student of the departments – the Business School and Media, Culture and Language – we very much look forward to welcoming you here.

roehampton.ac.uk/colleges/southlands-college

Whitelands College


Whitelands is the oldest of the four Colleges, founded in 1841 by the Church of England, and was the first institution in England to provide higher education for women.

Whitelands today

The common room at Whitelands, also known as The Sett (the College mascot is a badger) is located on the first floor of Parkstead House. With its glorious views, daytime café facilities and evening bar, it is an ideal setting for socialising at any time of the day, and is the venue for a range of parties and other leisure activities.

The College has an exciting calendar of events throughout the year. In addition to our traditional May Day celebration (running since 1881), we host formal dinners each term, a Christmas fair, carol service and dinner, and Science Week, together with many other smaller social events organised by our student leaders. All are open to resident and non-resident students, and to staff.

FreeLondon

There are many free events to attend throughout the year in London. To name a few, there is Winter Wonderland, Chinese New Year parade, the Boat Race, Pride, Notting Hill Carnival, The Lord Mayor’s show, Lumiere London and Summer by the River!

Sunset at Richmond Hill

Jump on a 493 bus outside campus straight to Richmond, or take a stroll there through Richmond Park. You can spend the day walking along the Thames, maybe stopping along the way at the Hollyhock Fairtrade café, before arriving at Richmond Hill. You will be rewarded with the most mesmerising view of London.

Vauxhall City Farm

Alpaca your bags and jump on a train to Vauxhall City Farm (just 5 stops away). With no entrance fee, you can walk around and introduce yourself to the animals, including Bert and Ernie the donkeys, Ethan the tortoise and of course, Tom and Jerry the alpacas. If you don’t fancy a train journey but need animal company, make friends with Putney and Barnes the campus bunnies, or the lovely Growhampton chickens.

Window shopping

Especially wonderful in the winter: wrap up warm and head to Roehampton, where you can get a 430 bus straight to Harrods. Look at the enchanting window displays outside, before escaping the cold to look at all the luxurious goods they have to offer. If you’ve been there, done that, you can jump on a 72 from outside campus to Westfields, the largest shopping centre in Europe.

Free audience tickets

Don’t be stuck inside watching television, instead, why not be in the audience of your favourite TV shows? For free tickets, visit:

bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/shows

Museums

There are lots of free museums and art galleries throughout London but you only need one bus (the 430 from outside Whitelands College), to take you straight to three of London’s best museums; the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the V&A Museum. Explore stories of historic and scientific discovery, or feast your eyes on the world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design, all for the price of a bus fare.

Volunteer

The vast variety of volunteering opportunities available in London mean you could be handing out medals at marathons one week and taking on the role of sous chef the next. Visit:

volunteerteam.london.gov.uk

or speak to the RSU to find out more about volunteering opportunities.

Studying at Roehampton permits you to choose when you want to dip in and out of the hustle and bustle of the city. On the days where relaxing on campus isn’t for you, the list below can give you a few ideas of how you can experience London inexpensively.

Parents and guardians

Entry requirements

We welcome parents and guardians of students interested in studying at Roehampton to come along and visit us at our Open Days and Offer Holder Days. You will be able to see our lovely campus and take a look at the accommodation available. There is also an opportunity to meet the staff who will ensure that your young person gets the best out of university life both inside and outside of the classroom.

The University uses the UCAS Tariff to compare applicants with different qualifications.

This also allows us to consider applicants who have taken a range of different qualifications. Many programmes have specific entry requirements, which are listed on the individual course pages in this prospectus, as well as on our website so please have a look before you apply.

All offers are subject to the University’s general entrance requirements, which can be found on our website:

roehampton.ac.uk/applying/undergraduate-general-entrance-requirements

To give you an idea of how your grades translate into UCAS points, please see the tables opposite. You can also use the UCAS offer tariff calculator on their website. Please note there are many combinations, and if you are unsure, please feel free to contact us.

International applicants

If you are applying from overseas you may not be familiar with the UCAS tariff entry criteria, or your qualifications may not be listed. More information is available on the UCAS website (www.ucas.com). However, as a guideline our requirements for students with three A levels vary in range from ABB-CCC, but we also accept the IB diploma and a wide range of qualifications from around the world. Please get in touch if you need advice about your individual circumstances and qualifications.

If you require any further advice on our entry requirements, please contact the Enquiries Office at:

Support for students

Accommodation

Living away from home can be a daunting experience at first, but at Roehampton there is a lot of support in place. All students on campus are supported by a Flat Rep, who will live either in their flat or in a nearby one. They are there to ensure that if students have any questions or issues they can help them address them, as well as signpost them to other relevant services in the University.

Academic support

Our extensive support services are one of the reasons that our students thrive. Every student is assigned a dedicated Academic Guidance Tutor who is a member of academic staff in their department. Tutors offer personalised study advice, help choose modules and provide advice on future careers.

We also have a team of Academic Achievement Advisers, who run workshops and 1:1 sessions to help students manage their time, undertake research, write dissertations and learn effective note-taking.

roehampton.ac.uk/student-support/study-support

Chaplaincy

The University of Roehampton is a diverse community, made up of people from all faiths and none, living, studying and working together. To reflect this, we offer a multi-faith chaplaincy with chaplains. We celebrate our diversity and promote peaceful coexistence to all members of the community and beyond.

Each Chaplaincy Centre has a lounge area available to all members of the University, where students can relax away from their academic work and meet up with friends. They can also enjoy chaplaincy hospitality with a mug of Fairtrade tea or coffee, or attend a chaplaincy lunch or film night.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us – see our contact details at the back of this prospectus.

If you are applying from overseas and require specific advice about your qualifications, you can visit the country pages or contact our international team on:

This prospectus was accurate at the time of going to print, December 2018. It is important therefore that you check the University website for updates as some information is subject to change.

The University will endeavour to deliver the course in accordance with the description applied to it in the University’s prospectus and on the website for the academic year in which you begin the course. However, the University will be entitled to make reasonable changes to the course, including to content or syllabus of the course where developments in the subject area make that necessary, or to the location, method of delivery or methods of assessment on the course. In making any such changes, the University will aim to make the minimum changes necessary and will notify and consult with affected students in advance about any changes that are required. If the University changes your course and you are not satisfied with the changes, you will be offered the opportunity to withdraw from the programme and, if required, reasonable support to transfer to another provider.

Further, circumstances beyond the University’s reasonable control may prevent it from delivering the courses as described. Examples of such circumstances could include unanticipated departure of key members of University staff or where numbers recruited to the course are such that it is not possible to deliver an appropriate quality of education for students. In these circumstances, the University will take all reasonable steps to minimise any resultant disruption, by, for example, offering those students the chance to move to another course or institution or by delivering a modified version of the same course, but to the full extent that is possible under the general law, the University excludes liability for any loss and/or damage suffered by any applicant or student as a result of those circumstances.
