Student Accommodation University of Roehampton

All four colleges were created to address the need to educate poor and disadvantaged children. In 1975, the four colleges teamed up to form the Roehampton Institute of Higher Education.

Roehampton was formerly an equal partner in the now-dissolved Federal University of Surrey, along with the original University of Surrey in Guildford. Since August 2004, the University of Surrey Roehampton became Roehampton University, and in 2011, the university was branded University of Roehampton.

The University has a range of specialist facilities for use in teaching and research, including the biomechanics, physiology and sport and exercise psychology laboratories. It also opened a new £35 million library in 2017, featuring more than 350,000 books, as well as a collection of e-books and electronic journals.

Roehampton’s reputation largely lies in research, with 66% of the university’s research submissions being classed as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ in the Research Excellence Framework by Hefce (Higher Education Funding Council for England).

At this time, Dance was the top performing subject, with 94% of research rated 4* and 3* - making it the highest-rated department in its subject area in the UK. Roehampton was also ranked third in London for research quality in education, and fourth for English.
