Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at University of Roehampton

MBA

UNIVERSITY OF ROEHAMPTON

Harshita - February 2024




My experience as a student at the University of Roehampton has been really enlightening. The campus, which is tucked away in a beautiful area of London, offers the ideal balance of contemporary amenities and green areas to make learning a genuinely pleasurable experience.

I've found the university's dedication to providing customised help to be one of the most notable aspects. I saw right once that there was a sincere commitment to the welfare of the students, and that help was readily available whenever required. There's a strong sense of community here, and the various clubs and organisations on campus add to the lively school atmosphere.

MBA

UNIVERSITY OF ROEHAMPTON

Amrutha - February 2024

The University of Roehampton in southwest London is an excellent academic institution that offers top-notch college facilities, a great location, and comprehensive student support. The 54-acre parkland campus boasts modern facilities, including state-of-the-art libraries and technologically advanced classrooms for interactive learning. The university's well-connected transport links ensure easy travel to and from the campus, making it convenient for students to access everything London has to offer. The university also provides various support services, including academic and career counseling, and has highly knowledgeable and supportive faculty members. Although there is room for improvement in student life and the student union, I enthusiastically recommend Roehampton to aspiring learners looking for a transformative and fulfilling educational journey. read full review
Best aspects:
Being able to take part in student panels for screening new members of teaching staff, being able to have a real voice at the table and my insights being valued has been an amazing experience.

The plethora of resources available for studying is incredible, having so much access to so many journals has provided me with an wealth of knowledge I've never had access to before.

The subject administrators do an amazing job of reassuring students and directing us to who or what we may need and provide a lot of calm.

The study tools and guidance are thorough, as is being able to access my lecture recordings online as a distance student, allowing me to go over materials as often as I need through the videos, not just the PowerPoint.

The adjustments that can be made for students with a disability, especially for mental health, it makes pursuing higher education as a mature student a refreshing change of pace compared to 10+ years ago where support was lacking at best.

I can speak up at Roehampton, there's an ease in being able to have important, challenging, and reflective conversations with lecturers, they teach in a manner that provides you with a lot of room to make thoughtful and original considerations to your assignments, I've been progressively taught how to think, not what to think, and it's open to evolving, there's an openness to knowing that all isn't known right now, and that we are layering our own and future learning and understanding.

Worst bits, things that need to be improved & how:

The admin side in terms of finance and enrolment is really challenging especially when things don't go right, it's a really time consuming and impractical experience as a distance learning student who relies on emails and the phonelines to get in touch, and the really friendly and committed staff end up taking the brunt of students frustration.

Having my paperwork wrongly processed when interrupting for a year as a withdrawal from the course was pretty stressful to resolve

How to improve:

A larger pool of staff and a streamlined, updated administrative system that connects all departments could hopefully improve inter-departmental communication, and provide greater transparency between said departments and students alike. read full review
The best aspect about the Roehampton university is the location!! Love the clean green vibe! The staff is accomodating and friendly. Overall student experience is very enjoyable. The studies for masters are competant and lectures are very interactive.

I had long issues with enrolment for which support was inadequate. The conversion course is fast paced, so preparation is key, as is discipline. The teaching staff are supportive, however and there are lots of resources available to access read full review

PGCE Primary

UNIVERSITY OF ROEHAMPTON

Georgia - February 2024

I have been a proud student of Roehampton University since September 2020 when I studied a BA in Education Studies. The university is such a welcoming and caring environment and welcomes in many students from all walks of life. Roehampton welcomes many international students and creates a close community that makes all students feel welcome. Also, Roehampton's Library is a fabulous place to go and study in with a plethora of books to read and borrow. The student life is brilliant! Karaoke every week and many societies to suit any student!
The only thing that Roehampton could possibly improve on is more common areas are needed for students to chill out in on their breaks. read full review
The people in the Dance Department are amazing. The faculty is knowledgeable, receptive, and supportive. The course material is engaging, the environment is professional. However, the university administration has been cutting resources to Dance and other arts departments which makes me feel undervalued and undersupported by the university as a whole. I am paying an international student fee as an international student to receive an education that the university is actively trying to cut. The studio spaces have leaking roofs, no heat, and cracks in the walls. Some days it is unsafe to dance because the rooms are so cold it could cause physical injury. The studios also do not seem to be cleaned regularly by the maintenance staff which is unsanitary and a health hazard for a space where hundreds of students are working and sweating. read full review
