Tutors are very supportive, the teaching is great and facilities for Nursing are top class review#toggle">read more

Roehampton as a University has had a massive fall from grace. When I applied, it was one of the best for my course (Ancient History). Despite this, they showed a complete lack of respect for this course and cut it in my second year placing me on a different course (Classical Studies). I was initially OK with these changes as I started a society with the RSU with the hopes of helping my music hobby. The RSU were completely useless, unable to fulfil simple room booking requests and almost actively wanted my society to fail by not replying to emails despite how many I sent. Even the Summer Ball, an event designed to celebrate students of the uni, decided to hire friends of the organisers instead of internal talent. I cannot in my right mind recommend this university even as an ex-ambassador. I had to step down from my role because I could not sell this uni to anyone. review#toggle">read more

Don't waste your time with this university, the only thing they care about is getting as many students as possible, you are just a number that brings them 9k a year, do not expect anything else. Discrimination is part of their culture, so don't be surprised getting lower marks, academic appeals refused, no communication at all, no academic assisantce. The quality of most tutors in business school is increadebly low, and nobody cares, some tutors are great and passioned about what they do, but most are just wasting your time in the seminars especially. If you want to be treated unfairly, without any repsect then you should go to Roehampton Uni. Student Union was helpful and the library is fine. I hope my comment will help some potential students make the right decision. review#toggle">read more
