The Roehampton campus is a green site of historic houses and modern buildings, with halls for first-years, the library and sports facilities, and Richmond Park at the gate.
South-west London is quieter than the centre, with Putney's riverside and Richmond nearby and central London about 30 minutes away by bus and train. Rent is high, as across London.

Undergraduate applications go through UCAS with an equal-consideration deadline of 14 January 2027 for September 2027 entry. Taught Master's courses accept applications on a rolling basis, with most closing in July for September and November for January.
September is the main intake for all courses. Roehampton also runs a January intake for several taught Master's programmes, including computing, data science, the MBA and project management. Dance and most undergraduate degrees are September only.
You need a Student route visa. Roehampton issues your CAS once you accept an unconditional offer and pay the deposit. Apply online up to six months before your course starts, showing funds at the London rate, and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge.
Computing, data science, the MBA, project management and dance are the most applied-for Master's programmes. Most ask for a 2:2 or above and IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5. Undergraduate offers typically range from BBC to CCC.
Yes. Roehampton offers international scholarships that reduce tuition for undergraduate and Master's applicants, usually assessed automatically from your application. Check the university's scholarships page for current amounts and eligibility.
