University of Roehampton
The University of Roehampton, formerly the Roehampton Institute of Higher Education, is a public research university in Roehampton, London. The university traces its origin to four institutions founded in the 19th century, which today make up the university's constituent colleges: Digby Stuart College, Froebel College, Southlands College and Whitelands College.
Between 2000 and 2004, Roehampton, together with the University of Surrey, partnered as the Federal University of Surrey. In 2004, Roehampton became an independent university, and in 2011, it was renamed the University of Roehampton. The university is one of the post-1992 universities and is a member of the European University Association and Universities UK.
The university achieved a silver rating in the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework and it also received positive results in recent[when?] student satisfaction surveys and national research assessments.
Roehampton still operates through a collegiate system comprising four historic colleges, each originally established in the 19th century as women's teacher training colleges:
All four colleges were founded to address the need to educate poor and disadvantaged children. In 1976, the four colleges joined to form the Roehampton Institute of Higher Education. Its first rector was Kevin Keohane, the former professor of science education at Chelsea College of Science and Technology.
The institution gained research degree awarding powers in 1998 and in 2000 became part of the Federal University of Surrey as the University of Surrey Roehampton. In 2004 it became a university in its own right as Roehampton University. It was one of the last institutions to gain university status under the pre-Higher Education Act 2004 rules that required research degree awarding powers.
Since 2011, the university has been branded the University of Roehampton. However, its legal name remains Roehampton University. In 2012, Whitelands College was legally merged with the university, bringing all the colleges into a common management structure.
Roehampton's research spans five key areas: Creative exchange, Health and wellbeing, Social justice and inclusivity, Faith in society, and Economic Sustainability and Environmental Conservation. Roehampton supports several research centres across its academic disciplines:
