"Without a doubt, my Roehampton degree opened many doors for me. Having my MSc from a British school has allowed me to stand out from other professionals in my field. Never in a million years did I think I would be working on projects of this size, scope, and importance. Plus, I met my future wife at Heathrow Airport on my first day in London. She was heading to Roehampton just like me!"

"My most memorable moment spent at ROE was the Thanksgiving that I celebrated abroad. I lived in a flat with seven other women – one American, two from the UK and four from Greece. The other American and I decided to throw a full-fledged Thanksgiving celebration for our flat to give the others a taste of a truly American holiday. All eight of us went grocery shopping together and crowded the kitchen for a night of cooking, eating, reflecting, and bonding. To this day, all eight of us keep in touch and have even visited each other on both sides of the pond since graduating!"

"With its highly specialised research programme and the world-class faculty, Roehampton was, simply, the perfect fit for me when looking at MA possibilities. I found nowhere else in the world a uni that had the modules directly linked to my research interests and faculty members that actively cared about my well-being. Receiving a quick, personalised email reply from Professor Andrée Grau sealed the deal that Roehampton was the place for me."

"While I initially chose to study at Roehampton because it was the only school in the world with my master’s programme, I have found so much more through the university. I have gained practical experience doing fieldwork in local communities and received guidance from seasoned professionals from all over the world. ROE has given me opportunities to network with experts in my field and to present my work at international conferences."

"The social life at Roehampton is amazing and one of the most special parts of campus life. There is always something going on, which makes socialising so easy! Living in London is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Public transportation is easily accessible all across London, which is perfect for sightseeing and travelling. ROE is a great fit for all aspiring students. It makes every student feel at home in as big of a city as London."

"Everyone was welcoming and friendly and very patiently taught me how to ride buses and trains! Not only are the campus grounds lovely, the university is only a short bus ride from the neighborhoods of Putney, Barnes and Sheen which offer shopping as well as a variety of delicious restaurants and cafes. I really feel like I have been able to build professional relationships with my tutors and lecturers, who are always more than willing to support students."

"There are a few reasons why I chose the UK. For example, affordability and the length of the programme. I knew what I wanted to study right from the beginning. I didn’t want to pay for extra classes that didn’t relate to my degree."

"For me, the best part of the university has been the independence I gained and what came with that. Living on my own, buying my own food, and just making my own decisions was an essential part of my character growth in the past two years. I am a much more confident person in so many ways, and much happier and more content with what I am doing in life."

"When I was 12 years old, I had it very clear in my mind that I wanted to study Psychology. I was always curious about finding the answer to certain questions such as “why is this person acting this way?” or “how do they feel?”. I wanted to understand everything about people."

"For me I think it is easy to make friends because there are good opportunities to meet people from different countries and they are really kind. If you like to talk, it's easy to make friends. You can talk about history and culture, something everybody is interested in."

"If you are looking for what we call a first class inclusive university in London, then I will recommend you to the University of Roehampton. I came to Roehampton with British sign language, not my first language but managed to successfully complete my studies with near distinction."

"The reasons I chose the University of Roehampton were mainly the green campus and my course. I really wanted to come to London but also wanted a peaceful campus a little bit away from the centre. I also really like the way that the staff here are as well."

"On my academic work, the more I looked into what the management school had to offer, I knew I made the best choice to study with the University of Roehampton. The outstanding reputation of the Business school, added with overwhelming atmosphere of study and excellent student unionism, I became more embraced with my stay and academic work."

"Originally I actually came to Roehampton for my BA back in 2005 and I found out about Roehampton because I was looking for a campus university and ideally I wanted to come to London. I ended up coming back for multiple reasons – I’d been travelling and working in different countries but one thing that remained a constant was that my mentor from the time – Caroline Bainbridge."

"I wanted to experience something completely different and new. I knew that doing this degree abroad would be much more attractive to employers. Having this on my résumé definitely stood out. I’ve been headhunted multiple times just because of the uniqueness of what my CV provides. For example, I got a job (during the recession) five months prior to me even completing my degree at Roehampton."

"It’s a good experience to improve yourself. You improve your language skills and get a master degree at the same time. There are really so many advantages of being here, close to central London there are so many choices for things to do."

"I would also recommend Roehampton to my friends because the professors and tutors in the Dance department are famous and experts in different dance areas. I think that I can learn more from them, which is important for my future career and maybe PhD studies."
