Student Accommodation in Richmond upon Thames

Based in south west London, the university operates on three major sites in Roehampton. The parkland campus provides a great break from the bustling city of London with areas such as Putney and Hammersmith just a short distance away. In 2014 the Research Excellence Framework judged the college's research to be one of the most highly regarded in the UK, with two-thirds qualifying as 'world leading' or 'internationally excellent'. In particular, 94% of research in the field of Dance was considered 'internationally excellent', meaning that Roehampton University has the best Dance department in the country.
