University of Roehampton Avis 

Absolutely awful University. Would strongly and I EMPHASISE, strongly dissuade any international applicants from approaching them unless you have spare funds elsewhere as if your application gets rejected, they WILL withhold your deposits. And you will find yourself in a very precarious situation whereby you are left absolutely sickened from the lack of contact and poor response. And for deposits that run into several thousands, just wave goodbye to any plans of pursuing your studies unless you have spare cash elsewhere. Very tough for international students who often have to work really hard to find these funds in the first place. One could argue they are quite discriminatory as it is impacting people from often poor backgrounds from pursuing their studies.
The University needs to be really ashamed of themselves and what they are putting people through. Absolutely shameful

This is among the worst international university I have come across, they treat international applicant with disdain. I have been requesting for my refund for pre-cas interview according to their terms and condition for months now, no response. Communication is Zero, attitude of their staffs are unprofessional.
Its very disappointing and devastating coming across this university.

The Lack of communication is really appalling, I have gotten a conditional offer, uploaded all the requested documents. it is almost September and classes will start soon, calls not answered, no reply to emails, no updates on the next steps to take. I am still on hold, my advice is never make university of Roehampton your first and only choice.

As a student at Roehampton, I regret to say that my experience has been far from satisfactory. Here are some of the issues I’ve encountered:
Lackluster Facilities: The university’s facilities, including classrooms, libraries, and recreational spaces, are outdated and poorly maintained. It’s disheartening to see such a prestigious institution fall short in this regard.
Ineffective Communication: Communication from the administration is often unclear and inconsistent. Important announcements get lost in a sea of emails, and students are left in the dark about crucial matters.
Underwhelming Support Services: Whether it’s academic advising, mental health resources, or career guidance, the university’s support services are inadequate. Students deserve better assistance during their academic journey.
Overcrowded Classes: Large class sizes hinder meaningful interaction with professors. It’s challenging to engage in discussions or receive personalized feedback when you’re just one face in a crowded lecture hall.
Attendance Confusion: The university fails to provide clear guidelines on attendance policies. Students are left wondering whether attendance is mandatory, how it affects their grades, and what steps to take if they miss a class.
Financial Burden: Unexpected fees and hidden costs have burdened students financially. Transparency regarding expenses is sorely lacking.
In summary, Roehampton University has failed to meet my expectations. I hope these issues can be addressed for the benefit of future students.

This is the 7 months and I’m yet to get a refund from this university, i have applied for a refund through the link ,is my money going to go like that with no response on mails I sent .your contact lines are not reachable , is the school a scam.. how could you off your comments .. refund my money .. it was stated on the website that you refund initial deposit if apply immediately which I did and have sent mails since last year October I’m currently in debt and sick … refund my money

I recently applied for an MA course via their online portal. I uploaded all my documents as requested and two referees provided excellent refs. My work history over many years directly evidenced my relevant for the course experience ( Counsellor and Support Worker in Mental Health ) I made several calls and sent several emails as by March this year had heard nothing. Got no replies Then i looked at my online account and saw one word "rejection" I sent an email asking for the reason. By return i received what looked like a generic response cut and pasted stating " you did not meet the basic admissions criteria " I was shocked as my degree, counselling diploma,work experience met the criteria and more. I have since emailed the pgadmissionsteam simply asking them to explain in which way i did not meet the basic criteria. Have had no response whatsoever. I can gracefully accept a genuine reason for my not being offered an interview but their explanation was just insulting. Does anyone know Who i can contact in the PG admissions team ? or the Dept of Psychology to request the honest explanation.... Is it my age, the fact that im not going to pay as much for my course as an international applicant might. If so then the process is highly discriminatory....
Angry but have other options and Unis to try for next year

The mitigating circumstance team does not review the applications properly. They either reject the application or keep asking for evidence despite providing more than enough evidence. They do not care if you have an emergency.

The lack of communication from this university is appalling. Plenty of generic emails but never can answer specific questions. It's like there are no staff there! When trying to get hold of anyone re postgrad degrees or booking short courses time after time I've had no responses or had to chase, chase, chase. They don't seem to have any sense that a postgraduate degree is a huge investment and people need to be able to get responses.

If there is minus rating I would give minus millions stars this University is just collecting money they will keep forcing you to pay the deposit to not miss your place from and then they will mislead students , give false information and after wasting all your time and money and you ask for refund they won't reply at all even if you call them the operator will just say I am sorry!! And wait for a reply from finance on your email and there is no time frame.

I am an international student, they not only accepted my placement, and after months of prepping my visa and declining other university's offers they canceled my program without warning me that it was a possibility when I was applying. They now have canceled the other program I currently am in so my work feels pointless. The pricing for on campus housing is not equivalent to the quality of housing, molded bathrooms, poor plumbing issues, and more. They take forever to reply to emails even when the issue is very severe, such as my room literally flooded when I submitted a service ticket 2 weeks earlier only for the issue to get to the point my sink backed up and flooded my room, if I didn't harrass them constantly the issue would not have been fixed. Did not pay me back for the damages caused. This university only will take your money and then leave you with no support and assistance.

Very late to answer emails and enquiries
I've been excluded from one because seems unfairly recruiting process

I did my BSc and years later a did my Master. back then like 2010-2017 the university seemed decent but now its standard have plummeted, especially in the business school. one class size was 7 people when I was there, its now 1000. They are doing it for the money to line their pockets, and I am now embarrassed to have it on my CV. for such a great culture and great facilities to what it is today makes me really upset.

A bunch of thieves!!!!

They stole my money!!!

Stay away from this University!

The university has made some rapid gains over the last decade or so, I would advise most people to definitely give Roehampton a try.

I never recommend this university, they don't have any standard of marking. Completely unfair markings, no check and balance.
