One record matters more than any ranking when reading a university page: the Home Office register of student sponsors, which is what permits an institution to issue the CAS a student visa requires. University of Roehampton appears on it, and on the register that carries degree-awarding powers; this page sets out the institution’s subjects, entry requirements, fee arrangements and application steps.
01
What kind of university is Roehampton?
The University of Roehampton teaches on a single campus set in parkland in south-west London and traces back to teacher training colleges founded in the nineteenth century. It still carries the four colleges that came from those schools as separate units within its structure.
The collegiate arrangement is a trace of how the institution came together: each college comes from a separate teacher training school and today organises accommodation and social life. Academic teaching runs through departments, so the two structures work apart from one another.
Degree-awarding powers sit on the Office for Students register; the authority to issue the CAS a student visa requires sits on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors. The two registers are kept separately and both are recorded in the institution's own name.
02
Which subjects stand out at Roehampton?
Education is the institution's longest established field and comes from its teacher training tradition. Alongside it dance, psychology, nursing, business and creative writing carry long course lists at undergraduate and postgraduate level and fill out the catalogue.
- Education: teacher education, early childhood education, education management.
- Arts and Humanities: dance, drama, creative writing, film, music.
- Psychology and Life Sciences: psychology, nutrition, biomedical sciences.
- Business and Law: business, marketing, human resources, law.
The dance programmes are among the most recognised titles on the arts side and carry a practical teaching load. A significant share of the education programmes run under professional accreditation and include a school placement.
03
What are the entry requirements at Roehampton?
The institution publishes no single Turkey-wide grade threshold; the qualifications accepted and the mark required are stated in the entry requirements section of each course page. A Turkish high school diploma is not sufficient on its own.
| Level | What is published |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate — with a school diploma | A-level, IB or another accepted equivalent qualification |
| Postgraduate | The grade required is published on each course page |
| English language | Published separately, course by course |
For an applicant holding a Turkish high school diploma the route is an accepted qualification such as A-level or the IB, or one of the foundation programmes. The English level a course asks for is published on the same page.
04
What are tuition fees at Roehampton?
The international fee varies by course and each course publishes the figure on its own page. The institution runs scholarships at undergraduate and postgraduate level; conditions and deadlines are listed on its funding pages by year of entry and by course.
Alongside tuition, living cost is the second large item. The maintenance funds a student visa asks you to show are set by region and come to £1,529 a month here; outside London the same line is £1,171.
Postgraduate scholarships also run at department level and their deadlines close before the course's own. The UK scholarships page sets out the arrangement in general terms.

05
What is the campus and student life like in London?
The campus sits on parkland adjoining Richmond Park and is one of a small number of sites inside London with green space on this scale. The city centre is half an hour away by train and the college buildings are spread across the same site.
The campus adjoins Richmond Park and holds a lake and historic buildings within the site. Rent sits below inner London, although the maintenance calculation for a student visa is made at the London rate.
Accommodation is mostly in the college halls on campus. The city centre is half an hour away by train and Wimbledon and Putney are the nearest options for rented housing.

Frequently asked questions
What does the collegiate arrangement mean?
The institution is made up of four colleges, each coming from a separate teacher training school. The colleges organise accommodation and social life while academic teaching runs through departments, so the two structures work apart.
What grade is required for postgraduate entry?
The institution publishes no single Turkey-wide grade threshold. The mark required is stated in the entry requirements section of each course page and differs from faculty to faculty.
Can you apply to University of Roehampton with a Turkish high school diploma?
A school diploma is not sufficient on its own. Applicants complete an accepted qualification such as A-levels or the IB, or a foundation year; course pages list what is accepted.
How much maintenance is shown for London?
A student visa asks for £1,529 a month in London and £1,171 outside it. The amount is calculated for up to nine months and is a separate line from tuition.
