Today, the colleges provide the friendly, welcoming community that makes Roehampton so distinctive, supporting student wellbeing, social life and the wider student experience.

The Faculty of Business and Law is a vibrant learning community of students and staff who believe that businesses and legal professionals should act with a social conscience and promote excellent citizenship. These values are embedded in our world-class research and the practice-based pedagogy we provide for our students.

We focus on ‘law in practice’ and, through our comprehensive undergraduate and postgraduate portfolio which will evolve to include a focus on commercial law, we provide our students with the opportunity to act like a lawyer from the very start of their time with us.
