Improving our curriculum

Better for you, better for your career 

Learn about what we’re doing to transform our courses so that you're ready for the future.

We're proud of what we do here at the University of Roehampton, but that doesn't stop us looking to improve what we do. Our courses are:

  • Designed to develop the skills and knowledge for the future, whether it's getting a graduate role or further study, ready to shape the world around you.
  • Designed with employers and industry, based on concepts and challenges that together we need to face.
  • Linked to our world leading research, delivered by colleagues who are at the forefront of shaping knowledge
  • Embedded with academic support and a focus on your wellbeing at the heart of our curriculum.

Over the next few years, we're going to review each of our courses to ensure they meet our vision for the future. This is currently being delivered by a project we call SAIL.

What does this mean?

You may spot 'Course subject to curriculum review and revalidation' on your course information page.

That means that we're looking at what's taught, and how we teach it on each course. Think of it as a review. The fundamentals won't change and, as we finalise our plans, we'll confirm them to you. We're focusing on how we teach to ensure that you are better supported to achieve your best and enjoy an outstanding experience.

In general:

  • What you study will be more in-depth, allowing you to get into the content of each module more effectively.
  • We're working with employers to ensure that our modules are more effectively aligned to the world of work.
  • We'll increase contact time, so that you spend time with academic staff and benefiting from support whilst also being able to better manage your time, whether it's spending time caring for others, working or taking part in clubs and groups.

When will the change happen?

Our updated courses will start from September 2025 and the rest from September 2026. As soon as we finalise our plans, we will update our website with the new information about your course. If you already have an offer on a course, we'll update you via email with the relevant information.

Who can I speak to for more information?
