Reputation and Standing
In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), Roehampton University was ranked first in the country for Dance and Biological Anthropology, and a total of 10 out of the 15 subjects that submitted work produced a proportion of research judged to be world-leading in terms of its originality and significance.
The University is the top post-92 university in London for students finding employment after they graduate. 78% of all research undertaken at the university was of an international standard. This has led to the university having "one of the strongest research profiles among modern universities".
Increasingly, the University is placing greater emphasis on a liberal arts position regarding higher education.
