This further highlights our commitment to providing an excellent experience and education that enables our students to prepare themselves for a successful and fulfilling career in a rapidly changing world.
The University was commended by the review panel for the fact that most full-time Roehampton students achieve excellent outcomes. The University performed particularly well against the benchmark for rates of progression to highly skilled employment or further study. Other feedback included:
- support for students in gaining work experience and engagement with employers, resulting in high rates of progression to highly skilled employment and positive outcomes over longer career timelines
- effective programmes of staff development and an institutional culture of reward and recognition for teaching excellence
- the improvement in the attainment of black, Asian and minority ethnic students
- personalisation of timetables and specific support for under-represented student groups underpinning high levels of student engagement
Professor Jean-Noël Ezingeard, Vice-Chancellor, said "This is an excellent result for us and a real testament to the hard work and dedication of colleagues who teach and support our students. Roehampton is a university that prides itself in helping all students, regardless of their background, to develop the confidence, knowledge and adaptability they need for a successful graduate career and fulfilling life. We are delighted that the work colleagues undertake daily is now reflected, to a greater extent in the results of the TEF"
The TEF awards are made against six measures including how many students continue their course from one year to the next, graduate-level employment outcomes, and students' views about their experience gathered in the annual National Student Survey.
