Roehampton Vale campus

Friars Avenue, London, SW15 3DW

Students studying all Engineering courses (except for Civil and Construction Engineering) are based here.

We redesigned Roehampton Vale to provide teaching rooms and laboratories exclusively for engineering students. The engineering focus gives it a real sense of community.

Situated on the outskirts of Kingston, the campus is about three and a half miles from Kingston town centre and close to Richmond Park.
