Roehampton Vale
Roehampton Vale campus, Friars Avenue, London SW15 3DW
The Roehampton Vale campus is designed to provide teaching rooms and laboratories exclusively for engineering students. This engineering focus gives it a real sense of community.
The modern and well-equipped laboratories here – including specialist computer-aided design labs and an automotive engineering lab – add real-life experience to our students' studies.
The laboratories house industry-standard test and experimental equipment for metrology, robotics, rapid prototyping, fatigue and quality control. Other on-campus facilities include seminar and lecture rooms (equipped with multimedia facilities), a student canteen and a graduate centre.
The facilities at Roehampton Vale were improved in 2010, with the installation of a 190-person lecture theatre; a 60-person computer room; and shower facilities for cyclists.
Roehampton Vale is on the outskirts of Kingston, about 3.5 miles from the town centre and close to Richmond Park. The free university bus connects Roehampton Vale with the other campuses as well as the main halls of residence, town centre and Kingston railway station, so it's easy to get around.
