Roehampton has a proud history that dates back more than 175 years through its four colleges. Now ranked the best modern university in London,* students from more than 150 countries have chosen to study online with Roehampton and earn a quality education accredited by the UK government.
Learning model and programme structure
Each of the Roehampton Online masters programmes has been designed to help you move forward in your life and follows the same basic structure.
Every online programme is made up of seven modules and a research project. Every module lasts 12 weeks. You then have a break of approximately two weeks before resuming your studies. Your research project is much like a dissertation, in which all previous leaning culminates in an academic research paper.
Modules equate to 20 academic credits while your research project carries 40 credits – but you have 26 weeks to complete that part of your programme.
