-==History==
-Roehampton University is the successor to '''Roehampton Institute of Higher Education''' (RIHE), which was created in 1975. It was formed by the federation of four teacher training colleges with [[19th century]] origins. The colleges, in order of foundation, were:
-* '''[[Whitelands College]]''' – an [[Church of England|Anglican]] foundation (1841)
-* '''[[Southlands College]]''' – a [[Methodism|Methodist]] foundation (1872)
-* '''[[Digby Stuart College]]''' – named after two pioneers in [[Roman Catholicism|Catholic]] education (1874)
-* '''[[Froebel College]]''' – established to promote the progressive educational philosophy of [[Friedrich Fröbel]] (1892)
-For the first ten years, the Institute's degrees were validated by the [[University of London]].  Students at RIHE also had access to the University of London's facilities.
-===Link to the University of Surrey===
-After the 1983-84 academic year, Roehampton Institute broke its links with the University of London. Instead it formed a connection with the [[University of Surrey]], and its graduates were awarded Surrey degrees.
-The links with Surrey were strengthened considerably from 1 January 2000, when Roehampton Institute became an equal partner in the [[Federal University of Surrey]], and changed its name to the '''University of Surrey Roehampton'''. The other partner was the original University of Surrey ("UniS") based in [[Guildford]].
-Whilst working closely together, Roehampton and the University of Surrey functioned as independent, self-regulating universities. Both registered students independently, and Roehampton students continued to be taught on a Roehampton campus. As each institution controlled its own property, employed its own staff and registered its own students, applications were made to each institution separately. Applicants used distinct [[UCAS]] codes for both Roehampton and Surrey.
-===University status===
-In late 2003, the University of Surrey Roehampton announced that it would submit an application for independent university title to the [[Department for Education and Skills (United Kingdom)|Department for Education and Skills]], and the application was submitted on 18 March 2004.  The name chosen was "Roehampton University". The application was considered by the [[Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council|Privy Council]], and on 23 June 2004 it was announced that independent university status was to be granted.
-On 1 August 2004, the University of Surrey Roehampton became Roehampton University. Therefore the Federal University of Surrey was dissolved on this date.
-[[John Simpson (journalist)|John Simpson]] became the first [[Chancellor (education)|Chancellor]] of Roehampton University in 2005.
-[[Paul O'Prey]] is the current Chief Executive and Vice-Chancellor, supported by Deputy Vice-Chancellor [[Jane Broadbent]] and Pro Vice-Chancellors [[Chris Cobb]] and [[Andy Masheter]]. Reggie Blennerhassett is Director of Finance. Sir David Bell is Chair of Council.
