The School is home to the internationally recognised Centre for Research in Arts and Creative Exchange, which aims to interrogate what arts research is and can be in the current climate, and to lead, invent and innovate on how research is conducted. Through seminars, forums and conferences involving staff and international guests, the Centre supports a compelling research culture.
Energetic and innovative, this programme reimagines the learning journey.

In the first semester, you will start in France for an induction and an intensive course. For the rest of the first academic year, students are divided between NTNU Trondheim and the University of Szeged, Hungary, and then spend their third semester in France, and the fourth and final semester at the University of Roehampton.

Roehampton has excellent links with dance companies and creative organisations. In easy reach of London's vibrant dance scene, the campus has superb studios, an excellent new library and a state-of-the-art theatre for dance students.

Choreomundus graduates enjoy global employment prospects in both public and private organisations dedicated to preserving Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). With expertise in creating digitised ICH inventories through innovative methods like motion capture, alumni contribute to open access, archives, and aesthetic applications.

They find fulfilling roles in heritage, cultural tourism, interactive museums, and engage in social integration projects, collaborating with displaced persons, communities, and pursuing doctoral research.
