Thanks for the support Tom. Yes, infact Roehampton has *very good*
position in the academic league tables (present first year company
excluded) ;-)

around 2000 it has University status. I do a computer programing

My point exactly - it was renamed as a university when labour
devalued
degrees by converting polys into universities and giving them
degree
awarding powers.

Most of this 'devaluation' was done in 1992 by the Conservative
government. The Further and Higher Education Act (1992) granted
university status to most of the national network of polytechnics and

colleges.

Despite being a Cambridge snob (!) I was under the impression
Roehamption was one of the better new universities?
