At Royal Holloway, we have a proud history of being at
the forefront of social change. We were one of the first places in the UK where
women could access higher education. Today, as a university of social purpose,
we’re still transforming lives and responding to global needs and challenges by
building on our incredible platform of outstanding research, education, and
civic and global engagement. You can be a part of this.
Our courses cover arts, business, humanities, law, and
sciences, and we often take a cross-disciplinary approach that means you’re
getting the best teaching from across the university. We consistently rank among the UK’s leading universities for both teaching
and research, with 88% of Royal Holloway’s research rated as world-leading or
internationally excellent in the latest REF (2021). This puts us in the top 25%
of UK universities overall. Plus, many of our departments were ranked top 20 in
The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025, the Complete
University Guide 2025 and The Guardian University Guide 2025.
Choose to study with us and you’ll receive outstanding
teaching from world-leading experts, who take the time to get to know you and
help you develop your passions or discover new ones. Our research-infused
curriculum ensures you have the chance to get involved in discoveries that are
creating real-world change today. We also cultivate partnerships that link us with local and global
industries and culture, so you can boost your studies with real working
experiences.
We have two locations: A close-knit community campus
in Surrey that’s just a 40-minute train from London, and a vibrant base in the
very heart of central London. Wherever you’re located, you’ll have access to top-notch
facilities and expert staff.
It’s not all about studying. We provide careers
support from day one and opportunities to give you skills and experiences you
can take into the workplace. You might have the chance to find a work placement,
volunteer in the local community or become a student ambassador. We also offer
a fantastic range of social events, clubs, societies and sports, so you can
enjoy some well-earned downtime.
We’re pleased to
offer a great range of scholarships, bursaries and other funding opportunities,
so you can make the most of your time here. They range from course-specific and
sport scholarships to means-tested opportunities and automatic tuition fee
reductions for those coming from certain countries.
Brave from our beginnings, Royal Holloway has been
opening up university education to those who didn’t think they belonged and
asking the difficult questions for over 170 years. We’re here for what matters
– to society and the world, and most importantly, to you.

Step on to our Egham campus and you can’t
fail to be amazed. But it’s not just the spectacular chateau-inspired Founder’s
Building, with its towering fairy-tale turrets, that impresses. There’s our
striking modern library, state-of-the art academic facilities and fantastic sports
provision too, not to mention the woodland waterfalls.
Being campus-based means everything you need
is right where you need it. If you fancy popping to the library at an unusual
time of day, have to pick up essentials from the shop, desperately need a Starbucks
or want a tranquil place to escape, relax and recharge, it’s all here. It’s
safe, it’s green, and, most importantly, it will quickly feel like home.
Choice is key when it comes to our
accommodation. Will you choose a modern townhouse or
opt for a traditional room in our historic
Founder’s Building? Are you happy to share a bathroom or
is an en-suite essential? Check our website for a full list of
options but rest assured that all our halls of residence offer comfort, a ready-made
community of fellow students and a range of prices to suit different budgets.
Our London campus is in the heart of
Bloomsbury, an area packed with museums, libraries, production houses and
agencies, as well as shops, pubs and cafes. Soak up everything the capital has
to offer while studying from our hub at 11 Bedford Square. Here we have
teaching spaces, offices and dedicated staff who will give you all the support
you need. You’re also close to Senate House. As Royal Holloway is a member of
the University of London, you’ll have access to the spectacular resources at
Senate House Library.
London is an exciting place to live. Staying
in halls will keep you connected to wider university life, while helping you
make friends with students at a similar stage of study. We have some rooms available for postgraduate
students via the University of London’s Intercollegiate halls of residence.
Getting a degree is just one (obviously
important) part of your time here. There’s loads more to be getting on with to
build up your experiences, make friends or just enjoy some well-earned
downtime.

Step on to our Egham campus and you can’t fail to be amazed. But it’s not just the spectacular chateau-inspired Founder’s Building, with its towering fairy-tale turrets, that impresses. There’s our striking modern library, state-of-the art academic facilities and fantastic sports provision too, not to mention the woodland waterfalls.
Being campus-based means everything you need is right where you need it. If you fancy popping to the library at an unusual time of day, have to pick up essentials from the shop, desperately need a Starbucks or want a tranquil place to escape, relax and recharge, it’s all here. It’s safe, it’s green, and, most importantly, it will quickly feel like home.
Choice is key when it comes to our accommodation. Will you choose a modern townhouse or
opt for a traditional room in our historic Founder’s Building? Are you happy to share a bathroom or
is an en-suite essential? Check our website for a full list of options but rest assured that all our halls of residence offer comfort, a ready-made community of fellow students and a range of prices to suit different budgets.
Our London campus is in the heart of Bloomsbury, an area packed with museums, libraries, production houses and agencies, as well as shops, pubs and cafes. Soak up everything the capital has to offer while studying from our hub at 11 Bedford Square. Here we have teaching spaces, offices and dedicated staff who will give you all the support you need. You’re also close to Senate House. As Royal Holloway is a member of the University of London, you’ll have access to the spectacular resources at Senate House Library.
London is an exciting place to live. Staying in halls will keep you connected to wider university life, while helping you make friends with students at a similar stage of study. We have some rooms available for postgraduate students via the University of London’s Intercollegiate halls of residence.

We’ve also got lots of services in place to support you with health and wellbeing, disability and neurodiversity, and academic success.
Our Egham campus is regularly ranked and voted as one of the safest in the UK and we’re proud of our friendly and welcoming community here.
