What can I find on the Royal Holloway, University of London website?

Updated

The royalholloway.ac.uk site is organised around a small set of top-level sections — Studying Here, Student Life, Research & Education, About us, and More — plus a site search and a course/subject search. If you are a prospective student, the fastest route is usually the course search or the prospectus pages; if you already know what you want, the search box in the header will get you there faster than browsing.

Main sections and what they cover

Section What it contains
Studying Here Finding your course, applying, fees and funding, international students, undergraduate and postgraduate prospectuses, your future career, Central London campus, information for parents/supporters and schools/colleges, sign-up for more information, visiting, Foundation Year

If you are researching the university

Start with Discover Royal Holloway on the homepage, which links to the prospectuses and the Virtual Experience. The Virtual Experience is a 360° walkthrough of social spaces, accommodation and teaching facilities — useful if you cannot visit in person. Chat with our students puts you in touch with current students for questions the official pages do not answer.

For background on the institution itself, the About us section carries history, art collections and archives, and facts and figures, while Research & Education covers subjects, research culture and collaboration with industry and public-sector partners.

If you are applying or planning a visit

The Studying Here section is the operational one: course search, how to apply, fees and funding, and international student information. The site lists upcoming events on the homepage — for example, an Open Day on Saturday 14 November and an Online Open Day on Wednesday 4 November, with booking through the events link. Postgraduate events run both in person (Egham and London campuses) and online.

Practical notes

  • The header has a site search plus a separate course or subject search — use the course search if you are looking for a programme, the site search for anything else.
  • Student and staff intranets are listed under More; these are internal and not part of the public-facing content.
  • Term dates, facts and figures, and financial information sit under More, which is where to look for institutional reference data rather than course details.
