Established in 1886, Royal Holloway, University of London was opened by Queen Victoria as one of the first all-women colleges in the UK. Today, we are proudly co-educational and open to students from all genders and backgrounds. Our main campus in Egham, Surrey, is just 40 minutes from central London and set within 135 acres of beautiful parkland. It is home to the iconic Founder’s Building, 25 academic departments, student residences, and a full range of support services – creating a close-knit, vibrant community. Here, students enjoy the best of both worlds: the benefits of a traditional campus experience alongside the cultural and professional opportunities of nearby London. In addition, some of our postgraduate programmes are delivered at our Central London campus in the heart of Bloomsbury, an ideal location for accessing the city’s world-class resources, networks, and attractions.
