Royal Holloway, University of London

Royal Holloway was founded by two social reformers who pioneered the ideal of education and knowledge for all who could benefit. Their vision lives on today. We are one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities, home to some of the world’s foremost authorities in the sciences, arts, business, economics and laws and attracts students and staff from all over the world.

We currently have about 2,300 postgraduate students, out of a total student population of about 11,500. Our students benefit from a broad education, being taught and working alongside dedicated researchers and practitioners within our 25 academic departments.

As well as the campus in Egham, we have a thriving central London campus which offers a range of taught postgraduate courses.
