Royal Holloway University of London

1. 1

   The short answer

   Royal Holloway University of London is a public research university in the United Kingdom and a member institution of the federal University of London. It suits students who want a research-led university with an international student body and access to London without being in the city centre.

2. 2

   What you can study

   Royal Holloway has six schools and 21 academic departments. It is a university rather than a specialist college, so applicants can expect study across a range of academic areas, but the specific programme catalogue is not given here and should be checked on the university website.

3. 3

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the entry requirements, deadlines, and document list for the course they want. Because the exact requirements can vary by programme, confirm the current application steps and any country-specific guidance on the university website.

4. 4

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee in the information available here, so confirm the current fee for your course with the admissions office. Living costs will depend on housing and daily spending in Surrey and on travel to London, so plan a separate budget for those.

5. 5

   Coming from abroad

   Teaching language is not stated here, so confirm it before applying. As an international student, you should also check visa requirements, English language requirements, accommodation options, and how far the campus is from central London for travel and living costs.
