Learn More →University Overview
Royal Holloway, University of London is a public research university and a member institution of the University of London. It was formed in 1985 through the merger of Bedford College, founded in London in 1849 as the first higher education college for women in the UK, and Royal Holloway College, established by Thomas and Jane Holloway and opened by Queen Victoria in 1886. The main campus occupies around 135 acres of parkland and woodland in Egham, Surrey, about 40 minutes by train from central London, and is centred on the historic Founder's Building.
The university has around 13,000 students and teaches across six schools, supported by a Doctoral School for research students. Well-known strengths include information security, where the Information Security Group introduced the first master's degree in the field in 1992, as well as drama and theatre, music and the biological sciences. Royal Holloway describes itself as a university of social purpose, holds a Silver rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework 2023 and is placed in the top quarter of UK universities for research rated world-leading or internationally excellent.
Information for International Students
Almost a third of Royal Holloway students come from outside the UK, representing around 130 countries. An International Advice Team supports students with immigration matters throughout their time in the UK, and guidance is available on CAS numbers and Student visa applications. A dedicated International Student Recruitment team and a network of country representatives help applicants, and pre-departure webinars prepare new students for arrival.
Most undergraduate programmes typically require IELTS 6.5 overall, with 6.0 in writing and at least 5.5 in each other component; taught postgraduate programmes typically ask for 6.5 overall with no component below 6.0. Students who do not yet meet the requirement can prepare through pre-sessional English language programmes, and the Centre for the Development of Academic Skills offers continuing language support.
The Royal Holloway International Study Centre, run by Study Group on the Egham campus, offers an International Foundation Year, International Year One and Pre-Masters programmes in business, computing, engineering, sciences, humanities and law, along with English language preparation. Accommodation is guaranteed to new undergraduates, and to overseas postgraduate taught students, who make Royal Holloway their firm choice and apply by the deadline. Eligible graduates may apply for the Graduate Route.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Royal Holloway University of London is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for Royal Holloway University of London start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Royal Holloway University of London may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
