ABOUT THE AREA

Royal Holloway’s campus is set in 135 acres (55 ha) of woodland, between Windsor and Heathrow.[18] Around 200 species of shrubs, 150 different types of tree and numerous wild flowering plants can be found in RHC’s parkland. The nearest station is Egham. The campus is about 40–50 minutes from Waterloo station in central London about 19 miles (31 km) away, and Windsor is 5 miles (8 km). The campus is 2 miles (3.2 km) from M25 junction 13 and close to the M3, M4 and M40 and London Heathrow Airport.

The Founder’s Building, which dominates the campus, has striking north and south towers and two large quadrangles and contains a chapel, kitchen and dining hall, lecture theatre and the arts library along with student rooms and offices. Founder’s has often been the centre of media attention and is a popular filming location for TV and film as a grandiose ‘university’ or ‘public school’.

Do a keyword search on UCAS – if there’s a specific course title or course combination you want to do, type it directly into the UCAS course finder engine.
Do your research carefully – check out university websites, as well as UCAS, so you get a real feel for the place.

Check the entry requirements – will you need specific subjects (including GCSEs) or work experience? Are you on track to achieve the grades you need?
