Sport and Active lifestyle

Keeping active is easy at Royal Holloway with our on-campus sports centre and extensive range of clubs and recreational sport opportunities. One of our sporting highlights of the year is competing against other universities for the Varsity cup, as you can see in the video above. We've got all the traditional sports teams that you'd expect, from men's and women's football, rugby, netball and hockey, to Waterski, Eton Fives and Motorsport. 

Along with 40 competitive sports clubs, we also offer a recreational sports programme, Active, where you can drop in across a number of sports or join an on-campus social league. If sports aren’t your thing, but you still want to keep fit and healthy, you can make use of our 60- station gym or join one of our group exercise classes, such as Zumba, Yoga or Spinning.

Societies

Want to have a go at acapella singing? Or writing for a student magazine? Or debating? Or maybe you want to speak up for human rights through Amnesty International? Our Students' Union runs more than 100 different clubs and societies including our own book club and gospel choir. We even have an App Society for entrepreneurial students keen to develop the latest must-have mobile software. So take your pick and meet others who share your passion - you can even set up a brand new society if nothing takes your interest!
