Recognised as one of the world’s top research-intensive universities, Royal Holloway is ranked 15th in the UK for the overall quality of its research outputs (Times Higher Education, REF2021 outputs scores), with 88% of research rated as world-leading or internationally excellent in the Research Excellence Framework 2021.
The University offers several pathways for collaboration, each designed to deliver innovation and meaningful outcomes across a wide array of sectors.
Research and Innovation Projects
Royal Holloway welcomes collaboration on both new and ongoing research projects. A range of opportunities exist for co-developing grant-funded or fully-funded projects with external organisations.
PhD Studentships
External partners can sponsor PhD studentships tailoring the project to their research needs. This enables partners to facilitate research that aligns with their strategic goals, while gaining access to cutting-edge academic expertise. These partnerships often involve joint supervision, which enhances knowledge exchange between the organisation and the University.
PhD studentships may also be appealing to organisations looking to upskill their own employees.
Licensing & Commercialisation
Royal Holloway supports the licensing of University-developed technologies and intellectual property. This allows external parties to commercialise innovations, benefiting from the University’s research excellence.
