About us

The School of Engineering, Physical and Mathematical Science (EPMS) at Royal Holloway was created in 2019.

Across our five departments of Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Mathematics, Physics and the Information Security Group, the EPMS school provides a coordinating framework for our world-class research and teaching.
In research, EPMS focusses particularly on areas of strength that profit from interdisciplinary larger groups in addition to supporting smaller groups and individuals in our departments.
In teaching the school provides the structure and processes to support flexible teaching and exams.

The school is supported by a single joint admin team and acts as contact point for its departments, professional services and the senior management team.
