Get a feel for life at Royal Holloway on one of our Open Days. Look around campus, meet our students and teaching staff, and experience university life through talks, taster sessions and tours. Our Open Days are lively, interesting and informative.
As well as Open Days, we offer a range of tours, courses and visiting days so you can get to know what it’s like to study and live at Royal Holloway.
Once you've applied for a place here, you'll be invited to an Applicant Visit Day to get a closer look at your chosen department and life as a Royal Holloway student.

We'll be holding two more Open Days on Saturday 28 September and Saturday 19 October.
