Academic skills, 1:1s or group workshops
You can access help through the Centre for the Development of Academic Skills (CeDAs) which runs workshops, 1:1 advice and drop-in sessions to help boost your academic and study skills.
Personal Tutors and Peer Guides
A personal tutor is an academic member of staff from your department, who is a designated friendly face and line of support. They are there as a point of contact to help you settle into academic life, make sure you are coping with university life, and signpost you to other university services if and when needed.
Peer Guides are current students (in the same School as you) and are another great source of information. They will be able to provide you with practical guidance and helpful resources.
Students’ Union
The Students' Union is dedicated to representing your views as a student so that you enjoy your time studying at Royal Holloway. There are loads of different ways you can get involved on campus, with over 100 clubs and societies to choose from to make friends and enjoy what you love to do.
There are also opportunities to become an academic rep to influence changes on your course, participate in our Union Workshops, and have a say on the services we deliver.

Nursery places for students' children
Our students’ children have access to priority places at Bright Horizons, a nursery next to our campus. You can find further information on local childcare on the Surrey County Council website.
