Events for schools and colleges

We offer full and half-day campus visits to school groups in Years 10 and above. During their visit, your students will gain an overview of higher education and a flavour of university life. 

Campus visits will vary depending on the size of the group visiting and room availability, but a typical visit will include:

• An academic session (like a subject taster workshop or a lab tour)
• An Information, Advice, and Guidance session (choose from a range of topics including student finance and personal statements)
• A campus tour
• A Q&A with our student ambassadors 

To request a campus visit, click the button at the top of this page.

*Please note that our campus visits are subject to availability. 

Due to room capacities we have a maximum of 120 per day for visits. If you exceed this number the groups will have to be split over multiple days.

If your students are taking the Extended Project Qualification, then our EPQ visit days are the perfect opportunity for them to refine their academic skills and become familiar with a university environment. 

Our EPQ visit days offer students the chance to learn integral research skills in an interactive session hosted by our librarians. Students then have supervised use of our university library to put what they've learnt into practice. They'll be able to explore sources and supporting material for their projects while getting an insight into university level facilities.

At Royal Holloway, we recognise the skills and independence students develop when completing the EPQ. If an applicant is taking the programme alongside their A-Levels, we'll take this into consideration and might make them an offer with lower entry requirements. Read more about our contextual offers

These visits are subject to the availability of our staff. To enquire about an EPQ visit please contact us - schools@royalholloway.ac.uk

Perhaps you'd like a member of our team to visit your students at your school or college. We can deliver a range of talks and workshops aimed at helping students understand more about higher education and what it has to offer. 

Our talks and workshops will suit audiences from Years 10-13 and can be tailored to fit your requirements.

Example talks & workshops:

• Why university?
• How to choose a course and university
• Making the most of Year 12
• Study skills
• UCAS uncovered
• Personal statements
• Student finance
• Student life

If you've got an idea for a talk or you'd like to discuss your requirements, please get in touch with us at schools@royalholloway.ac.uk

We regularly host webinars throughout the year to run through everything students need to know about applying and preparing for university. Explore what sessions we have coming up on our webinars page.
