Join us at our events for schools, colleges and individuals. All of our upcoming events can be found in the UniTasterDays section below.
-- COVID-19 Update --
We will regularly review our offering to remain inline with government guidelines and university policy. Any in-person events can be moved online at relatively short notice, including at the request of schools, should this be necessary.
Schools can also opt for events to be online in the first instance if this is preferable.
School campus visits
We are once again hosting visitors on our campus , but with limited availability in order to minimise risks. Should government guidelines or university policy change, we will review what we are able to offer.
We deliver full and half-day campus visits (subject to availability) to enable students to experience university life and receive information, advice and guidance about higher education.
Campus visits will vary depending on the size of the group visiting, and room availability, but a typical visit will include:
- An academic session (e.g. a subject taster workshop or a lab tour)
- An Information, Advice, and Guidance session (e.g. about student finance)
- A campus tour
- A Q&A with our student ambassadors
To request a campus visit, please fill in our enquiry form. Note that this is subject to availability.
For other enquiries please contact us - schools@royalholloway.ac.uk

EPQ visits
We acknowledge the skills and independence developed by students completing the Extended Project Qualification and for many Royal Holloway Undergraduate courses, an EPQ will be taken into consideration and result in lower A-level grades being required for applicants. To watch and share our short video about the benefits of an EPQ, please click here.
Our EPQ visit days offer students the chance to learn research skills in an interactive session hosted by our librarians, as well as supervised use of our university library. Students can explore sources and supporting material for their projects while getting an insight into university level facilities. These visits are subject to the availability of our staff, and the best time for a visit would be between 14-18 February 2022, 19-22 April 2022 or 13 June - 8 July 2022. If these dates are not possible, do still get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate you.
To enquire about an EPQ visit please contact us - schools@royalholloway.ac.uk
