The following information is taken from the Royal Holloway website:

Royal Holloway College was founded by the Victorian entrepreneur, Thomas Holloway as a college for the higher education of bright young women. Almost 100 years later, Royal Holloway merged with Bedford College, another pioneering institution founded in 1849 by Elizabeth Jesser Reid. The colleges became part of the University of London before the turn of the century, when the University first awarded degrees to women, and both began to admit male undergraduates from 1965.

Royal Holloway has earned a world-class reputation for developing original research. Our students join a community in which academic staff are working at the frontiers of their subjects, and degree courses, interdisciplinary programmes and specialist research centres reflect current thinking and the latest developments.

Research is enhanced by successful relationships and collaborations with industry and commerce. Royal Holloway continues to play an important role in the economic and cultural profile of the South East region. A thriving business partnership - Commercial Connections - provides a platform for productive links between the College, multinational corporations and local enterprises.

Royal Holloway is renowned for having a friendly environment - home for a vibrant community of 5,500 undergraduate and postgraduate students of all ages and backgrounds and from more than 90 countries. Our spacious campus provides an impressive range of modern academic and social facilities in a parkland setting in Surrey, close to London and the UK's major communications network.
