About Royal Holloway, University of London
Royal Holloway, University of London is a research university founded in 1879, set on one of the most dramatically beautiful campuses in the UK — a Victorian Founder's Building modelled on a French chateau, set in 135 acres of parkland in Surrey, just 40 minutes from central London. Royal Holloway is particularly strong in psychology, music, drama, computer science, and the sciences. For North American students, the campus setting is genuinely stunning and unlike almost anything else in UK higher education, while the London connection means access to the capital's opportunities and culture.
