I would personally describe the foundation programme at Royal Holloway as a unique university experience on both an academic, and also a social level.
-
Royal Holloway was different. From the beginning I found every person with whom I corresponded so supportive that it got to the point where I decided that this was the only place I wanted to study.
-
After I joined the Pre-sessional English Language Programme, I had the chance to practise and develop my language. This enhanced my ability.
