Support for international students

 Royal Holloway's campus provides a supportive environment in which students live and study. All students at Royal Holloway have access to extensive welfare support| through the Student Support and Advisory Services and academic support|.

Studying in a foreign country can offer students new and interesting challenges, and Royal Holloway offers specialised support to international students to help you meet these challenges positively.

English language support

If English is not your first language, you may find it harder to meet the demands of understanding complex lectures and seminars and writing assignments. The in-sessional English language courses provided by Royal Holloway International aim to make you a more confident user of English for academic purposes.  Find out more on our English language support| pages.

Support & advisory services for international students

The International Student Support team is a dedicated team who provide support and advice to all international students from the moment you arrive in the UK. They arrange a free airport collection service at the start of your course, and are on-hand to assist you throughout your time at Royal Holloway.  Find out more on our Student support services| page.
