Royal Holloway Passport Award

What is the Royal Holloway Passport?

Passport-A4-v--Pippa-02The Royal Holloway Passport Award Scheme enriches the student experience and enhances the employment success of our graduates

It’s a skills award that highlights the achievements and contributions made by students beyond their academic accomplishments.  

Students are awarded points for the completion of a range of activities, such as volunteering, tutoring, or offering educational support - or for having positions of responsibility such as becoming a Student Union committee member or a course representative.  

There’s something to suit all tastes - whether it be singing in the chapel choir or promoting biodiversity. Towards the end of the Passport Award process, students attend a coaching session to reflect on the skills they have developed and learn how to articulate them to potential employers.  

And their success in gaining the award is celebrated in style with our annual Passport Award ceremony!

Employers tell us that although they value a good degree, the graduates who really stand out from the crowd are those who have developed the range of co-curricular skills required to become successful employees. 

Through the Royal Holloway Passport Award Scheme you will have the opportunity to participate in new activities, reflect upon some of the things you’re already doing, develop your employability, and learn how to showcase to your future employers the transferable skills which they so highly value. 

  • Develop the employability skills employers are looking for.
  • Learn how to sell yourself in a competitive job market.
  • Receive a Passport Award certificate celebrating your achievements.
  • Gain recognition for the difference you make at university and in the local community.

"It helped me to realise that everything I do at university makes my CV that little bit better. It will allow me to achieve more in my career than I would possibly do otherwise, and allows me to realise that my university does value me.”  Ciaran Gilbride, BSc Earth Sciences.
