Following the Government’s move to the ‘delay’ phase in its response to coronavirus (Covid-19), the university is following the advice carefully.
We currently expect these events to go ahead as planned, and are taking bookings as normal. If it becomes apparent that it is still not feasible to hold these events on campus, an online event will be run in its place. This information will be communicated to everyone who has booked and updated on this page.
Our Open Days will take place on the following dates:
- Friday 19 June 2020
- Saturday 20 June 2020
- Saturday 26 September 2020
- Saturday 17 October 2020
Bookings for the June Open Days are now open, and bookings for the autumn dates will open in summer 2020. To register your interest in our autumn Open Days, click here.
Our Open Days offer you an informative, interactive and personalised experience of what Royal Holloway is really like through a range of talks and tours and the chance to speak directly to staff and students.
Not only will you have the opportunity to hear about our departments from leading academics in their field, or gain advice on what makes a good UCAS application, you'll also gain a more 'hands-on' experience of student life. The freedom and flexibility to attend talks, join our tours, and visit drop-in zones, allows you to plan your day to suit your needs.
If you aren't able to make one of our Open days, we also run a range of campus tours, taster and visiting days throughout the year.
Once you've received an offer to study here you will be invited to one of our Applicant Visit Days, which will give you a hands on experience of student life at Royal Holloway.

Open Day FAQs
Do I need to print my ticket?
You don't need to print your ticket, simply turn up on the day and we will look up your ticket by the name you booked with.
Do my guests need tickets?
No, you won't need to book separate tickets for your guests. Do bring along any friends or family who you would like to share the day with, but please note that in some of our busier talks we may have to implement a one guest per visitor system.
Where can I see the programme for the day?
Our programme for the Open Days will be released prior to the event on this web page. It's a great idea to plan your day and have a think about the talks and zones you would like to visit, but don't worry as you do not have to book any sessions in advance.
How can I change my details on the Eventbrite booking system?
You can amend your booking by logging on to the Eventbrite website by clicking ‘Tickets’ from the drop-down menu under your name, select the ticket and then 'edit'. If you'd prefer, email campaigns@royalholloway.ac.uk and we can do this for you.
