Studying at Royal Holloway involves a lot more than just learning about your subject.
While you’re here, you’ll start to become an expert, learning to research, think, learn and communicate in ways that will equip you for many different future roles. This process is exciting and is likely to transform and shape you, but it should also challenge you.
These videos and activities are designed to prepare you for this journey by helping you understand what to expect from university-level study, some of the reasons for these approaches to learning, and how to prepare for your university course. You should also look at the pre-arrival pages for your department.
