Royal Holloway has earned a world-class reputation for developing original research. Our students join a community in which academic staff are working at the frontiers of their subjects, and degree courses, interdisciplinary programmes and specialist research centres reflect current thinking and the latest developments.

Research is enhanced by successful relationships and collaborations with industry and commerce. Royal Holloway continues to play an important role in the economic and cultural profile of the South East region, and in South West London. Thriving business partnerships provide a platform for productive links between the College, multinational corporations and local enterprises. Through WestFocus, a partnership between higher education, the local community, and businesses in South & West London and the Thames Valley, the College encourages the exchange of knowledge and skills available in the region.
