Royal
Holloway, founded in 1885, is one of the University of London’s
six largest Colleges and is home to more than 6,000 undergraduate
and postgraduate students on over 100 different degree courses.
Its students come from all areas of the United Kingdom and from
more than 60 other countries.
Royal
Holloway is one of only a few colleges nationally which is allowed
to use the ‘Royal’ title. Its full name was Royal Holloway and
Bedford New College, a name which reflects a long and distinguished
history: in 1985 two colleges of the University of London, Bedford
and Royal Holloway, came together to form the present college.
Bedford College was founded in 1849 as a university college
for women. Royal Holloway opened in 1886 as a women's college,
named after Thomas Holloway, its founder. Male undergraduates
were admitted for the first time in 1965.
