Personal support

We are renowned for our friendly and caring community and have dedicated services to help you get the most out of your time here.

Wellbeing support & guidance

Our triage service provides advice and guidance for all students to support a balanced lifestyle and positive personal wellbeing. Advisors provide support on a wide variety of wellbeing issues and will signpost students to specialised services internally and externally.

Disability & Neurodiversity

We support students with disability, neurodiversity, chronic medical conditions and dyslexia and are accredited to supply DSA support. We’re here to advise on reasonable adjustments that can be made to ensure accessibility to services (including accommodation) and academic courses. If you think you may need provision like this, we recommend you seek advice from us before enrolment.

Mental health

We have advisors who specialise in supporting both students with a mental health condition and those who have emerging mental health challenges. We work closely with local NHS teams to provide holistic support.

Counselling

Our professionally accredited service offers personal, emotional and psychological support in a confidential, non-judgmental and friendly setting. We help with a range of issues including stress, anxiety, cultural issues, relationships, sexuality, alcohol and drugs. GP surgery on campus

We have an NHS-managed service available to students living in halls or the local area. The medical team provides all standard NHS GP services and is responsive to the needs of a student community.

Hall Life team

The team promotes a happy residential experience for students living in Royal Holloway accommodation and organises social events.

Financial wellbeing

Our advisors provide guidance on budgeting, loans and working while you study. They can also provide financial assistance through the Study Support Grant.

International student support

The team supports students who come to the UK to study at Royal Holloway, providing advice on living and studying, including immigration and visa advice.

Multi-faith Chaplaincy

We are a multi-faith community with many different beliefs represented on campus and excellent cooperation between faiths. The Multi-faith Chaplaincy team is available to everyone regardless of faith or belief and can provide information about student-led faith societies and provision for worship. On campus we have a beautiful ecumenical Chapel and a Muslim Prayer Room.

Students’ Union Advice Centre

The SU has Student Support Advisors available to provide housing and academic information and advice to students.

“I was supported by the Disability & Neurodiversity team, who assessed my needs and put in place specific exam access arrangements for me to ensure I had an equal chance to succeed in my assessments. I have since become a Specialist Mentor alongside my studies supporting students navigate through the many challenges associated with their own university experiences.”
