on 29 January.
For students interested in going to university whilst starting their career at the same time, our Flying Start degree programmes give them the opportunity to do just that. Studying at university they’ll get to experience the full-time student lifestyle, but with integrated paid placements at PwC, they’ll have some money to enjoy it too. They’ll gain a degree, and hopefully impress us enough to secure a graduate job with us after they graduate.
We have Flying Start programmes in Accounting and Technology students who are interested in applying can find out more and apply here.

Flexible Admissions for 2021 Undergraduate Entry
Students' education has been disrupted during the pandemic and you may be worried about the impact this will have on your ability to meet our entry requirements. In order to support students due to sit their exams next summer Royal Holloway will be introducing additional flexibility around entry grades this year. If you gain an offer to begin a course at Royal Holloway in September 2021 (or defer entry to September 2022), we guarantee to confirm your place when results are published in August 2021, even if one of your final A-level grades is one grade lower than the offer which was made to you through UCAS*. If your course requires you to achieve a subject-specific result, you will still need to achieve that grade, and (if relevant) your original English language requirements will still apply. If your offer is based on a different qualification such as IB, BTECs, Scottish Highers, Welsh Baccalaureate, or other international qualifications, we will give you the equivalent flexibility as students taking A-levels.
