Student review [#23783] for History, Politics and International Relations
at Royal Holloway - RHUL

I so far have thoroughly enjoyed my program; it’s been engaging, fun and at times challenging. The teachers are incredibly easy to talk to and ask for advice which is oftentimes incredibly helpful. The only real criticism I would have regarding my program is the sheer volume of text one has to consume, but that’s to be expected given it’s an intense degree as well as the cost of living given it’s a London university. I do believe the nightlife at the university could be improved although it’s still a lot of fun if you meet the right people! I’d definitely recommend it to others as it’s a fantastic university with great lecturers but if you’re looking for busy nightlife, it’s not ideal. The school has numerous students from across the globe and seems very inclusive. I’m cautiously optimistic about my career prospects as I haven’t finished my degree (yet) but I believe things will work out well. My experience with Royal Holloway is of a great university in terms of academic studies, however, a poor nightlife. That being said, as a student, it is of course possible to create your own nightlife in many ways although it’s not as fun at times.
