125th Anniversary
Welcome from the Principal
the business community and playing
a major role in economic success. We
also take pride in our cultural influence,
and welcome visitors to share in the life
of the College through public lectures,
concerts and open days.
Royal Holloway is an innovative and
forward-looking place. Today we
maintain the pioneering spirit of our
founders in a fast-moving world, and our
global network of alumni is a legacy of
the wealth of opportunities we continue
to provide.
Thank you for your interest in
Royal Holloway.
Professor Paul Layzell
Principal
I’m delighted that you are considering
joining our staff here at Royal Holloway,
University of London.
I feel sure you will be impressed by the
excellence of our academic programmes,
our superb campus environment and the
close-knit nature of our community.
The University of London degree is
highly regarded worldwide. At Royal
Holloway we bring together talented
students in departments where
academic staff are working at the
frontiers of their subjects. Through top-
class research, international networks
and local outreach, we are advancing
knowledge and serving society in many
different ways.
Royal Holloway is a powerful force in
the region, building partnerships with

Royal Holloway was founded by
the Victorian entrepreneur and
philanthropist Thomas Holloway in 1886.
The self-made multi-millionaire made
his fortune in patent medicines and,
after initiating a public debate inviting
suggestions as to ‘how best to spend a
quarter of a million pounds or more’, he
took his wife’s advice that a college for
women would prove ‘the greatest public
good’.
Royal Holloway College, largely inspired
by the Chateau Chambord in the Loire
Valley, was opened by Queen Victoria
in 1886. The Founder’s Building, which
is built around two quadrangles and
includes a beautiful gilded chapel
and picture gallery, is one of the most
spectacular university buildings in
the world.
Thomas Holloway was not the first
Victorian visionary to realise the benefits
of an education for women. Elizabeth
Jesser Reid, a pioneering social reformer,
founded Bedford College in 1849 as
the first college in Great Britain for the
higher education of women. In 1900,
Royal Holloway College and Bedford
College became part of the University of
London and became the first institutions
in the UK to award degrees to women.
Both Bedford and Royal Holloway
admitted male undergraduates for the
first time in 1965, but their commitment
to women’s education remained. The
1982 partnership agreement between
the two colleges, signed as a result of
severe cuts in government spending on
higher education, paved the way for the
merger in 1985.
Our history

The Information Security Group is one of the largest security groups in the world. Its
research includes the protection of critical infrastructures, systems, networks and device
security and protection.
Royal Holloway today
More than 9,000 talented students
from as many as 130 countries are taught
by staff working at the forefront of
their subjects.
As part of the University of London,
Royal Holloway degrees are highly
regarded and lead to top careers world-
wide. College alumni who currently
occupy prestigious roles include EU
Foreign Minister Catherine Ashton,
Botanist and environmental activist
David Bellamy OBE, award-winning
actor Mark Strong, and international
opera singers Dame Felicity Lott and
Susan Bullock, to name a few.
This teaching and academic excellence
is reflected in Royal Holloway’s league
tables and rankings, where the College
was placed 102nd in the Times Higher
Education World Rankings published in
September 2013, placing us 12th in the
UK and 36th in Europe.
Royal Holloway continues to offer first-
class education and is acknowledged
worldwide for its innovative, ground-
breaking and pioneering research across
the arts, humanities, sciences and
social sciences.
Set in 135 acres of Surrey countryside,
the Egham campus offers a close-knit,
friendly village community. It is the
character and location of the campus
that attracts scholars and students.
The magnificence of the Founder’s
building with all its historical grandeur
is surrounded by modern academic and
sports facilities, including the state-of-
the-art Windsor Building, demonstrating
the blend of tradition and innovation.
The College has an excellent teaching
record, delivering a broad range of
traditional subjects and cutting-
edge modern courses in 18 academic
departments which are arranged into
three faculties: Arts and Social Sciences;
Management and Economics;
and Science.

Director of Library Services
John Tuck joined Royal Holloway in
2008 as Director of Library Services.
Previously, John had been Head of
British Collections at the British Library,
a role which included close work with
Royal Holloway on projects in the field
of theatre and drama collections. John
has wide experience of a number of
libraries, including his role as Deputy to
the Director of University Libraries and
as Bodley’s Librarian at the University of
Oxford. As Director of Library Services
at Royal Holloway, John is responsible
for the management, operation and
development of the Bedford and
Founder’s libraries, ensuring the services
and content meet the needs of all
students and staff.
“The joy of working at
Royal Holloway lies not just in
the wonderful environment
but in the opportunities and
challenges provided by the
students, academics and
researchers who throng the
Library and use its services. Their
patterns of behaviour may have
changed as the printed word
gives way to digital content but
their enthusiasm, interest and
intellectual curiosity get ever
stronger. This is what brings
job satisfaction.

We are placed amongst the top
research universities
Across each of our academic disciplines,
we will have high-quality staff and at
least one distinctive, world-leading
research specialism, along with high
levels of performance within the UK
REF assessment exercise. All our taught
courses will contain elements that are
informed by cutting-edge research and
scholarship and our research students will
be guided by world-leading researchers.
We take full advantage of our size and
flexible structures
We will grow our student numbers
from 9,000 to 10,500, whilst retaining
our overall human scale and sense of
community, so that we can continue
to respond flexibly in a changing
environment and work effectively across
organisational and disciplinary structures.
We work collaboratively with key
partners to achieve greater mutual
benefit
Whilst our scale and culture mean that
we can sometimes achieve more than
some larger organisations, other activities
will require greater scale and resource.
We will be open and collaborative so that
we can work with key partners to ensure
the best us of our resources and achieve
more than we can do alone.
Our campus environment stimulates,
inspires and refreshes
Our inspiring and imposing Founder’s
Building will be complemented by
outstanding new facilities that add to
the sense of a scholarly community,
encourage collaborative, multi-
disciplinary activities, and provide a
personalised, individual experience for
students and staff.
The College Strategy, launched in
September 2013, describes the future we
are working towards, and the challenges
we must respond to, over the next seven
years. The higher education environment
will continue to see significant change,
including greater competition for
students and challenge from new
providers. In a changing environment it
is important that we have a clear sense
of shared purpose, accompanied by an
ambitious set of objectives that will stand
us in good stead to thrive. We want to
be sure that Royal Holloway is making as
significant a contribution to the world’s
research and education then it has for
every one of our preceding 164 years.
Our vision for the future informs the
choices that we make, so that we are
certain that, in every case, our actions
are bringing us closer to our goals. We
intend to realise our vision by both
building on our existing strengths and also
setting in place a number of fundamental
improvements to a range of areas.
Together, these actions will create a
university that, by 2020, will look like this:
Our strengths and achievements are
known worldwide
Royal Holloway will be consistently
recognised as a top 20 UK university
in major league tables and we will hold
our place amongst the world’s top 200
universities.
Our students are independently-
minded and socially responsible leaders
We will attract independently-minded
students who will benefit from a
personalised education. This will enable
them to fulfil their potential, by achieving
academic excellence, being prepared for
the world of work, having a global outlook
and having the confidence to lead in a
socially responsible manner.
