Students' Union Royal Holloway University

Who we are

The people that work for RHSU don’t just do it for a paycheque. No, they’re passionate about being part of something big, part of an organisation that creates change on campus and delivers huge events on a weekly basis.

Based on a campus set in 135 acres of parkland in Egham, the Students’ Union is a student-led organisation that represents over 10,000 students at Royal Holloway University. The University recently achieved a silver award in the Teaching Excellence Framework outcomes; was ranked 197th in the World and 31st overall in the UK in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2017/18; and achieved a rating of 88% for overall student satisfaction in the 2017 National Student Survey (NSS). Believe it or not we’re actually a charity. Why does this matter? Well it means that any money we make through our trading or membership services gets reinvested into services that help students during their time at Royal Holloway. That covers everything from funding societies to running national voter registration drives.

Our mission is simple: we’re here to make student life better at Royal Holloway. Our strategic plan runs for the next two years having been launched in 2016 and focuses on delivering the following five aims:

Improve Students' education

Make Campus fun

Look after students' wellbeing

Make students more employable

Empower students to change the world
