Drama with Acting, BA Hons FullTime

I can't say much about the job prospects or teaching qualities as I'm in my first year and I'm basing this off what I have been doing the past 3 weeks. I think the lecturers are very passionate about what they teach. I also do feel that it is substantial to what I believe a university student would need to learn. However, I'm not sure why the fees for international students are way more expensive compared to the locals. I feel that I have to make full use of all the money spent.

Physics with Music, BSc Hons FullTime

Royal Holloway is one of the very few universities which provide this interdisciplinary course and allows students to pursue both passions simultaneously without missing out on either side. Although the course does lean towards a slightly more physics based content, the many music societies and events available balances this out. read more

Believe it or not, it is really rubbish. And the supervision is biased. Mostly importantly asked me to pay fees and then asked me to withdraw and then only refunded me portion of fees. Ridiculous services. read more

Personal tutors were brilliant. Very helpful with any struggles. Contact hours are good as it means you have so much time to do all the prep for seminars such as reading and rehearsals. Definitely get to a show bi weekly it'll make all the difference. Course tutors can be difficult but you learn to understand the way they teach. Anne Varty we love you read more

It's really interesting and fun. All the students I have met at this uni have been incredible! The exam, however, does not get explained a lot and it can get confusing. Overall the content is spread out and great! read more

I think they need to get more organised when finding an equal divide between English and Drama. However, all the lecturers are funny and upbeat, the seminar leaders are all very friendly and incredibly passionate about the subject and there's a great divide between practical drama and theoretical drama. Sometimes it feels like I'm in a sociology or Politics lecture because the lecturers find a way to connect those subjects with drama which is fascinating. Although the uni is small and so the number of students are too, you still learn an awful lot from your peers. And join the shakespeare society... it's brilliant!! read more

I've loved my first year, studied a wide range of things. Some don't seem to be relevant but I think it will make more sense over the next two years. Fabulous tutors. I would say there was only one tutor who I really disliked. Lots of support available, personal tutor automatically allocated and foundation tutorials are a huge part of the first year curriculum. read more
