About RHUL Students' Union

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.

The Students’ Union has two main sources of income – an annual grant from the University and the income generated through our trading services. We are a charity and a not-for-profit organisation. All surplus generated within the organisation is reinvested into the facilities and services provided across the organisation for our members.

Our mission is simple: we’re here to make student life better at Royal Holloway.
