A thorough preparation for your higher education at Royal Holloway
The International Year One is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree and will prepare you to seamlessly transition into the second year of your chosen degree course at Royal Holloway. Specifically designed for international students, this two-semester programme focuses on introducing you to the key concepts of your chosen field of study, while also improving your spoken and academic English.
This programme is open to all students who have completed local high school education. If you are looking to study a degree abroad and would like to be fully immersed in the university life and culture beforehand, the International Year One is here to help.
There is an additional term of English Language Preparation available for students who do not meet the English language requirements for this programme. The English Language Preparation will run from September 2020 for the January 2021 intake onwards. Check our entry requirements for more information.
