What are Peer Guides?

Peer Guides are current students who provide new students with practical guidance and helpful resources to new students during their first weeks as a Royal Holloway student. They can also signpost new students to other university services if they have specific queries or concerns.

What is the Peer Guidance Scheme?

We recruit and train second and final year undergraduate students, as well as continuing postgraduate students, to help guide new undergraduate students through their first few weeks at Royal Holloway. 

The relationship between Peer Guides and new students is informal, non-academic and provides a non-judgmental level of advice and guidance about being a student at Royal Holloway. If necessary, the Peer Guide will refer students who need more structured support to one of our specialist Student Wellbeing teams.
