About us

We'reeeee back! 

We have 4 main aims for this year: 

1. Create a structured and organised society that will once again hold its place as one of the top societies at Royal Holloway. 

2. Provide exclusive opportunities for members to further their academic careers. 

3. Create a safe space for students to communicate openly, make friends, and be a point of contact for those struggling with their well-being.

4. Create a balance -  University work is tough, so we want to create a space where both psych and non-psych students can chill, and fall in love with the subject again.

Please be in contact with us with ideas for events and programmes which you may be of interest to you. 

Membership

There is a single-tier system, so all memberships cost the same and will have access to the same events. Your membership fee contributes towards planning and executing events, to ensure that members are having the best time possible. 

Events and Activities 

This year, we'd love a balance of both social and academic events and feel free to show up to any that float your boat:)  

Every single week, we host a 2 hour study session to help support students, you can pop in for 5 minutes or stay for the whole thing! This is the time that students can come in and have a dedicated room to study with friends, in silence or even ask the commitee any academic questions you may have!

Some examples of academic-oriented events include:

• Academic talks both inside and outside of Holloway
• Networking events 
• Events geared towards learning 'real life skills' 
• Workshops including 'Im stuck on the SAME grade' and "WTF is coding" 

Some examples of non-academic events: 

• Presentation nights where members come with pre-planned topics, or improvise a psychology-themed presentation from randomised topics.
• Events centered around parts of psychology you always wanted to explore! E.g relationship psychology – ‘did that movie couple actually have problems or just bad communication?’ 
• Mental health focused events including walk-and-talks, moodboarding and anything you'd love to do to destress!!
