what's the cheapest accommodation? the halls don't include how much the food will most likely come to, so it makes it look like they're way cheaper than the flats even though at other unis that's often not to case.
thanks in advance 😊

Hi dartagnankillian,

Our least expensive options are within the Founder's Building for a shared room that is either with our without a wash basin and is a catered hall of residence. This means that you'll have access to a pantry with a sink, microwave, kettle and toaster but aren't expected to cook your meals here. All catered students are given a 50% discount to the dining halls so a main, side and drink would cost around £2.50. Some students choose to make breakfast and lunch in the pantries and only eat in the dining hall for dinner, but it's a pay as you go system so you can choose how often or not you eat there.

While the accommodation fees aren't confirmed for September 2019 entry, you can get an idea of the range of fees on our website here.

Hi Susanna. My daughter received an offer from RHUL in November and signed up for this Saturday's applicant visit day, but has still not received any details. She wrote to RHUL on 17th January, but only received back a holding message saying details would be sent nearer the time. Please can you advise if details will be sent before Saturday? Thank you.

Hello! I hold an unconditional offer for PPE and wondered if it would be possible for me to change my degree to Economics/ Economics and Political Studies.
Also, the website says 'flexibility to graduate with a BA/BSC in PPE' what would determine a BSC?
Thanks

Hi basbousa,

I would recommend emailing our Admissions team as they will be able to assist you with this. You can email them at [email protected]. With regards to the difference between BA and BSc, this is determined by which modules you decide to take during your studies.

Great Uni though, my sister went.

HI I am very worried about something. I requested to change my degree from PPE to Economics with Political Studies, and indeed it changed on UCAS but my previous offer had no EPQ requirement and now my offer states that I need to get an A in the EPQ? I am extremely worried as I told my teacher today that I wanted to drop it. I really don't know what to do.
