Richmond American University London (2024)

Situated in Chiswick Park, west London, Richmond American University London is a unique institution, global in outlook and in practice, diverse and cosmopolitan in its culture. A leading private and not-for-profit institution, the University is dually accredited in both the United States, by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, and registered with the Office for Students in the UK. Our students receive both UK and US degres, bringing together the best of British and American higher education.

We offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in business and the humanities. Generous scholarships across all programmes make studying more affordable.

A diverse community of around 1000 students benefits from award-winning student support, small class sizes, high contact hours, integrated internships and dedicated, highly qualified academic faculty.

Every degree student has the opportunity to complete an accredited internship as part of their programme. Richmond internships are supervised, career-related work experiences, combined with reflective academic study that help students apply theoretical knowledge in the workplace. Students can also develop contacts which may prove valuable in creating future employment opportunities, and gain confidence in their capabilities and their employability.

Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable faculty provide an international learning environment which is enhanced with highly qualified guest speakers who share their industry experience and advice with students. This small and lively community creates a highly personalised and supportive environment for students.

Our liberal arts education for undergraduates empowers students to solve problems, adapt, and collaborate. It also prepares students to become the types of employees organisations want to hire. But a liberal arts education doesn’t just provide great employability. It also enhances students’ personal and social development, providing them with self-confidence, self-understanding and a sense of social responsibility. A liberal arts education at Richmond can foster those qualities and skills, providing choice, freedom and diversity.

Internships

Every degree student has the opportunity to complete an accredited internship as part of their programme. Richmond internships are supervised, career-related work experiences, combined with reflective academic study that help students apply theoretical knowledge in the workplace. Students can also develop contacts which may prove valuable in creating future employment opportunities, and gain confidence in their capabilities and their employability.

Study abroad

We offer students the opportunity to study abroad with our partners in New York, Shanghai, Melbourne, Wellington, Athens, Brussels, Paris, Florida, Buenos Aires, Seoul, Madrid and many more places around the world. Students are able to study for a summer, a semester or a full year abroad and then transfer their credits back to Richmond to complete their degree, all without the need to pay for expensive international fees or adding extra time to their programme. This gives students an exciting international experience to help them seek employment after graduation. Please refer to richmond.ac.uk for a full list of our international partners.

Peer mentoring

Every year a group of committed and involved students become peer mentors, working closely with the faculty and helping to guide first year seminars. The scheme benefits both parties; the new students are able to talk to someone who knows what they are going through, and the mentors improve their personal and communication skills while enhancing their CV.

Peer tutoring

We also like to encourage peer tutoring. Students who have excelled in a subject and have received a recommendation from a professor are able to tutor other students. The peer tutoring service is free for students.

One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme.
