Empowering Future Leaders Through Innovative Education
Why Choose Richmond American University London?
You Leave With Two Degrees, Not One
Every Richmond student graduates with both a fully accredited UK degree and a US degree from the same studies. The UK qualification comes from Richmond's own degree-awarding powers; the US qualification from Middle States Commission on Higher Education accreditation.
Internships Count Toward Your Degree
Most universities treat internships as something you do in your own time. At Richmond, internships carry academic credit. Undergraduates from Year 3 can complete an 8-credit internship as part of their degree. Postgraduate students do the same in their final semester. Placement providers include Absolute Internship, CRCC Asia and Global Career Center, with options in the UK, US, Europe and Asia.
93% of Graduates in Work Within Six Months
That figure comes from Richmond's own graduate tracking, and the employer list backs it up. Graduates have gone to EY, KPMG, PwC, Bloomberg, BlackRock, UBS, Google, IBM, the House of Commons, Vice Media, NBC News and Al Jazeera. For a university of 1,100 students, these are meaningful connections, not aspirational names on a brochure.
Small Classes and Real Access to Faculty
With around 1,100 students across all programmes, seminars are genuinely small. You are not one of 300 students in a lecture theatre. The liberal arts structure also means you take electives outside your major, which produces graduates who can think across disciplines — something employers in consulting, finance and media consistently value.
Campus Inside a Working Business Park
The 2022 move to Chiswick Park put Richmond's campus inside an active business hub home to global companies. Central London is 20 to 25 minutes away. The location is not incidental — it is a deliberate way of embedding students in a professional environment from the first day they arrive.
