Richmond runs a rolling admissions procedure for all its degree courses.

What happens next?

Once all required documents have been submitted for review by the admission committee it generally takes four weeks for the admission office to return a decision.

All students, regardless of their financial background will be considered for academic merit scholarship based on their previous academic work. Upon admission to the University a student is expected to make a preliminary deposit to the University which will secure the student’s position in the new entering class.
