The University also holds US degree-granting authority from the State of Delaware under accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.

Richmond has also undergone a successful full institutional review by the UK Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for high standard teaching and has also been recognised as a leading international university of 2016 by the Higher Education Review.
