Quality, Teaching Standards & Accreditation

American & British Accreditation

Richmond, the American International University in London is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and the only university in the UK to award students with two degrees in 1.

The University has been recently granted a taught degree awarding powers (TDAP), giving UK higher education providers the right to award bachelor’s degrees with honours. This new chapter represent an exciting beginning for the institution, that previously used to award its degrees by the Open University, the UK’s largest academic institution and a world pioneer in distance learning.

Upon successful completing their studies, students graduate with a dual degree, which is valid in U.K. and recognised in the U.S., a unique opportunity that opens up more work opportunities globally.

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.
