Dear current and prospective students,

You will be aware that there is currently significant activity and change taking place in US higher education and the way it is managed and administered. At Richmond, we always prioritise the needs of our students, so it is appropriate that we advise you we have reviewed the situation carefully, and that the risk of a limitation to the US award, and/or to the associated ability of US students to receive US federal aid (such as Title IV) has increased. Please be reassured that we are working with the relevant US authorities, in Washington, the State of Delaware, and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, to protect both funding and our unique dual award.

We do not foresee that the situation in the US will impact directly on your UK award, which derives from powers granted by the UK Department for Education and regulated by the Office for Students in England and Wales.

What our students think

“My experience was radically different from my classmates. I lived an hour away, I worked three jobs and completed two internships all while in the program. Mostly I made friends with people in my community rather than at school.

My experience was far from typical, even gruelling at times. But I walked away having lived the best version of studying abroad and becoming the best version of myself–growing as a person, as a student, as a critical thinker and a writer. I loved Richmond and owe so much to this experience.”
