The Department of Student Affairs

The Department of Student Affairs is here to help develop leadership skills that will enable students to excel in a global environment and to foster appreciation, sensitivity and respect for ethnic diversity and tolerance for cultural and individual differences.

Visit The Department of Student Affairs webpage.

The Office of Student Leadership

The Office of Student Leadership offers a wide range of services and programs to promote student leadership, encourage personal development, and provide social opportunities. Student leadership can be explored through participating in clubs and societies, working as an activities or sports assistant, volunteering as an Orientation Leader, or getting involved with the Student Government.

University is about much more than in-classroom studying. Our motto is ‘unity in diversity’ providing internationalism and the London experience. Belonging to a club or society, setting up an enterprise initiative, taking up a volunteer placement, or participating in a cultural trip builds well-rounded, mature and responsible individuals who go on to make a positive difference in the world.

Supporting special activities

We at Richmond believe that the out-of classroom experience is vital to developing well-rounded, thoughtful, and creative global citizens. We provide special annual events like International Night and Springfest, activities like educational trips across Europe and the United Kingdom, as well as a programme of volunteering opportunities in the wider community.

These activities enrich the student experience, encourage commitment to the values the University hopes to engender in all of its students, and help students gain the skills and experience they need to start their careers and become global citizens.

Since the start of the pandemic, the Theatre and performing arts industry has taken a heavy toll so starting this year, we aim to host a variety of fund-raising events in which part will be donated to the West End Theatre Support fund.
