What our students say

“As a visiting undergraduate student from Randolph Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, USA, I had an amazing experience at Richmond. During the time I spent at Richmond and in London, I grew academically and personally. Throughout my time, I studied fashion marketing, mass communications, public relations, and advertising. These were areas in which I had no previous experience and valued the ability to study new subjects in a new city – London. Its location as a major communications and fashion capital drew me to the city.”

“My time in Richmond was one of the best times of my life, not only because of its location but also because I’ve had the best teachers in my entire university degree. I can also say that you will find friends for life, and that there is always something to do in London!”

“I would recommend the programme to other students. It has been the opportunity of a lifetime, gaining independence, accelerating personal growth and meeting people from various parts of the world. I absolutely loved my time here.”
