Study Abroad at Richmond
Richmond invites students who prefer to complete their studies in their home country to come and experience Richmond and London, the world’s top student city, for an exciting Summer, Semester or a Year.
London
London is a vibrant and dynamic city to live and study in. Richmond offers a wide range of programmes in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Business and the Arts. A full list of our programmes can be found here. So, whether or not it is classes in International Business, an Internship with a London-based fashion PR agency, or a history class touring the city’s museums and galleries, there are plenty of opportunities for you to experience. Study Abroad students are also encouraged to participate in the life of the University, from university-organised trips (around the country and across Europe), clubs & societies to fantastic social events, such as International Night.
As the first university in the world to be accredited in the UK and the USA, all of our programmes are for US/UK/ECTS credit, which should easily transfer back to your home institution, though we advise that you check with your home institution before enrolling into any programme.
