Subject to eligibility, it can help to cover the cost of living, travel and exceptional costs while abroad. Contact Maggie Burton in our International Programmes team for more details.
International Accredited Programmes
Before an institution can offer programmes that lead to a Richmond UK award, the institution must go through the process of Institutional Approval. This process ensures that Richmond’s validation partner institutions meet the required set of principles covering structures, management arrangements and procedures, and demonstrates it is trusted to provide a satisfactory environment for the delivery of programmes leading to a Richmond UK award.
