Study Abroad & Freshman Students

Richmond invites students from all over the world, and especially our partner universities, to study abroad with us and experience London for a semester, year or summer before returning to their home institution. All of our programmes are for US/UK/ECTS credit, which easily transfer back to your home institution. As we are the first UK university to be accredited in both the UK and the US, celebrating internationalism and diversity is what we do best. For this reason, we were awarded the Advancing International Education Award in the Independent Higher Education Awards 2022.

We also offer a range of exciting for-credit internships and have a 100% placement rate for all students who are registered on this programme.

Some students come to us to complete their entire freshman experience in London. We have existing partnerships in place with a number of US university partners, including: University of Southern California (USC) Transfer Applicants & Fall Admission, Southern Methodist University (SMU) and Tulane University. Often students who are waitlisted at these universities wish to partake in a freshman study abroad option instead of deferring the start of their university acceptance at home. So, if you are a current or prospective student at one of these partners, this is your chance to cross the pond and study what makes you passionate, here at Richmond. If your university does not have an established partnership with us, you can still apply to us directly.

Apply as a Study Abroad Student

There are two ways for students to apply for a Study Abroad experience with us.

Please make sure you are able to supply the following documents before making an application:

• A 500-word statement explaining why you wish to join Richmond and what you hope to gain from the experience
• Official transcripts or certified original copies of all university work to date (in English)

Award-winning team

We are proud to have an award-winning International Programmes team, winner of the Advancing International Education Award in the highly prestigious Independent Higher Education Awards 2022.

This Award recognised the team’s work in assisting Ukrainian students to continue with their studies after the invasion.

The range of free initiatives included room and board for refugee students over summer 2022, organising online classes with university partner Ukrainian American Concordia University for students still in Ukraine, setting up full year tuition scholarships for students to come to London, and working with our housing partner on free accommodation.

Independent Higher Education is the UK membership organisation and national representative body for independent providers of higher education.

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.
