What our students say
I feel honoured to be the first EDC Paris’ visiting student at Richmond University and I know I’ll keep this memory all my life. Orientation week was amazing and gave me the chance to meet many people from around the world. I learnt a lot in my classes at Richmond as well as during discussions with open-minded and interesting people whom I met with during events organised by the university.
Studying at Richmond provided me with an unique skill set to work in Project Management at EDF after completing my higher education.
