Career services
The University offers personal development seminars, leadership opportunities and access to work experience, volunteering and internships. There is also a dedicated, personalised service for assistance with CV writing, interview preparation tips and much more. Throughout your studies, you will have the opportunity to build links with industry experts and Richmond alumni, connecting you to a vast and influential worldwide network.
Peer mentoring
Every year a group of committed and involved students volunteer to become peer mentors, working closely with the faculty and helping to guide first year seminars. The scheme benefits both parties; the new students are able to talk to someone who knows what they are going through, and the mentors improve their personal and communication skills while enhancing their CV.
Peer tutoring
We also like to encourage peer tutoring. Students who have excelled in a subject and have received a recommendation from a professor are able to tutor other students. The peer tutoring service is free for students.
