Richmond College was founded in 1843 and remained a part of the University of London until 1972, when Richmond, the American International University in London was established as an independent, not-for-profit liberal arts university. Richmond University has two campuses in London and this allows our students to experience two sides of the capital, the beautiful green borough of Richmond upon-Thames and cosmopolitan Kensington.

Richmond?s distinctions include offering liberal arts undergraduate degrees that are accredited in the United States and United Kingdom. We offer the best of both the US and UK higher education systems: the US focus on the liberal arts and the British system of specialisation. At Richmond University we are devoted to offering an outstanding quality of teaching.

We are proud of our achievements in the National Student Survey (NSS) and the Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DHLE).
