About

With a vision to be a leading liberal arts university, Richmond offers students an unparalleled education in London, blending two of the finest education systems in the world. The University’s mission is to educate and inform future generations by providing them with the knowledge and support to think critically, the freedom to challenge assumptions and the skills to work with others. Richmond American University London (RAUL), established in 1972, is a unique institution with a mission to educate and inform future generations by providing them with the knowledge and support to think critically, the freedom to challenge assumptions and the skills to work with others. It is the only US university where all degrees are both UK and US awards. Our liberal arts education empowers students to solve problems, adapt, and collaborate. It not only imparts versatile skills and in-depth knowledge but also shapes students into dynamic professionals ready to excel in diverse career fields and meet the evolving demands of global employers. But a liberal arts education doesn’t just provide great employability. It also enhances students’ personal and social development, providing them with self-confidence, self-understanding and a sense of social responsibility. A liberal arts education at Richmond American University London can foster those qualities and skills, providing choice, freedom and diversity. We offer a small, lively and international community at our campus in Chiswick Park, west London. Our engaging and supportive faculty encourage students to explore what interests them personally, and student wellbeing is our priority. Our diverse community of around 1000 students benefits from award-winning student support, small class sizes, high contact hours, integrated internships and service-learning opportunities, and dedicated highly qualified academic faculty. The high standards of teaching and academic support at the University have been recognised in the UK 2023 National Student Survey (NSS) results where 95 % of Richmond final-year students said that teaching staff supported their learning well. Our undergraduate students gain comprehensive knowledge across a range of disciplines and develop this through specialisation in a major with the option to study a minor. We also offer a range of postgraduate programs tailored to meet the evolving needs of the global job market. At Richmond, students and faculty come together to pursue creative thinking and social responsibility - a powerful combination that inspires positive change for the world.
