Featured College

Richmond, The American International University in London

Richmond degrees are accredited in the US and validated in the UK and thereby acknowledged worldwide. Richmond was the first international university to achieve this dual accreditation.

The London Experience

As well as the excitement of living in one of the world's most lively and cosmopolitan cities, London offers spectacular resources and opportunities for learning outside the classroom. Richmond's courses also bring the life of the city - its people, institutions, politics, problems and history - into lectures and class projects. Add to all this an international faculty, flexible curriculum, small classes and campuses in two of London's most beautiful areas and you'll find Richmond a great place to earn your college degree.

Richmond Hill Campus

First and second-year students attend the Richmond Hill campus. The campus is set in a splendid six-acre site at the top of Richmond Hill, one of London's most sought-after areas. An impressive neo-Gothic building constructed in 1843 and a modern five-level library, house classrooms, and computer and science laboratories. The campus also accommodates student residences, a dining hall, student common room, and faculty and administrative offices.

Within easy walking distance are the Royal Albert Hall, famous for its concerts, the Royal Colleges of Music and Art, Imperial College of Science and Technology, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Geological Museum and many cinemas, cafes, restaurants, clubs, and department stores.
