Richmond University - The American University in London (Richmond Hill Campus)

Great place to stay while visiting London in the summer of 1980! A bit of a train/tube ride to central London, but a very relaxing fun commute. The rooms were a typical dormitory college room, but who spent a lot of time in your room when all the hotspots of Soho were at your service....

Do NOT attend or waste money on this university. They are struggling financially and instead of being transparent they cancel classes out of the blue less than 3 WEEKS before classes start. They even sent out an itinerary just a few days before they canceled. I QUIT my JOB for this and spent thousands of dollars for NOTHING. They are a JOKE. This is unacceptable and unprofessional and just morally wrong.

Richmond is a great place to work, it feels like a really diverse, friendly, international community. We’ve got really exciting times ahead in 2022 with a move to a new campus in Chiswick Park, accommodation available for our students in IQ Haywood House in West Hampstead and we are celebrating our 50th year. Great that our students put Richmond as one of the top five London universities for satisfaction levels in the quality of the course in the 2021 National Student Survey (NSS).

University is dubious. 4750 pounds was paid after gotten a conditional admission into the school in 2020. Candidate decided he will go with another school. Richmond University refuses to refund the money .

As a student from the UK already this university isn't one its more of a college or secondary school. So if your going to uni for that experience do not go here. As its a liberal arts award there are a mandatory amount of courses you have to apply for here and when registering for your classes the 1st term might be great but then the uni starts making you do courses that are unrelated to your course and you will still have to complete them. All the courses are 4 years which include your foundation degree however if you have already passed your English and Maths GCSE it won't matter because you have to redo both anyway. This university has a high drop out rate of UK students and its not worth the hassle going here, they do have a lot of benefits when you research into it but all those benefits don't add up to you actually enjoying your time at university. Make sure you really consider all other options before coming here. I made that mistake! And do not be fooled by the scholarship that they offer you, yes you get your tuition fees lower but your education and learning is more important, so don't just focus on the fact they they will offer you a scholarship because they offer that to all of their UK students so more of them will go here.

After four years of study would overall recommend attending this university.

Atmosphere, is a bit special I most say.. due to the high level of international students attending the University.

Classes are overall not crowded which enables us students to express our thoughts and debate appropriately with the teacher and other students.

Some teachers teach very selfishly or with a strong accent making it hard to understand some subjects, you really have to self-teach some subjects.

Help finding a job post graduation or internship options are very limited or reserved for a few.

I would advice to take full advantage of the Financial Times subscription offered with your student email!

Excellent campus, the teaching staff there was amazing, as they put the needs of their students first, and make everyone feel welcome at the school. I was delighted by my experience at this fine university, and if you are considering this as a choice for your education I definitely recommend it.

Passing by, I took the liberty of going into the gardens to look at the architecture. The building is really beautiful. Made me consider finding a course just so I could study there!
