Richmond American University London, 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 RAUL 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, 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.
Courses and Fees
We currently offer 27 undergraduate majors across Business, Computing, Arts and Humanities, Media and Communications, and Social Sciences. Undergraduate students take Core Curriculum courses in applied and interdisciplinary liberal arts alongside courses related to their chosen major. Students can major in a primary subject of their choice, complemented by a wide range of electives for more choice.
Additionally, students can opt for one of 26 'minors'. Our campus in Leeds provides a one-of-a-kind international sports management degree alongside high level coaching and training.
All our degrees offer students the opportunity to take a for-credit internship, providing both valuable experience and a competitive edge post-graduation. In addition to our focus on academic excellence we also aim to enhance students' personal and social development, ensuring they are ready for a future of work, public service or personal development.
