15,000 – strong, Richmond’s alumni network spans the globe and connects former students from all walks of life, professions and interests. The university is proud of its alumni, their achievements and the difference they make to society with their unique personalities and backgrounds.

Richmond’s Office of Financial Assistance is available to help students access a variety of funding programs including Scholarship (academic merit based) awards, Grant awards and Student Loans to assist students with meeting their fees and living expenses.

It is important to remember that in nearly all cases, scholarships and financial assistance will only cover a portion of the annual tuition fees. You will need to meet the rest and all other costs, yourself.

Eligibility for the programmes varies greatly based on the student’s academic standing, nationality and level of financial need.

The University is committed to support candidates to further develop their English language skills to succeed in our academic programmes.

If you are interested in finding an alternative to the IELTS English Test, please see below for details of the English Language Level Test (ELLT) which is offered by the University in association with Oxford International, together with a Preparation Course for the ELLT.

The test and courses on offer are designed for international and European Union students who want to improve their English language skills and familiarise themselves with studying at university before starting their studies.

This includes:

• Students who wish to prepare for university study and have met their English language requirement for their main course at Richmond
• Students who do not meet the English language entry requirements for their chosen university programme
• Students joining as part of an exchange programme (eg Study Abroad)

They give you a creative study environment with a range of library resources and services, all designed to meet your needs.

The aim of the University library is to support the educational mission and social development of Richmond American University London by providing and promoting bibliographical, physical and intellectual access to resources appropriate to the current and anticipated teaching, learning and research of the University’s community.
