About
Richmond American University London is a private university in London, United Kingdom. Richmond was founded in 1972, by British educator Cyril Taylor.
The university awards US degrees from the American state of Delaware, where Richmond is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Until 2018, Richmond's UK degrees were awarded by the Open University; but from the 2018/2019 academic year, Richmond has been able to grant its own UK degrees, after having received Taught Degree Awarding Powers from the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education. This means that all students at Richmond gain both a UK and US degree studying one programme.
Despite its title, the university no longer has a campus in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Its academic campus is now at Chiswick Business Park, in the London Borough of Hounslow, and its sports campus in Leeds in Yorkshire.
