Postgraduate Degree with Global Impact

At postgraduate level, our programmes are designed to equip students with advanced subject expertise alongside analytical, research and professional skills.

Our students consistently benefit from small classes and close relationships with peers and professors. The academic experience is personalised, encouraging confidence, discussion and intellectual growth. Students value the diversity of perspectives in the classroom, learning alongside peers from different countries to deepen debate and broaden understanding.

Faculty bring extensive real-world expertise, complemented by guest speakers from industry throughout the Fall and Spring terms - from London and across the globe. Postgraduate students are actively encouraged to network at these talks and university-wide events, strengthening professional connections alongside academic development.

Many programmes are partnered with industry and include skills-based internships or experiential learning opportunities. Integrated service-learning and professional engagement allow students to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts, enhancing employability and career readiness.

Graduates leave Richmond not only with academic knowledge, but with global awareness, adaptability and the confidence to succeed in international careers. They also join a thriving global network of more than 19,000 alumni worldwide.

Student Life in London

Richmond students can explore everything London has to offer throughout their studies. From museum visits and theatre trips to day excursions and social events such as pub quizzes, there are numerous opportunities to connect with classmates and experience the city’s cultural richness. Recent trips include visits to the renowned Frieze art exhibition, an international study journey to Istanbul, and meeting an MP at Westminster Parliament.

On campus, students can participate in volunteer and careers fairs, clubs and societies, business project exhibitions, student screenings and sports sessions with the Richmond Sports Association (RSA) at the nearby Brentford Leisure Centre.
