Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and helps you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.
We have our good days and our bad days. It's a love-hate relationship, as I think with most universities. But overall I appreciate their efforts to always try to improve things that students complain about. When you ask for help, most of the time there is at least one person there that is going to do their absolute best to try and help you.
One of our campuses have shut down because of Covid, but the one that stayed open is still pretty great. Tends to always be clean, has a bunch of equipment. But some of the on-campus accommodations can be a bit of a mess.
Overall it's pretty good. It seems they thought of everything, it's great on paper but I guess on practice it doesn't always work that well. Some professors can be very harsh on students with mental health issues, but whenever you seek help from the actual counsellors and therapists, they always try their best to help. There is always someone to go to for help. If I'm not mistaken they have been working on making some of the areas of the university more accessible for people with disabilities (some already were, but they were adding things).
Recently we've had mostly online lectures, but most of the professors have been very understanding of student's scheduling issues due to it being an international uni (meaning a lot of students have been taking the online classes from home in different countries/different time zones), and recording every lesson, making powerpoints with audios in it, and trying to be available for as many office hours as possible. The beginning of our "pandemic studies" was a but of a mess, as everyone was trying to adapt to the different ways of learning now, but as time went on, my university has really adapted well and provided quite a lot of help to the students who were struggling.
In my case it's a bit tricky as I'm not from the UK (as most of the students at the University), so there is only so much they can do to help with jobs after uni. They provide a lot of help with internships and career support during your time there, but not much can be done for after.
No
Overall, after being a student at Richmond, I would not recommend this place to anyone as it cannot provide real higher education, but they will stuck you in their programs in a certain way that will be hard for students to transfer elsewhere so Richmond will profit of students money.
Very small library
Nice location (London), and nice staff. Unfortunately not a well organised place with a poor registry service which employees unprofessional and inexperienced people . Bad online teaching, with no set techniques to follow; every teacher make its own way, or at least they try. Overall, this place is not at levels of other universities.
They have mandatory internships in all programs, but they don’t provide any. Perhaps, you need to organise your own internship and pay the university to give you academic credits to be granted your degree
One of the best aspects of studying at Richomd is the double accreditation by both UK and US academic commissions and the flexibility of selecting classes and minors. I really enjoy studying at Richmond and I greatly recommend it.
Overall quite well, the IT equipment could be a little more modern. University is currently using blackboard and its own portal for grades and organisational measures. There is a mobile app in the works.
University has Student Affairs available to deal with enquiries. All organisational queries are easy and quick to solve.
Richmond is a vibrant, elegant and safe part of London. Richmond Hill campus is located a short walk from the gorgeous Richmond Park. Kensington Campus has a much more metropolitan feel. Transportation to both campuses is reasonably good.
In-class teaching, with blended teaching during the pandemic. Courses incorporate Blackboard, teaching materials provided for all courses. Academic support is good thanks to personal tutors and a low number of students

Richmond alumni are employed in companies such as EY, Bloomberg, Deloitte, PwC, Citi Bank, HSBC. Alumni continue their studies at universities such as London Business School, King's College, City University. We have great guest speakers such as the LBMA Chairman and ex-executive of Bank of England Paul Fisher. Careers office is great and very helpful with work-related matters.
Its been wonderful, the teachers are great, they are very supportive the faculty is friendly easy to approach and well versed with the subject. A lot of people from the industry visit and give you insights
Pretty good
Very nice
Yes in the center of London
Lobe the classes pattern and hate the schedule

They help with it
Pretty horrible besides being in London. I am a visiting student here from the US and it is very much different from what I expected. It is very small, but if you like that you might like it here. The living conditions are bad; I had mould and I still have spiders in my room. Overall, I could not go back for another semester.
Pretty outdated and gross. The boys bathrooms are sort of nice though because they have gotten redone. The laundry room only has 5 washers and dryers, of which only 2 actually work.
Haven't explored these options, but probably bad.
Richmond is about 45min - 1hr from central London. The town of Richmond is quite nice.
One of my professors is absolutely horrible. He won't even allocate time to meet with his students! Also he just doesn't teach and doesn't know what he is teaching. He also doesn't reply to his emails. The rest of my professors are fine

its non existent, they charge 1000 for arranging an internship with average companies and the woman in charge of internship has a superiority complex.

NOTHING GOOD, student union is bad, especially the woman in charge is an absolute joke.

THE PROJECTS GIVEN REALLY HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND THE INDUSTRY AND THE GUIDANCE FROM PROFESSORS MAKES ME CONFIDENT FOR INDUSTRY
I've really enjoyed my course so far and look forward to seeing what the next year of it will bring. I think University in general is one of those things where, if you take advantage of the opportunities you're offered and really get into your subject, you'll likely enjoy your time more and get more out of the experience, particularly at masters level.
The ones I've experienced have been or have had what I've needed- there's a cafe and canteen, and there's a library with good online resources as well.
Each postgraduate degree has a course convenor, so you get support from them and interact with them regularly. There's a careers portal, counselling services for free if you require them, and student affairs encompasses residential life (if you're part of it), internships, and clubs/societies, amongst other things.
London is a great (but expensive!) city, and the campus for PG is in Kensington, which is ideal.
The classes are small, so if you are willing to put the work in, you can get a lot out of them and learn a lot, which is great. You do either one course per semester or two, so the contact hours are dependent on that!

As a postgrad, there's a careers portal and an opportunity to do an internship as part of your degree. Your course convenor for your programme can also be very helpful on this front.
The part-time MBA program has been excellent. I've been able to manage a tricky schedule with work and study, through small class sizes and a supportive faculty who are always accessible. The course content has been up to date and relevant to my goals, and I've enjoyed applying learning points to my immediate job. It's been challenging in the right way, and a very positive experience overall. Highly recommended.
The Kensington campus could use some touch ups and freshening up, but the classrooms are all OK and there are good study spaces and a nice library. The location is superb in one of the nicest neighborhoods in central London, in my opinion, and near to many museums and other cultural attractions. The Richmond campus is nice as well, and near Richmond park, but the MBA side is at Kensington.
This is five stars. I'm on first name basis with all the faculty, who are experts in their fields. They are always available for help/questions. I do like the small size of the university, in this respect. It feels warm, accessible, friendly, and casual in a good way.
It's London. It's awesome. Great diversity, super intelligent, stimulating, international. What's not to like? Free museums, easy travel in/out through Gatwick and Heathrow. I love it.
Small class sizes are excellent, and the faculty are always accessible. I also like the Kensington location for the MBA modules. The university also has a Richmond campus, but the MBA modules take place in Kensington.

The faculty for the MBA are well connected and students who choose the internship option have had good success in locating high impact internships.
It's been absolutely great. Richmond is a wonderful place to study and I'm getting so much out of my degree - I'm really glad to have made the decision to study here. I can already see how the MBA will positively impact my career trajectory and am looking forward to life after graduation.
It varies. There are some good bits and some where some enhancement would be good. But the university is so good that I forget the bad bits.
Student services are so approachable - they've gone out of their way anytime I've needed help. And when I was applying, the admissions team were super-responsive and great about answering all my queries.
the university is based in Kensington which is a great area. the shopping is really good and the parks are just round the corner. Lovely location
The lecturers go to great lengths to ensure all students understand the material and are all so accessible outside of class. Because the class sizes are small, the lecturers get to know you and are able to personalise the teaching. The lecturers also bring in some great guest lecturers. I've really enjoyed all my lectures.

The university is great at promoting employability by ensuring we have regular interaction with employers, by facilitating internships and by using lecturers who are active in the industry. These lecturers are often quite successful and so are able to bring their experience to the classroom which has really helped me understand the business environment (since I'm from a non-business background).
Other students also liked these unis - you might too!
