Why study abroad?

Studying abroad is now much more than just an academic experience: it's a real catalyst for personal and professional development. For a Belgian student, studying in another country allows them to acquire essential skills in an increasingly globalized world.

First of all, studying abroad offers a unique cultural exposure. By evolving in a multicultural environment, students develop their adaptability, autonomy and their ability to work with international profiles — qualities highly sought after by employers.

Furthermore, an international study experience will allow you to significantly improve your English skills, a key skill for many professional sectors in Belgium and Europe.

Furthermore, studying outside Belgium provides access to different teaching methods, often more interactive and practice-oriented. These approaches effectively complement Belgian university systems and enrich the academic experience.

American University in London: the guarantee of a double degree

Founded in 1972 as Richmond College, Richmond American University London (CAML) has become Richmond American University London, offering a wide range of study programs. Accreditation for these degrees comes from two sources: the United States, through the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and the Open University (the UK's leading distance learning institution). Ultimately, Richmond University London graduates with degrees that provide excellent international mobility, opening doors for them on two continents.

A second major advantage, particularly for European students, is the financial aspect. Richmond, American University offers scholarships to European students to reduce tuition fees.

Richmond, American University London: an American campus in London

Richmond, with its traditional campus just a stone's throw from central London, is a small university. Indeed, it admits no more than 2,000 students each year. This allows it to offer small class sizes and therefore exceptional student support.

The University of Richmond has two campuses, in Richmond Hill and Kensington. Both offer guaranteed accommodation for first-year students. You will also find pleasant and comfortable facilities, allowing you to study in optimal conditions. These facilities include:

  • gym,
  • university restaurant,
  • coffee,
  • Wi-Fi

This campus offers you the opportunity to live in the same conditions as an American student. This is thanks to the facilities available to you, as well as the numerous student clubs and associations that contribute to the university's vibrant atmosphere. And all of this, in the English capital.
