Motivating and Supporting Application Experience

My experience applying for this programme has been positive and well-structured. The application process was clear, and the programme information was detailed, making it easy to understand how the course aligns with my academic interests and career goals. I appreciated the clarity of the programme structure and the continious updates on my application, which gave me hope that this is an ideal opportunity. The university’s international and student-centred approach also made the process feel welcoming. What can be improved: More guidance on the use of student’s portal. Overall, the process was smooth and encouraging, reinforcing my interest in studying at Richmond American University London.

Average

The classroom sizes were small so I got a very personal learning experience, however, this also came with its drawbacks. As someone who loves to learn about new cultures, the limited number of students, especially during COVID-19 times, made it difficult for me to meet new people with interesting perspectives. Additionally, I had some bad experiences with teachers where they were unavailable outside of the classroom. As such, I had to teach myself the course.
