    Hi! I've been compiling my list of potential schools and I've decided that Richmond is definitely an option. However, since I live in the U.S I was wondering if Richmond makes any unique accommodations for international students, such as shipping belongings ahead of time?

        I see that you offer a psychology program which is what I am interested in, along with criminal justice. I live in the U.S. and was wondering if there was any financial aid. Also, I was wondering what the acceptance rate is and what would be good for me to start doing now to better my chances of being accepted.

          Hi Alex! Yes, we do offer psychology, but we do not offer criminal justice. You can read more about the Psychology degree here: http://www.richmond.ac.uk/undergraduates/ba_psychology.asp
