The university awards US degrees from the American state of Delaware,[6] where Richmond is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.[7][8] Until 2018, Richmond's UK degrees were awarded by the Open University; but from the 2018/2019 academic year, Richmond has been able to grant its own UK degrees, after receiving Taught Degree Awarding Powers from the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education.[9] This means that all students at Richmond gain both a UK and US degree studying one programme.
