Campus Library and Resources
The aim of the University library is to support the educational mission and social development of Richmond American University London by providing and promoting bibliographical, physical and intellectual access to resources appropriate to the current and anticipated teaching, learning and research of the University’s community.
Our library is at the heart of university life where the ‘studying’ part of uni takes place – so that’s why we’re open late during teaching weeks and particularly at exam times.
The library gives you a creative study environment with a range of library resources and services, all designed to meet your needs. Please refer to our Library Policy for further information.
