The courses available include, AS and A2 Levels, International Baccalaureate and BTEC National Diploma. The College was formed in 1977 by a merger of the sixth form colleges from Shene and Thames Valley with the former Twickenham College of Technology on its site. The college now has around 7,000 enrolments, with 4,000 of these full-time students. The college has its own sports hall and parking for both staff and students. There are various food outlets located within the college including Glades and Redwoods cafe. The college has its own security team who check students ID at the gates and patrol the college. Although the college offers many facilities, some buildings are dated and in some disrepair. The college offers almost 600 courses of different levels. Partly due to its large student size, Richmond upon Thames College sends more students to university each year than any other institution in Europe.
