Our Mission To achieve our vision, Rayat London College provides an excellent, state-of-the-art well funded learning environment in London;
Why RLC?

Our Enterprise Culture Rayat London College (RLC) promotes enterprise. Our culture is entrepreneurial – we promote personal, corporate and cultural change by acting creatively and innovatively in all we do.
OUR EDUCATIONAL MODEL RLC conceives of learning as a strongly mediated human activity. It is the process whereby people draw upon the resources of their environment, and their own faculties, to promote fresh understanding. Our educational model is student centred. We encourage the development of inter-personal skills while mastering critically a corpus of knowledge and its associated methodologies. We prepare people from all backgrounds, across the broad sweep of a common learning curve, to meet their immediate needs for knowledge and prepare them to contemplate and manage future worlds. The result is a human being who can meet and resolve often conflicting demands. The RLC graduate is a proactive leader, an enterprising person with high ethical standards and a commitment to serve mankind.

Our programmes are designed to be relevant for today and the likely needs of tomorrow. Augmented by visiting speakers from the world of business, field trips and other direct encounters with the world of work our learning achieves state-of-the-art functionality and strong contextual relevance.

Conscious that our students will graduate into the highly competitive global job market we prepare them with the necessary skills to succeed. Our tutors are mindful that learning can be an exciting and enjoyable experience and seek to cultivate the ardent love of learning in every student. We always guard against the many challenges our students face and help them to cultivate their own strategic responses to life’s often conflicting demands.

USHA GURUNG, Nepal, BA Business Studies “… it was a long way from the mountains of Nepal to the heights of learning here at RLC. I made it and aim to graduate BA (Hons) Business Studies very shortly…”
Dinesha Rajapakshe, SRI LANKA, MBA 2010 “… as a banker I had worked in Sri Lanka and London. To advance my career I looked around the many MBAs in Europe and chose to study at RLC. I found the facilities and staff support outstanding and thoroughly enjoyed my time at the College. I recommend Rayat London College’s MBA to all students. It enabled me immediately after I graduated to get a senior position in a UK London-based finance company…”
Filomena Martins, Angola, Professional Programme “…My experience at RLC has been fantastic. The atmosphere is really friendly. The staff and lectures all are helpful and we have so many facilities.”

The Challenge Undergraduate courses At this level of learning the student is typically introduced to the foundations of a discipline, developing the necessary knowledge and skills to first describe, then compare and contrast and finally to critically evaluate a body of extant knowledge. The key challenge is to arrive at a comprehensive understanding of the subject as it exists and to perceive how that knowledge might be extended.
Postgraduate courses Typically, postgraduate courses exist to allow either (a) an in-depth study to be made of a discipline already known to the student, or (b) a study to be made in a discipline unknown to a student who is a graduate in another discipline. Importantly, our Master of Business Administration degree (MBA) is a masters’ programme designed to give people who are, or aspire to be, managers the academic knowledge and skills necessary to enhance their management practice. As well as from graduates, we welcome applications from those who by working have equivalent knowledge and skills. Rayat London College is also keen to receive applications from those who would like to undertake doctoral studies leading to the completion of a research-based thesis.
Professional courses As the name implies, these courses prepare our students for the business professions such as banking, accountancy, marketing and human resource management.
