Richard Badge grew up in the historic port city of Plymouth, United Kingdom. In 1989 he went up to study Pure and Applied Biology at Keble College, Oxford University. He then went on to complete a PhD in the evolutionary population biology and molecular genetics of fruit fly transposable elements at the University of Nottingham. After a postdoctoral period in Nottingham he secured a Wellcome Trust International Travelling Fellowship to work on human transposable elements at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. He completed his Fellowship in the Department of Genetics, University of Leicester in the group of Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys FRS.
