Robert Gordon University has a lot going for it. Not only is Garthdee one of the most beautiful campuses in the UK, it also provides facilities that will have a real influence on your capacity to learn.
What’s more, our teaching staff have an outstanding reputation for quality and academic research and our track record in graduate employment is the best inScotland. Our range of degree courses include online degrees as well as traditional taught courses in subjects as diverse as art and design, management and engineering.
Today Robert Gordon University delivers more than 300 courses to over 15,000 full and part-time students from 120 countries. Over the last decade we have consistently had one of the best records of any UK university for graduate-level employment and we were quoted in The Times Good University Guide 2011 as the best modern university in theUK- for the third year running.
While such accolades are pleasing there is never scope for resting on our laurels. The next stage in our development will see a £170 million construction project at our Garthdee campus which will provide our students and staff with state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities. This will include a new library, and formal and informal learning and social spaces for students. The first phase is due for completion in 2013 and will give the university and our local community some of the best facilities in theUK.
The university has invested significantly in research activities, dramatically increasing both the number and quality of our researchers. We are the best modern university for research inScotlandwith world leading work being undertaken in eight of the university’s key research areas.
Three research institutes have recently been launched to build on this success and further develop the University’s research standing.
The right course may be a major factor when choosing a university, but the social scene is just as important. This is the place where you’ll make friends and professional contacts which can last for life.
RGU has two campuses: Garthdee, beside the River Dee and home to our £10m sport centre; and the City Centre Campus, location of the Student Union and the base for Freshers’ Week, societies and year-round events.
