Robert Gordon University
|
RGU is a modern university of over 13,000 students. The city-centre campus at Schoolhill is the hub of student social life; a second campus lies a mile away at Garthdee. The emphasis at RGU is firmly on vocational and professional courses, and a wide range of placement options is on offer, both here and abroad. As a result, RGU has one of the best graduate recruitment records in the UK. In the past decade, the university has invested over £100m to improve its facilities. A further £110m investment is planned over the next few years to make the Garthdee site the best riverside campus in Europe. Aberdeen is a smart and pleasant city with a cosmopolitan and rather wealthy feel to it, thanks to the impact of North Sea oil. It's affectionately called the Granite City after the primary building material, and it really does sparkle in the sun. |
