Situated on one of the most beautiful campuses in the UK, the University provides facilities that will have a real influence on your capacity to learn. Our teaching staff has an outstanding reputation for quality and academic research, and our track record in graduate employment is amongst the best in the UK. Our range of degree courses includes online degrees and traditionally taught courses in diverse subjects such as art and design, management, and engineering. Resonating through our culture is the desire to foster collaborative relationships with local, regional, and global communities to develop socially responsible citizens and promote ethical behavior.

Robert Gordon University has a heritage going back 250 years, and it was granted university status in 1992. Since then, the University has gone from strength to strength, proactively engaging with businesses in developing many of its degree courses and meeting regional and national needs at a time of constant change and development. As a result, we have a reputation for producing graduates that are highly sought after by employers. Today Robert Gordon University delivers more than 300 courses to over 16,000 full and part-time students from 130 countries. Over the last decade, we have consistently had one of the best records of any UK university for graduate-level employment. We were quoted as the top UK university for graduate employment by the Higher Education Statistics Agency in August 2015.

While such accolades are pleasing, there is never scope for resting on our laurels. A £135 million construction project at our Garthdee campus was completed in 2015 and provides our students and staff with state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities. This includes a new library and formal and informal learning and social spaces for students. This development gives the University and our local community some of the best facilities in the UK. Indeed, the Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey, published in 2016, quoted RGU as being third equal in the UK with Oxford University for our facilities' quality.
