The perfect place to study! Course is really good and most lecturers are really helpful
A very interactive course, I am quite happy with experience at RGU.
Modern university in a beautiful city setting offering a lot of opportunities to students. I would strongly recommend this uni to those who want to go for serious study options with a little bit of fun
The course is very practical and I am thoroundergraduatehly enjoying it. Tutors are really helpful and supportive
Very supportive, lots of help available, great teaching staff who go out there way to help you. The city itself is also great with a wide range of activities for everyone.
I would recommend applying to RGU. The campus is modern and not difficult to get to, and all the buildings are close together which is great. The sports facilities are pretty good too, and they offer loads of exercise classes etc. The halls I'm in are good, but I can't wait to get my own flat.
Excellent education.
Aberdeen is a great student city as it is small with two large Universities therefore the nightlife is excellent. However, I would not recommend Robert Gordon University. It has, without doubt the worst union which no one uses because of this. The marking scheme is awful, and makes no sense to even the lecturer's. The lecturers have favorites and some courses have personal tutors but others don't for some reason. The University is very expensive for food, and it is far out of the city. First buses are awful, charging ridiculous amounts for students as they know they have to pay for the bus to go to uni. There is no parking at uni for students also. During and after uni the the careers center don not give you any help, you are on your own to find a job. My course, Fashion Management was very cliquey and no one spoke to people who were not in their friend group. Moreover, if you can not afford to move to London then there are no job opportunities given to you.
University is great, good fun and lots of banter. The social aspect is incredible, nothing better than having fun with your mates. The clubs and societies are awsome, amazing fun and there are sometimes inter club nights out which are good too. My course is fun and i love the people in it, the lecturers too.
Really regret it wish I had the balls to move away and go somewhere more exciting with better developed courses


RGU is the top modern university in the UK and I have absolutely no regrets that I joined this uni. I had a great time here and don't want to leave
