One thing you can’t take away from RGU is the wealth of helpful resources. The system is conditioned to make you choose excellence over mediocrity. The people are warm, friendly and excited to answer the “little” questions. One week in and you know you’re in the right place. The induction we had made me feel less nervous and that shows RGU has each person in mind, knowing everyone has a unique background.

RGU provides a very conducive environment for students to learn. The flipped learning approach gives room for student engagement during course tutorials. RGU is continuously giving me the ability to gain practical skills and knowledge that are directly applicable to my chosen field.

Law and Management BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

Great all round university with great balance of city and rurally located. Transport wise, its great within city. Although, it lacks proper parking for rurally located people (where public transport is not an option/viable option) as requires permit. To resolve this, a multistory carpark could be implemented or more bus links/shuttlebuses from locations outside of the city. The lack of public transport outside the city is a problem anyway, so may be worth considering relocating to city for duration of course. With regards to course, having already been a student previously, there are a lot more support systems in place to help aid students. Moreover, compared to other universities, the staff are more than happy to help. The small knit feel of the University and the city provides a homely lifestyle, easily and effortlessly. This is only furthered by the diversity of culture within the city and shire. The union is great, the staff are approachable and friendly. From initially becoming a student to my time here now, however, the union seems to be downsizing. I feel that this is an absolute shame as it provides an independent aspect to life as a student. It, in my opinion, has reduced the quality of student life as it miminises a student voice, independent of the university. That being said, there is a great range of mental health facilities in place now to enhance student lifestyle auch as free gym membership for students.

The university offers a comprehensive student support services, students can book sessions regarding improving study skills, IT skills, counselling and more. There is also a student help point where students can seek help for generalised support like living in Aberdeen. The campus sets along the River Dee with a lot of greeneries along, I particularly like the view from the library. Facilities are always clean and there are simulation labs for healthcare students. The student union are also active in organising events including RGU Many Nations to celebrate the cultural diversity in the school and the Breakfast Club on every Tuesday. There are a range of societies and sports club from academics to hobbies, I enjoyed the campus life a lot. The school is also accessible by bus 1 and 2 to city centre.

My initial thoughts about coming to RGU have most definitely exceeded my expectations, now half way through my undergraduate degree. I have been highly impressed with the additional support teaching staff provide to students and the dedication they have to ensuring that we get the most out of our learning experience. Something that makes RGU unique as a university in Scotland is the emphasis on the practical skills aspect of our learning and developing our skills and practical applications of our learning to prepare us for the workplace. The university as a whole creates a social and welcoming environment to students and emphasises the importance of the social aspect of university, with an immense range of extracurricular activities to get involved in and I think as students, it is great to see that the university values our needs out with our learning and taking time to relax and escape from the stresses that studying can bring at times.

University rating (4)

RGU is a contemporary university located on the outskirts of the city, offering a peaceful environment for students to study in. The campus is situated alongside a river, which provides a great opportunity for students to unwind and relax. Each building is equipped with modern facilities, including computer labs and study spaces that are accessible to all. The library is a highlight of the campus, with its modern and quiet space offering a stunning view. It's also convenient that students are allowed to bring cold snacks and bottled drinks into the library, so you do not need to walk out every time you crave a snack or coffee.
