All the lectures at my university are all so amazing. They are always on time and give detailed presentations. The campus in my opinion really pretty and all the signs help you get around. When it was my first day and I was nervous to try get to the right hall, it was very easy navigate to.

The campus in general is very modern and beautiful as it is next to the river Dee. As a business student, the study facilities and study areas provided are always sufficient. They also have staff desk areas like IT skills which help students with their computer, printer or WiFi connection problems. Lecturers I have had have been very supportive, providing sufficient materials to study to ensure we get the best grade possible.

A range of places for lunch, easy to navigate the campus after you've been there for a couple of days. Huge library in the Sir Ian Wood building plus gym access in the sports building.

University is in a beautiful quiet location of garthdee in aberdeen. A river runs a long side it allowing you to go for chilled walks in between classes. Unfortunately there is no student union to go for a pint etc which is a real bummer and means lack of places to meet up cheaply with course mates. University is really good at preparing us for jobs and opportunities in the future, highly recommend.

I absolutely love RGU! The staff are great, they are always very supportive and ready to help you as much as they can. The facilities are great, it’s always being updated! There is nothing that RGU doesn’t have that I feel that I or any other student would need! The campus is in a beautiful location, easy to get to from the city centre and I love that all the buildings are on the same location. There is a great choice of food on the campus, and I love that they are always trying to provide healthy food as well as some fast food. I absolutely loved all my time at RGU and I’m sad it’s coming to an end but I’d recommend this university to everyone!

Overall, the campus looks nice. Nice staff and students. Cources ate hard, but the lectures helps a lot. Apart of deadlines, this semester they're so early for Management students. Also it's a good chance to meet erasmus students from other countries and to learn about their culture

Lovely modern campus with many food place options. Good library and computer lab facilities, student help point very facilitating and as much support as needed regarding study skills, careers and learning needs. Student union is proactive. However, do not have a social student union pub which would have been better for meeting other students.

overall fantastic facilities, great library that opened 24 hours during exams, and has a great electronic system, shame there is no where to fill up water bottles without going down 3/4 flights of stairs.. great societies and so many clubs as well as different things going on like record fairs, fashion shows, exhibitions, lectures etc

The course was pharmacy, it was a comprehensive course which offered a range of teaching methods and exercises in order to facilitate the learning. The location wasn't ideal as it is outside of central town and buses are awful.

I have chosen Robert Gordon University for its extensive experience in providing high quality education with a strong alumni and Scotland’s reputation for its quality in Higher education. Moreover Aberdeen is Europe's Oil and Gas Capital, so there are lots of Research and Development work going on in the city and also the prospects of petroleum engineers are very good to the Industry Presence. Oil and Gas Engineering definitely needs specialized talent. At the outset of Global warming and high stringent environmental terms across the world, field throws challenges around innovation in making the field greener. We need cutting edge innovation to deal with such challenges. I strongly believe that my time at university will aid me in understanding technology in a better & bigger perspective, develop relationship with students, professors, companies in this field, network for future prospects, and bring in innovation in the field and by joining the Robert Gordon University. University also provides lots of options in accomodation. All of them are made to make sure student gets would get everything to pursue their study. So I would attempt my next stage of journey towards excellence for their excellent program in Oil and Gas Engineering. I am sure that not only the destination but even the journey would be enlightening. University and Scottish Government also gives Scholarships to the students so that reduce the burden of their Fees cost.

The campus is big and really easy to navigate. Though some buildings can be a little too out of the way to get to. My course has various different aspects to prepare me for any eventuality. However they do not provide a lot of placement opportunities for a digital media student.

Robert gordon university is just great. People there really care about the students and you can find all kind people to get along with. Sports facilities are perfect, there is heating all the time and the tech labs are top quality. Teachers are grrat and there is always someone to speak with if you arent happy with anything.

the campus is a lovely location being next to the riverdee and having various facilities on site, including a gym (which I don't use) a union office which is as involving as anyone could hope for and a library which is well equipped for just about every learning experience. the student experience could stand for abit of improvement thoug especially for international students

Printing for course work could cost well over £100 per simester. A nice new building with lots of open spaces and sitting areas.

I study Media and it is honestly great. The staff are lovely and so there to help. The campus is beautiful, it’s lovely to walk by the river especially in exam season when everyone’s stressed. The student services are lovely and never make you feel silly for your questions.

Very good university. The new buildings are very modern and so is all the technology in them. Only down side is it does not have a union you can go and get a pint from or go to for a night out.

I visited a lot of universities before making my choice. RGU offered so much that it was impossible to not choose. I have been there 2 years now and loved every minute.

The RGU is a very good university under all points of view, everyone is ready to help and would like to enhance your experience at the university, the facilities are amazing, the inclusivity of international student is very good (I am an international student). The RGU gives you a lot of opportunities to learn, develop your career, boost your CV and have fun with a lot of activities

Amazing campus, right by the river Dee so great views all year round. Lecturers are always supportive and tutors make university life so much easier! Cannot fault my time at RGU and recommend it to everyone.

The campus is really nice and modern with plenty useful facilities for students. Only issue is that buildings can sometimes be hard to navigate - rooms can be hard to find, etc. I study PR and am I second year, finding modules interesting however some seem quite unrelated to the course albeit still handy skills to be learning.
