I love RGU. Facilities and measures have been put in place to make life in the school, education and stay in the UK easier.
Highly recommended facility and People are really nice. Wanna give a shout for TAha, pal had been great help always.
Taha has been great since the beginning, supported with the issues always 😊. Definitely vouch for him.
I’m currently staying in spring gardens and have been feeling a bit lonely but the staff are very nice especially Mary she is very funny and nice to me
RGU is a good university. However, they can improve facilities such as wifi and organizing more events for students to interact.
Really nice so far and not had many problems at all. The lecturers are very helpful.
Good Uni, enjoy studying here. Would recommend to other students
Overall, an average campus to get along with studies.
Campus very nice and clean. With great staff
Good uni, modern building and great staff team.
My experience in here is very good. The maintenance staff is very quick. The reception staff is very friendly and helpful. I am enjoying my time here.
Excellent, no issues. Staff always happy to help
Very good staff Very clean Good learning environment
Friendly environment , helpful kind staff. Lovely big library. Good WiFi. Lots of space to sit and study. Lots of computers too.
Could be more supportive with study resources
Great for healthcare subjects, I have enjoyed my time here
Great place to study & lots of facilities for when out of uni.
Attending Uni has been an enriching experience, thanks to its dedicated faculty, diverse student body, and vibrant campus culture. The academic programs are rigorous yet rewarding, preparing students for success in their chosen fields.
Amazing Staff at rgu health sciences, reception always ready to help if needed.
Great University, I recommend!
Great school and good facilities
Rgu is good, quite far from city centre that's all. XD
Good experience so far. Great friendship builder. But it has some things that should be improved like the elevator from the architecture building, which is always broken, and the wifi connection is quite unstable.
The receptionist sre so welcoming and friendly. They are always holding events to try and get to know students and help student make friends. They always do nice facilities like the social space and the study room. And the accommodation is very close to university so you could walk to school.
Satisfied with the uni, only difference would be to have even more sports clubs than there already is
Nice environment but low social interaction
Having a wonderful experience. The teaching and administrative staff are very helpful.
Good place to be and work, not much to complain about
I have really enjoy my time here. It has been an easy transition as an international student.
Very nice campus, everyone very friendly
Really enjoyed my first year at rgu, excited for the next to come
If the price is still 119, then this is the cheapest one the design of ensuit rooms is very good, enough room in the bathroom and toilet and enough room to put the laundry rack beside the window. The table in the room for study is also large and the shelf allows more stuff to be placed. at the ground floor, the common room is big enough for everyone to have fun. and very short walk to RGU.
Enjoyable experience and nice to experience the diffrent culture
Caledon Court has probably been the best place I have ever stayed in. It is homely, comfortable, has amazing staff, and is very close to both RGU and Asda. I highly recommend staying here for your first year of Uni.
Good campus, staff helpful, good location
Its rgu. The uws of the North.
RGU is a worthwhile option to anyone wishing to study in Aberdeen - with friendly staff and an amazing food stall (in the Ishbel Gordon Building) it's got the basics down. The staff are helpful and consistently ask for any feedback for the course making you incharge of your own learning. Plus, the student jumpers are so comfy you could sleep in them.
Nice university with good facilities
The university is a good educational institution. The school is also very particular about joining school unions and preparing for one’s future profession(s).
Pretty much everything good. Could be better
A best place to learn equipped with good infrastructure.
Great modern campus. All buildings are close so don’t have to walk far to get from each building.
The faculty is knowledgeable and supportive, fostering a culture of academic excellence. The campus is modern and well-equipped, creating an engaging atmosphere for students. Overall, a good choice
One of the best location.peacefull and supporting staff.
Very clean and modern. Most of the staff are nice.
Good uni, great future aspects.
Close to bus and easy to get to and from uni.
good university to go to, im in fashion management and already there’s been so many offers and opportunities within and outwith the course that i feel ready to go into the work world. The placement and study abroad options are so accessible and the modules are perfect for those wanting to go into the fashion industry just because the experience from them is so helpful.
Love it at RGU, it has been a dream of mine from a young age. It has fulfilled that dream and more, it’s a great campus with great facilities
nice clean modern campus, supportive lecturers.
RGU has been an experience, has my first year is starting, I found to be enjoyable,. The staff here are very supportive and patient when they where dealing with my queries about the campus and it's features, they are very responsive to my needs when had any and where able to help me with personal issues I have. The course I'm embarking on is one that many would consider challenging, fortunately the teachers of RGU are willing to guide me, they provide information about where all the materials can be gathered and answer any questions I may have about the course and it's course work. Overall so far I'm pleased with my experience at RGU and I would recommend the university has place to study and grow.
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.
RGU IS WITHOUT DOUBTS ON THE SPEED LANE IN THE BUSINESS OF EDUCATION AND EDUCATING. WITH HER VALUE ADDED CORRICULUM AND CUTTING-EDGE TEACHING STYLE AND LEARNING AID COUPLED WITH THE STATE OF THE TECHNOLOGY FACILITIES, RGU IS SURE ON ITS WAY TO THE TOP OF THE EDUCATION VALUE CHAIN AND SOON TO BE NAMED ALONG SIDE OXFORD, CAMBRIDGE, HARVARD ETAL. I HAVE FOUND A HOME AT RGU.
the Master in Digital Marketing program at Robert Gordon University is an exceptional choice for anyone looking to break into or excel in the digital marketing industry. The program's commitment to academic excellence, practical experience, and personal development make it a standout choice. It equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to secure a job in this ever-growing and competitive field. If you're passionate about digital marketing and want to set yourself up for success in the job market, I wholeheartedly recommend considering this program at Robert Gordon University.
Overall a great local univeristy. The questions here are not really fair analysis as it really depends what they are asking for. I couldn't rate the careers service (however had to to complete review) as I have never used the career service. With regards to the union, its great. The staff are friendly, bur the funding or presence is decreasing with time and not improving... this obviously has a knock on effect to the student voice, as well as societies. Internet is dependent on how many people are there etc, but it is a black zone (from my experience) for 4G and cell service.
It’s been a fantastic journey in RGU.
As a student of Robert Gordon University, I can confidently say that my time over here has been truly enriching and fulfilling. The university is dedicated towards its academic excellence, high class facilities, have played a significant role in creating a positive and conducive learning environment.
The campus buildings have a modern look and set along the River Dee, there are different facilities to suit the learning needs of students like the healthcare stimulation labs. There are a range of sports clubs and societies from academics and hobbies, each offers various activities regarding to distinct interests. The student union is also active and organises events including the RGU Many Nations and the Breakfast Club, students can easily contact the student presidents through their office or each of their social medias. As for career, the school organises a career fair annually and there is an employability hub to offer student advice on building up CVs and interview skills, students can also book a consultation session regarding the issue. Wifi connection is great and covers the building premises, there is also a IT help desk for students with concerns on IT issues.
Awesome and amazing experience. I love RGU
It is an amazing university! State of the art facility. The lectures are knowledgeable. There’s diversity and inclusion
Robert Gordon Uni is that Uni every student want to be in. As a computing student, RGU has modern facilities needed to advance my career
Not been here long but have been enjoying it so far. Freshers week was a lot of fun (especially the freshers fair). The facilities seems well maintained too
It’s been beautiful to say the least
The course content for MSc Social Work is top notch!
I love the university it gives opportunities for social and educational development
I haven’t been here for long as I am a new student however I like everything so far
i came as a international student and as long as i had to do too many paperwork, it’s been so good once i came here. i’ve had a pretty good experience so far.
Good place to study and the staff are lovely
Friendly and welcoming members of staff
good facilities and helpful staff
Good uni, lots of support and facilities. Wifi is bad though
I haven’t gone to RGU for long, but I have already fallen in love with the place. The staff are so lovely and kind (especially the receptionists in the main building, those ladies have been lifesavers). The lectures are fun, the library is incredible, the union are amazing and there is so much for everyone to do. The gym is completely free (though it isn’t really my thing) and there are so many societies to join. I am a 1st year law student, and I am so excited to continue here for the next few years. I am so glad I chose RGU. As an autistic student, I find the lecture/class style really works for me - everything is laid out plainly, and support is always available. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone :)
They have advertised a few things for people to get to know each other which is nice.
Rgu is an excellent university.
My experience has been 50/50 within the uni due to still being half online and half in person. The university has the facilities if any enquiries or support is needed. All areas of the university is nice looking and clean. Plenty food and communal areas.
The best uni, very accommodating
Overall great uni! Stunning campus. An amazing range of sports clubs and free sports memberships for students.
For me personally, this university so far has been really great for social sciences and social work. This feels like the place to be if that’s the sector you’re keen on going into.
I'm only just in first year but there doesn't seem to be much going on in campus, there's a free gym membership but the union is lacking, however the facilities are exceptional and the tutors are always there to help
The university is a very accommodating place
Everyone at RGU is super helpful! They are so kind and they literally make you feel like home! The services on campus is outstanding! The lecturers and student Union is here for us!
RGU is an incredible university, compared to where I come from (Malaysia).. Teachings, learning, environment and etc has reached me a lot. I gained so much experience and knowledge from my university and made me what I am today. It was a new experience and now I’m adapted to this environment and experience it’s hard to return back to the teachings in Malaysia. Moreover,. RGU Union has so many clubs and societies to be very interested on. A different level of engaging in both educational and social wise.
This place is amazing!! I love it so much staff are amazing and so close to my campus grays school of art.
As an engineering student the staff are really kind and deliver the content in a really efficient way the campus and facilities are top notch and I couldn't be more satisfied
Modern, very welcoming, a lot to get involved i
The lecturers are all very nice and keep the classes interesting and engaging, the seminars are very open and welcoming which helps build confidence. Some of the classes are difficult to get to but apart from that it's a very good uni.
Great uni, lots to do and plenty of support
I love it here! great place to study and am excited for another year here
The university is full of friendly and passionate staff, the support team is very high quality and the students (especially those on your course) are lovely and welcoming too. The uni has a great atmosphere which supports learning without feeling dull and there’s plenty good food and drink services.
Great space, well done and a inclusive space
Everything is great room is lovely and staff is amazing. It’s a little far from town
Great place to study with friendly staff
Robert Gordon University is a modern campus with a lot of things, experiences and facilities to offer.
I’m an architecture student so all of my classes are generally on the same floor so my experience of the campus is rather restricted but what I have seen is a massive campus, filled with friendly students and staff, with beautiful views onto the Forrest across the river, with many places to eat and a library several floors high.
RGU has brilliant facilities as the gym is currently free to use which is super handy as a student on a limited budgets. There are tons of clubs for every sport, hobby, religion and interest so you can easily find people with similar interests to you. All clubs are active on social media so they are easy to find, and the student union is always posting about events. As for studying, the library is open late and has several floors and there are also computer rooms throughout the university so finding a study space is never an issue. The uni also has prayer rooms for students who require them which is cool.
Campuses are all within walking distance of eachother. Good facilities
Currently doing my nursing at RGU, just finished my 1st year and can be really disorganised.
