About the university

Why students choose Robert Gordon University

An Aberdeen university with a strong record on graduate employment, shaped by the regional energy industry across engineering, and with well-regarded health and pharmacy schools.

Both direct entry and foundation or pathway routes are available here. If your grades or English score fall short of direct admission, the pathway route is a genuine alternative to waiting a year.

Tuition, entry requirements and intake dates differ by programme and change each year. Ask us for the current figures for the course you are considering rather than relying on published averages.
