Why Choose Us?

We’ve come a long way since 1750 when the original college was founded at the bequest of Robert Gordon. The University today generates an annual group income of around £92 million, employs 1500 staff and delivers courses to over 15,000 students.

Robert Gordon University is a dynamic, modern place to study with an international reputation for providing professionally focused courses across arts and design, management, engineering and computing, health, social care and the applied sciences and technology.

We consistently maintain one of the UK’s best graduate employment records and we have been aptly branded ‘The Professional University’. Professional guides the way we work and defines what we expect of each other.

We've invested more than £100 million in the last 10 years in new buildings and facilities. A further investment of over £170 million in the next decade will see all of the University's academic activities located at our riverside campus in Aberdeen. 

This is no ordinary place to work. We have a team of highly committed staff who are pivotal to our success and enjoy state-of-the art facilities in one of the most beautiful campuses in Europe.

Don't just take our word for it....
