Vision and Mission

We focus upon the contemporary needs of students, economies and societies. We're 'The Professional University’.

Garthdee Campus'Professional' is our watchword for the way we treat all our stakeholders, including and especially our students. It guides the way we work together, and defines what we expect from each other.

A professional education starts with excellent teaching and research within a supporting environment. We're informed by our commercial and public sector partners, who are instrumental in helping us to develop our courses, making them relevant for the evolving economy and society. Many include practical experience and professional accreditation.

A professional education is about a lifelong and sustainable approach to working and living. The mark of a professional, whether they have completed a full degree programme with us or a short, part-time course, is someone willing and ready to make valuable contributions to their employers and their communities. Consequently, our graduates enjoy high levels of employment and play vital roles in the regional, national and global workplace.

Our professional approach provides shared successes. Our students have rewarding lives and careers. Our business and professional partners benefit from access to knowledge and talent. Our community values the contribution we make.

For all these reasons, we're recognised as one of the best modern universities in the UK.

“The partnership we have with Robert Gordon University not only helps to verify the high quality of learning we provide for our people, but it also leads to a formal qualification at degree level, which both Shell and our staff see as valuable.”

Adam Lomas Vice President, EP Learning & Development, Shell
