Testimonials

One of our recent graduates, Grace Kamvazakazi, speaks with enthusiasm about her time on the course,

"My experience at RGU has been phenomenal - the teaching comprised both theory and how this is applied to real world situations. Also, I was challenged as a student to conduct research and engage in group discussions with fellow students from a wide range of countries and backgrounds."

Raman Jyoti also graduated in 2008 and speaks highly of his time studying at the Business School,

"After receiving my Masters degree I felt elated to have chosen right university. This was also due to the high degree of support I received from each and every member of staff at Robert Gordon University. Their approach to teaching encouraged me to develop a deep rooted analytical knowledge of Law at an international perspective”.

Vikas Sharma graduated in 2007 and agrees that both course and university proved to be excellent choices, and said,

"I certainly do not regret the decision to choose to go to RGU. The time spent at RGU pursuing the LL.M International Commercial Law is one of the phases of my life I would like to repeat!"
