France

Due to the strong links we have built up with many French education institutions, each year we say bonjour to a huge number of students from France.

France flag 152Many of these students join us for advanced entry to one of our courses after completing their DUT. Others chose to study one of our Postgraduate courses. Some join us for one, and then enjoy studying at Robert Gordon so much, they continue onto the other.

The range of subjects our French students chose to study is varied but amongst the most popular are Computing and Science, with Engineering and Business also being very popular.

Please note, when applying or for the purposes of funding, you will be considered as an ‘EU' student and not ‘overseas' or ‘international'.
