Employment Success

Our approach to preparing graduates for employment sees Robert Gordon University consistently placed among the top universities in all league tables.

We work closely with employers - to offer courses that make our graduates particularly desirable to local, national and international companies and organisations.

84% of our graduates secure graduate level jobs, ranking it in the top 10 on this measure with average starting salaries at an impressive £20,897.

Many of our courses include a placement and you'll start making valuable contacts from the moment you take up your first placement. The workplace experience you accumulate will often then lead directly to higher paid posts on graduation.

Whatever you wish to do and wherever you'd like to do it, you can always rely on the informed, friendly support of our careers specialists to steer you towards suitable employment.

The Sunday Times University Guide

  • "A degree from Robert Gordon is as near to a guarantee of a job as you can get. Few graduates were unemployed six months after leaving last year - just 3.8% - the lowest rate of any state-funded university in the country. It's the same every year at Robert Gordon, which has the best graduate jobs record of any university." The Sunday Times University Guide 2012 (11 September 2011)
