Research - About our research

The focus at Robert Gordon University is on applied research as it is an integral part of our purpose and adds knowledge not just to our staff and students, but provides benefits to the wider economy and society.

The stimulus, intellectual activity and academic depth associated with the advancement of knowledge are essential elements of an educational environment that fosters innovation, enterprise and an enthusiasm for excellence.

Vision

To be internationally recognised for excellence in applied research in key thematic areas, and to demonstrate tangible success in applying that research for the benefit of the wider community.
