The university has a nice modern campus with great staff covering lots of different expertise. For me, the university has done wel during covid offering support and helping students re emerge out the other side of covid. It has allowed me to find my passion through experimentation and course work.

Accounting and Finance, Year 2

(5)·By Emily·Accounting· Oct 2018
I'm currently a 2nd year student at RGU and study accounting and finance. I find my course extremely good and have secured my Year 3 placement which is offered on the course. There are also a number of societies and clubs available to join, I've tried the mountaineering club so far in my first semester of Year 2 which I found great! There are also many opportunities to study abroad etc which is a great opportunity.
My course itself has been a challenge but there is always support available and not only the university but the student union is always on hand! The atmosphere is also much different from other universities and is very open plan and good for coming together to study.

Business Studies / Management, Year 2

(5)·By Lilli L·Business· Jul 2021
Good, the Uni organises a bunch of different things for freshers and you get to know many people from all over the world. There's lots of different private student accommodations around town and RGU has their own accommodation as well. The Uni is very new with great study facilities and a lovely library. The course has a great mixture of academic and practical knowledge which is amazing for applying to jobs The city is great for students, especially because there's another Uni around along with several colleges

Other, Year 2

(4.8)·By Lucy W·Other· Oct 2018
My university experience last year was great although I am shy! I did struggle but eventually did settle in to a group of friends on my course. Unfortunately my flatmates and I didn't really gel very well but I wish them the best for the future! This year I've decided to be more outgoing and have joined the RGU dance team! Bit out of my comfort zone but I've met a few new friends there! My flatmates are great this year, we all really get on! Here's to a better year at uni and to hip hop dancing my way through exams in January!

I've loved the flexibility and inclusivity of studying at RGU. I think they really consider each students needs and use learning approaches that are enjoyable and suit as many people as possible

Building, Year 4 Plus

(4.8)·By Connor H·Building / Construction· Oct 2018
My experience in Uni has been fantastic. I've made loads of new friends in which I can say I will be friends with for life. I have expanded my knowledge in my course, building surveying. I also feel so much more confident in myself and I am looking forward to seeing where the knowledge I have learned will take me in life.

Business and Management Studies, Year 3

(4.8)·By Holly D·Management· Oct 2018
I did a two plus two with aberdeen college and to start with there was very little support in the way of moving up to Year 3 at university.
Luckily RGU is a very open and helpful university that has meant I've made lots of new friends from many other countries and lecturers are usually more than happy to help when you need it.

Pharmacology / Pharmacy, Graduate

(4.5)·By Sam M·Pharmacology / Pharmacy· Jul 2021
It was really well organised. Good fun. Not much to do if you're under 18 though. The accommodation was alright. Nothing to fancy. Depending on where you stayed. The staff were amazing though! Very helpful All really good! Library was really good and opened 24/7 near exam time which was really handy. The course was very well thought out and modified to suit the needs of everyone. Different teaching styles to suit all students City life was really good! Good food. Things to do. Good places to go out too.

Other Subjects Allied To Medicine, Year 2

(4.5)·By Guillaume C·Medicine· Oct 2018
Tutors have always been friendly and welcoming. The university has always put their maximum for students to enjoy their time.
The student accomodation are good and a fun way to meet people. The university is full of people from everywhere in The world which is also very good
The only bad thing is that the uni is far from the centre of aberdeen which means you always have to take the bus to make it there.
