Robert Gordon University (RGU) is a dynamic, innovative public university situated on a breathtaking riverside parkland campus along the River Dee in Aberdeen, Scotland. Tracing its educational roots to 1750 through the philanthropic bequest of merchant Robert Gordon, the institution was granted full university status in 1992. Renowned as one of the UK’s leading modern applied universities, RGU is celebrated for its world-class offshore engineering, subsea technology, energy transition research, health and clinical simulation suites, AACSB and AMBA accredited Aberdeen Business School, and historic creative academies—Gray’s School of Art (1885) and The Scott Sutherland School of Architecture & Built Environment (1913). With industry placements embedded in virtually every degree program, RGU consistently ranks number one in Scotland and top three in the United Kingdom for graduate employability.
