The journey of Robert Gordon University has been
an impressive one. We have become known as an
educational innovator, a strong partner for the city
and shire and local education institutions, a university
that understands the needs and priorities of business,
industry and the public services, and a place of learning
that provides students with real advantages as they
embark upon their professional careers. We have
invested to create a state-of-the-art campus at Garthdee,
complemented by our virtual learning environment.
These are the achievements of the staff and students of
the RGU community, who will continue to be central to
what the university can achieve in the future.
While these developments have been crucial to the
university’s success and will still support us in the
future, they will not however be enough, because
everything around us continues to change.

“Robert Gordon’s branding as ‘the professional
university’ couldn’t be more appropriate. It
beats every other university in the most recent
employment figures.”
Sunday Times
OUR HERiTAGE
The name Robert Gordon has been synonymous with
education in Aberdeen since 1750 when the original college
was founded from his bequest. With the addition of Gray’s
School of Art in 1885, the School of Pharmacy in 1898 and the
Scott Sutherland School of Architecture in 1957, the original
college has evolved over the years into a substantial university
– a leading institution of learning still able to draw upon this
rich heritage.
“I have really enjoyed the course, especially getting out into the clinical area and seeing and learning from other midwives and interacting with women and families. This experience has been everything I had hoped for and more.”Stephanie Archibald

THE ViRTUAL CAMPUS
The University has established a significant e-Learning capability,
based around the ‘Model’ virtual learning environment. This is
used to support an extensive range of distance learning courses
and to support the learning of on-campus students in blended
approaches. Effective use of appropriate technologies is a key
element of the University’s plans to extend distance learning
provision, including corporate learning, and to enhance the
learning experience of all students. We are, we believe, the
largest provider of online, distance learning in the UK after the
Open University. With this in mind, we are currently reviewing
our provision, marketing and corporate branding to ensure we
are capitalising on this USP.
iNTERNATiONAL
Our strategy is of ‘internationalisation’ of the total student
experience for all students. This includes the curriculum, work
placements and the wider experience they have interacting
with our staff and the community. International students
have long been attracted to Robert Gordon University and
contributed much to our cultural fabric. Indeed, in recent
years, increasing numbers of international students have made
ours a truly international campus. 19% of the total student
population come from outside the EU. Expanding our cultural
and commercial links with overseas organisations has helped to
create many exciting opportunities for our staff and students to
work abroad.
Our commitment to internationalisation is evident in the
establishment of an International College at the University in
partnership with Navitas. Following the launch of the College
in September 2011, we expect to significantly increase our
recruitment of international undergraduate students at a time
when our recruitment of international postgraduate students is
coming under greater pressure.
ABERDEEN COLLEGE – AN ASSOCiATE COLLEGE
The strength of our regional commitment and also our
understanding of the social inclusion wider access agenda is
reflected in our partnership with Aberdeen College, the largest
FE College in Scotland. This is a truly outstanding alliance
recognised by the Scottish Funding Council as a model for
others. The College is an associated college of the University
and there are articulation agreements across many subject
areas leading to 2+1 and 2+2 progression.
15
COMMERCiAL LiNKS
Our strong links with industry have delivered corporate
alliances, CPD programmes and consultancy both in the UK
and overseas. The deployment of blended learning through
the Moodle Virtual Learning Environment has further
expanded our capability for working with corporate partners
and SMEs world-wide. Enterprising research is undertaken
by groups throughout the University and the results
contribute to knowledge exchange activities across diverse
commercial sectors.
In 2009, the University established a dedicated venture fund
for investment in RGU spinout companies seeking early stage
capital. The RGU Venture Fund LP is managed through the
University’s commercialisation partner, Frontier IP Group PLC.

LEAGUE TABLES
RGU maintains strong links with industry and can trump all competition with its 97.1% employment rate.
The Daily Telegraph July 2012
For five successive years, Robert Gordon University has
retained the position of best modern university in the UK
(The Times Sep 2012) and we consistently maintain one of
the UK’s best graduate employment records. In 2012 The
Times, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph all rated Robert
Gordon University the top university in Scotland for Graduate
employment.
RESEARCH
In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, Robert Gordon
University achieved outstanding results with over 70% of
research being classified as of international quality. The
University was ranked the top modern Scottish University for
research quality, with ‘world class’ research activity in 8 out
of the 11 subjects returned. More recently, Robert Gordon
University was named the top modern university in the UK in
The Sunday Times University Guide 2013 which highlighted
our top quality teaching and research.
The University has built on this excellence with the
establishment of three multi-disciplinary Research Institutes.
They have become the focus for strategic investment and
management of research within the University. Membership of
the Institutes crosses our Faculty boundaries with each institute
being thematic, rather than discipline based, carrying out
research which is relevant to the wider community.

THE UNIVERSITY PREPARED AND APPROVED ITS ESTATES STRATEGY IN 1994, COVERING A 20-25 YEAR
PLANNING PERIOD. WE NOW HAVE ONE VISION FOR THE FUTURE – TO LOCATE ALL OUR STAFF AND STUDENTS,
BY 2020, ON ONE CAMPUS AT THE STUNNING RIVERSIDE SETTING OF GARTHDEE.
one campus, one vision - garthdee 2020
THE MASTERPLAN 2009 AiMS TO:
• Consolidate all academic and administrative activities on
the Garthdee Campus site in order to create the finest
riverside learning environment in Europe
• Create a clearly legible campus heart, focused around a
student-centred experience
• Develop a new and unified academic development on
the eastern portion of the site in order to gain from the
advantages of co-location and collaboration between
disciplines
• Retain and enhance the landscaped qualities of the site
and seek to achieve a stronger relationship between
buildings and the riverside setting
• Develop the Garthdee Campus in a sustainable, phased
manner reflecting the availability of project funding
• Re-utilise appropriate areas within existing buildings to
form a more holistic and integrated campus
• Develop a new focus for arrival/entrance from the south,
including a new pedestrian and cycle bridge to the south
side of the river
The first phase, the consolidation of six sites into two, (Garthdee
and Schoolhill) was essentially complete by 2004. To date we
have invested over £100 million in new buildings and upgrading
facilities for students. These have included the Aberdeen
Business School, the Faculty of Health and Social Care, as well
as a state of the art Sports Centre, modern onsite nursery and a
health centre open to staff, students and the local community.
The second phase, our ‘Masterplan’, is a £170 million campus
development project at our Garthdee campus which will
culminate in the realisation of our vision - one campus at
Garthdee by 2020. The new library and design building are due
for completion in 2013 and will give the university and our local
community some of the best facilities in the UK.
It will also allow staff and students from different disciplines to
benefit from working more closely together on interdisciplinary
themes which are so important in today’s society and economy.
The new facilities will complement the University’s existing
buildings in terms of their innovative design and style, while
providing an outstanding educational environment for its students.

The city is known internationally as the undisputed European
capital of the energy industry. However, it also has many other
sides to its character. Not least because it is located on the edge
of the world renowned Scottish Highlands and the spectacular
Cairngorms - a magnet for walkers, climbers and skiers from
across the UK.
Aberdeen is undeniably a wealthy city; it has one of the highest
per capita incomes of any city after London in the UK. Such
prosperity brings many benefits. The city boasts first-class
facilities. Shopping and leisure opportunities are constantly
expanding. Schooling at all levels is well catered for – with
secondary schooling, in particular, recognised for its quality in
both the public and private sectors. The hotel sector continues
to expand its full range of provision as you would expect of an
energy capital.
Aberdeen also offers a fine array of cultural attractions. There
is an eclectic mix of bars, cafés and restaurants and a host of
modern entertainments including cinemas, theatres, museums,
galleries and concert halls. And, throughout the year, Aberdeen
also plays host to several entertaining and stimulating festivals
including the Aberdeen Alternative Festival and the International
Youth Festival.
Aberdeen International Airport has direct connections with the
major ‘hub’ airports of Paris, Amsterdam and Oslo as well as London
(Gatwick, Heathrow and Luton) and Dublin. It also has established
connections with a wide range of other major UK cities.
