Student & Parent Voices
Celebrating Success Stories .
RGU is linked to Humber college in Toronto, where I was able to take my 3-year diploma and enter into the third year of the 4-year degree program here in Aberdeen. I have enjoyed the access to real-world projects that are not only relevant but have enabled me to grow my technical and presentation skills. The United Kingdom has also always been a place that I have wanted to visit.

RGU was a great opportunity for me to be able to further my education in an international environment. I have always wanted to be able to study abroad, and the modern campus, along with the friendly and welcoming faculty, was a motivating factor in my decision.
My program has challenged my thinking, encouraged my opinions, and has provided a good foundation to go into the workplace.
My only regret is that I wish I came to Aberdeen and RGU sooner
– Kaitlin O.RGU 
My experience living and studying in Scotland has been the best experience of my life. The staff at RGU were so accommodating to international students and worked hard in providing us with a superior education. They have proven themselves over and over with the quality of graduates returning to begin employment in their home countries.
My program (MSc Physiotherapy Pre-Registration) was special for me, giving me opportunities to do placements all over the country and meet so many of Scotland’s people. The locals were always so polite and kind and also curious to learn more about me and my culture.
– Liam C.RGU, MSc Physiotherapy (Pre-Reg) 
I chose RGU because I had been lucky enough to complete an M.Sc. through distance learning and had found that the academic style in Scotland was highly cooperative compared to some of my previous academic experiences. As I am from Canada, I wanted to get a qualification that could travel and Scottish higher education has a great reputation back home. I also wanted a qualification that would enable me to start a career. I was interested in pharmacy and found that RGU prided itself on patient-centred care.
– Christine M.RGU, MPharm 
KOM Educational Consultants were extremely helpful in guiding me through the process of getting where I wanted to be. At first it seemed like a daunting task to sort out everything I needed to begin my studies at Robert Gordon University, but the KOM team were great at breaking down the process into manageable stages.
