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.

OUR ViSiON

employability of its graduates, its influence in the region and

nation, its growing global profile, and its strong interdisciplinary

focus on a small number of key questions and issues of concern

to the local and global community. It will achieve its goals in

partnership with academic, voluntary, public and business

organisations that share its ideals and aspirations.

The university will enter the global university rankings, diversify

and secure its income and resources, and enter into close

collaborative agreements with key strategic partners.

RGU will be a model university of the future and will shape its

own culture, practice and organisation accordingly.

A Clear Futurefor a leading university in a new era

in order to achieve our vision, we will commit ourselves to a set of key strategic aims:

· Teaching and learning: inspire all individuals to achieve their

“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.

16

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.

Sustainability Research

Topics: Engineering; Environmental Science; Computing;

Architecture & Built Environment and Art & Design.

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.
