OUR PROFESSIONAL ACCREDITATIONS AND LINKS WITH INDUSTRY We work closely with employers to offer courses that make our graduates particularly desirable to local, national and international companies and organisations. Many of our courses are the result of close collaboration with industry, focusing on both the day-to-day and future professional needs of businesses and other organisations.

This means that our graduates learn the necessary skills and are always strongly in demand. Here is a selection of those companies and organisations we collaborate with from course development and accreditation to providing scholarships and placements.

STUDENT TESTIMONIAL RGU has been one of the most phenomenal experiences of my life. The lectures were wellplanned in advance and real-world modules are developed keeping in mind what the industries expect. Industry talks, workshops and seminars were extremely helpful, and they provided me a platform to network with industry experts. I got placed before I even finished my studies and have been happily working in a job which I loved immediately, as soon as I handed my dissertation in. My degree at RGU was very much helpful in securing my job here at Aberdeen and in fulfilling my goal to work for a global company, with a base in Aberdeen but with offices all over the world.
