“Together with a strong performance in last year’s research “Overall if you’re looking at the high earners, you’re looking
at the top of the league table, which is mostly the Russell Group
universities, such as Oxford, Cambridge and Bristol, and the 1994
assessment, this helps RGU to its highest ever ranking in our table, ranking second in the modern university sector.” – The Sunday Times (13 September 2009)
“RGU has one of the best recruitment records in the UK. In the past decade, the university has invested more than £100m to improve its facilities, and intends to make the Garthdee site ‘the best riverside campus in Europe.’”

“Robert Gordon’s branding as ‘the professional university’ couldn’t be more appropriate. It beats every other university in the most
recent employment figures – just 2.1% of last year’s graduates were out of work six months after leaving.”
– The Sunday Times (13 September 2009)
“Two Scottish universities, Heriot-Watt and Robert Gordon, have jumped spectacularly up the ratings.” – The Guardian (12 May 2009)
“Work placements, lasting up to a year, are the norm [at Robert
Gordon University] helping an employment record that has been Scotland’s best for several years and consistently one of the UK leaders.”
