地理位置
罗伯特高登大学位于英国苏格兰 (该地区其他院校)东北部海岸的城市阿伯丁。阿伯丁(Aberdeen)是苏格兰 (该地区其他院校)的第三大城市,以其散落在城市各处的由花岗岩建成古老建筑而著称, 英国女皇避暑的地方离这里只有一个小时的车程。这个城市拥有大约210,000人口。 近年来随着北海油田的开发而逐渐演化为欧洲的石油中心,几乎全球各大石油公司都在这里设有分部,两年一度的海上油气展使得这座古城显得格外热闹;因为阿伯丁是北海近海石油和天然气工业的商业和技术中心,因而赢得"欧洲石油之都"的称号。两条蜿蜒而过的河流将这座宁静的海滨城市装扮得如少女般美丽,阿伯丁东临北海湾与欧洲大陆隔海相望,俨然一颗璀璨的北海之珠。
大学历史
1750年,一位来自阿伯丁名叫罗伯特哥顿的富商出资创建了罗伯特哥顿医院,从那时起,罗伯特哥顿大学的历史就开始了。罗伯特哥顿医院在1881年发展成为一所学院,在1903年它又发展成为罗伯特哥顿工学院,1965年,它成为罗伯特哥顿技术学院。1992年,它正式被授予大学称号。罗伯特哥顿大学位于英国苏格兰东北部的城市阿伯丁。阿伯丁是苏格兰的第三大城市,以其散落在城市各处的由花岗岩建成古老建筑而著称。这个城市拥有大约250,000人口,因为阿伯丁是北海近海石油和天然气工业的商业和技术中心,因而赢得“欧洲石油之都”的称号。

大学概况University Profile
Robert Gordon University (RGU) remains the best university in Scotland for getting its graduates into professional jobs or higher-level study. This year, the proportion dips slightly but still remains above the 80% mark, a feat that achieved by no other Scottish institution.
Its success in this area, where the university’s outstanding contacts within the offshore oil and gas industry in Aberdeen pay a health dividend, offsets the sharp fall seen in RGU’s overall ranking in our league table. It has fallen 12 places this year largely as a result of others improving their performance even more than RGU has done in the past 12 months.
Our lower ranking apart, it has been a good year for RGU with all teaching now united on one site for the first time since long before it became a university in 1992.
A £120m development programme has allowed teaching to be brought together on the Garthdee campus, on the south side of Aberdeen, overlooking the River Dee. The Schools of Engineering, Computing Science and Digital Media, Pharmacy and Life Sciences moved from the historic Schoolhill site, in the city centre, last year.
Development is continuing, however, with a new building for the Scott Sutherland School of Architecture due to open in September 2015. A striking new green glass library tower with spectacular views over the river and city has become a landmark at the heart of the campus, which is full of graceful curves.
Previous developments at Garthdee included additional specialist facilities for the Faculty of Health and Social Care. The Aberdeen Business School, designed by Norman Foster, is being upgraded with new teaching and student learning spaces and an open plan area with IT access, group study areas, exhibition and seminar space.
In 2012, RGU was the top ranked modern university in our league table, having been runner-up for our University of the Year in 2011 and winner of the Scottish University of the Year award in 2010. This year it ranks 13 among the modern universities with student satisfaction slightly up on last year under our analysis, but RGU’s ranking down 11 places, a prime example of other similarly-ranked universities improving their scores by greater amounts.
Graduate employment remains RGU’s strongest suit. It holds on to its top 10 UK ranking for the proportion of students in professional jobs or higher-level study.
Strong industry links are typified by facilities such as theDART (Drilling and Advanced Rig Training) simulator that provides a full-scale reproduction of an offshore platform or land rig within the Energy Centre. Work placements lasting up to a year have become the norm on all the university’s courses. With nursing and health sciences now accounting for a large share of the places, RGU gives itself the soubriquet of the Professional University.
The creative industries are a growth area and there is a full portfolio of courses in business, design and engineering. Flexible programmes, with credit accumulation and transfer, make for easy movement in and out of the university for an often mobile local workforce.
Named after an 18th-century philanthropist, RGU has a pedigree in education that goes back 250 years. The university now offers about 150 degrees. Students from the city’s two universities mix easily, and there is healthy academic rivalry in some areas.
There is also a partnership with North East Scotland College, which allows students to progress from a college-based Higher National Diploma to the third year of an RGU degree course.
Almost a third of RGU’s submission in the last Research Assessment Exercise was considered world-leading or internationally excellent. Three research institutes have since been launched to focus on the university’s strengths in business and information; innovation, design and sustainability; and health and welfare.
Like many modern universities, Robert Gordon recruits most of its students locally, nearly 60% of them female. However, overseas student numbers have been growing sharply and the overall demand for places has been more consistent than at most universities north of the border.
Efforts to extend access beyond the normal higher education catchment have produced a diverse student population, with three in 10 undergraduates coming from working-class homes and 92% from state schools or colleges.
The university has a strong focus on new technology. An award-winning virtual campus was launched with an online course in e-business for postgraduates. It also enables management undergraduates to receive course materials via an intranet, and other degree and short courses are available. The Moodle system is used across Robert Gordon courses for both on-campus and distance learning students, providing teaching, notes, online forums for discussion and electronic submission options.
Aberdeen is a long way to go for students from other parts of the UK, but train and air links are excellent, and the city regularly features in the top 10 for quality of life.
There is a £12m sports and leisure centre, which includes a centre of excellence for the region in hockey, as well as a 25-metre swimming pool, three gyms, a climbing wall and bouldering room, a café bar, three exercise studios and a large sports hall.
Sports scholarships are available to budding athletes, with Commonwealth Games gold medal-winning swimmer Hannah Miley among the recipients.
Although accommodation can be expensive in the private sector, low prices in the students’ union partially compensate, and there are enough university residential places to guarantee housing to first years from outside the local area.
学生观点Student view
Paul Greene, students’ union president
First impressions
Relaxed and informal atmosphere between lecturers and students.
Worst feature
Lack of a bar on campus but this doesn’t impact on the party atmosphere here at RGU.
Making a difference
We do a lot of challenge events for charity from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to building schools in Morocco.
Deal clincher
Aberdeen is thriving with students and industries so even once you’ve graduated the opportunities are endless.
