Robert Gordon University, Scottish University of the Year
The motion
That the Parliament recognises that Aberdeen’s Robert Gordon University has been named Scottish University of the Year in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021; notes that the main factors behind the university’s award are its strong focus on graduate employability, which sees 78.5% of graduates secure high-skilled jobs or postgraduate study within 15 months of leaving, its strong links with the offshore industry based in Aberdeen, and its strong showing for levels of student satisfaction; further notes that the university is one of Scotland’s largest providers of graduate apprenticeships, with 475 scheduled to be enrolled at its Aberdeen campus for 2021-22, and congratulates everyone at the university whose hard work and dedication has made this richly deserved award possible.
