It’s the start of a brand new year, Christmas is long gone and you’re still recovering from New Year! It’s now time to make some new year resolutions and at the top of your list is the biggest and scariest question-‘which University am I going to apply to?’ followed by; which city? Which course? do I want to study abroad? And finally where do I start? It can feel overwhelming at times but don’t worry help is at hand! We have put together a few thoughts and suggestions below to help you choose the right University for you. At RGU (Robert Gordon University) in Aberdeen, Scotland, we have a team of experts in our admissions department who can help make the process as easy and stress free as possible should you wish to apply.
Things to consider
Here are just a few things for you to consider when choosing the right University; research your course, what do you want to do after you graduate? Does the course include a work placement or a year abroad? How do you like learning? Is the University and course highly ranked? Big campus or small campus? Location? When is the next open day? All of these questions will help you to narrow down the choices.
