I chose to study at Robert Gordon University because it is located in Aberdeen, which is known to be the hub of Oil and Gas in the UK. Furthermore, RGU is one of the few places in the world where you can get an MSc with the title of Drilling and Well Engineering. The benefit of choosing RGU has been the course contents are based on practical field work and this definitely contributes to better employability in my future. Apart from my studies, the thing I’ve enjoyed most about living in Aberdeen has been my road trips across Scotland to experience its natural breath-taking beauty. I would definitely recommend RGU to any student from Pakistan considering studying overseas.
