That would be really great although I bet I'm a bit older than you :tongue:

I'm not really sure, I mean in general Aberdeen does have a much better reputation. It's an old university, and is very well respected by employers.

On the other hand, the business course at RGU is fantastic, and offers a whole year of work experience, which can be extremely beneficial.

In conclusion, I'm going to sit on the fence and say both are great for business!

But I only have one spot left in my application for Aberdeen unis and I was thinking to apply in Aberdeen... now I'm not sure! RGU seems pretty good too :smile:

Which are your other choices btw?

Well I would pick Aberdeen over RGU, just because of the reputation of Aberdeen. It looks good to employers over the UK, and internationally too, whereas the reputation of RGU is a lot more local.

I am also applying to Dundee, Stirling and Edinburgh.

Where else are you applying?

Im also applying to Strathclyde, Glasgow, Heriot Watt and Edinburgh Napier(I dont really want to go there but I was advised to put it as a back up and last option).

My top options are Strathy and Heriot Watt :tongue:

Did you attend the open day? Yes! I really loved the buildings, though if I'm honest the head of psychology appeared to be attempting to put people off the course and she didn't seem that enthusiastic.
