Ali

MSc Physiotherapy, Canada

RGU has one of the best ranked physiotherapy programs in the UK with a really experienced and talented lecture team. I expected a small class environment where you can be close with your classmates and teachers which has been the case since, I got here. What I like best about my time at RGU is there are a lot of clubs, sports teams, and free fitness classes available to participate in as a student. I enjoy exploring Aberdeen, and surrounding cities, hiking, going to the beach, playing sports such as Muay Thai and basketball. Inside and outside the classroom, there are so new many great people you can meet. Everything is accessible in Aberdeen, it’s a small town; the nearby beach has a great entertainment hub.
