🏃 RGU at the Commonwealth Games

Jon's journey at RGU transformed his career, inside and outside of the classroom.

As the No. 1 University in the UK for Physiotherapy, we equipped Jon with the skillset and confidence to make real world impact. After working in elite sport for nearly two decades, he's now 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝'𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭 at the Commonwealth Games.

But his RGU journey was also transformative outside of the classroom. After a lecturer identified Jon as potentially having dyslexia, he was diagnosed aged 26. RGU supported Jon to develop strategies that continue to benefit him throughout his professional career.

After 10 years as a high school teacher, Tom was ready for a new challenge. Now studying our Online LLB (Law) course, he's balancing full-time work with his studies while living on one of Scotland's Inner Hebrides.

A recent Law School visit to the UK Supreme Court in Glasgow gave Tom a unique opportunity to experience the UK's highest court first-hand and connect with fellow students in person.

"The Online LLB is very well organised, and as materials are available for a semester in advance, it allows me to fit my studies around full-time work."

Tom's journey is a great example of how flexible online learning can open doors, wherever you live.
