RGU students were all smiles as they stepped on to stage to pick up their degrees as proud friends and family watched on.

It is the first day in a week of summer graduations for thousands of Robert Gordon University students.

The ceremonies are once again being held at the P&J Live, graduates donning caps and gowns to walk on stage.

Kicking off the week is the graduating class of the Gray’s School of Art and the School of Nursing, Midwifery & Paramedic Practice – both undergraduate and postgraduate.

It comes after Aberdeen University held their graduation ceremonies last week at the King’s College in Old Aberdeen.
