Robert Gordon University (RGU) is working in partnership with Global College Malta (GCM) to deliver three of its oil and gas engineering courses.
To be launched in January 2014, the partnership agreement will see industry experts from RGU’s teaching staff travel to GCM to deliver Masters in oil and gas engineering, in petroleum production and in drilling and well engineering.
GCM, which opened in September 2013, is the first higher education establishment in SmartCity Malta and currently offers four British-style business and management-related courses.
Targeting students from Africa and the Middle East, the RGU courses will mirror the content delivered at RGU’s home campus in Aberdeen, and are tailored to reflect the latest industry demand, equipping the students with the relevant skills and knowledge required for successful graduate employment.
Ferdinand von Prondzyski, the Principal of RGU, said that other courses could be added to the list in the future.
The teaching programme will combine a mixture of on- campus lectures delivered at GCM by RGU staff and distance learning. On completion of the courses, GCM students will graduate with an RGU degree certificate at a ceremony held on GCM’s campus.
