Student Profile

Suwat Pongtepupathum

Learning at RGU, Aberdeen has been such a good experience for me because I’ve learned a lot of new things regarding oil and gas in the North Sea. Living and studying in Aberdeen, Scotland is an advantage for students because Aberdeen is the capital city for oil and gas in the UK.
