The Robert Gordon University (RGU) has hosted a construction careers event for seven Aberdeen City and Shire schools.

Pupils visited RGU's Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment on Wednesday, 25 November.

They were given a tour of the new £16 million university building and received information about career opportunities available in the sector.

Architecture lecturer Dr Quazi Mahtab Zaman, who helped organise the event, said: "There are a wide variety of roles available for graduates within the construction industry, from architecture to surveying, and this event was designed to showcase the different potential career paths to school pupils.

"Making a decision about which course to study at university and knowing the job opportunities that a particular degree will open up to you is a difficult one and it is our job as a university to engage with pupils and ensure they are aware of all their options."
