These awards are Marketing ”˜Oscars’ in higher education and special thanks and congratulations go to Linda Innes and to Ken Dundas and to everyone in the marketing team who played a part in curating content for the print and digital media.

“Well done to everyone across RCS who plays their part in making this place the world-class institution that it is.
