Students are attracted by our tradition which is rooted in our 500 year history – however, we are focused firmly on the future and are at the cutting-edge of research in many fields. 76% of our research has been assessed through the UK's Research Excellence Framework (REF14) and has been deemed to be ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.

 

Flexibility and individuality are the University's real strengths. With over 390 first degree programmes on offer, students can mix, match and switch subjects as they discover new interests on route to their tailor-made degree. Our first degrees cover a range of subjects including business, engineering, medicine and, sports science related degrees where we rank 1st in the UK (Sports Science – The Guardian 2018).

 

At Aberdeen you will find intriguing ancient buildings alongside modern, newly refurbished, first-class laboratories, excellent computing facilities and the latest library technology. For instance, Our Sir Duncan Rice Library, opened in 2012, boasts seven floors of resources and study areas.

 

The student culture here is lively, with a strong sense of community and belonging. The University promotes a multi-national, multi-faith community and truly welcomes all.  Social and sporting facilities are outstanding with Olympic standard sports facilities available to all students. Explore the land around you easily as our University is situated within walking distance to the city’s beautiful beach. Aberdeen itself is surrounded by breath-taking Scottish countryside perfect for hillwalking, mountaineering and canoeing.
