What can I study?

You can enroll in nearly any class offered at the University of Aberdeen if you have completed all indicated prerequisites. A normal class load at Aberdeen is three to four classes. One of the many benefits of the University of Aberdeen is its diverse student body. Almost a quarter of the student body of 12,000 is made up of students from outside the UK with 120 nationalities represented.

Why Aberdeen?

Aberdeen has something for everyone. Its rich cultural heritage is combined with a thriving contemporary community. Add to this a strong economic pulse, and the Granite City becomes a lively and rewarding place to live and study.

The miles of golden beaches, dunes, cliffs and nearby Cairngorm Mountains offer superb opportunities for hill walking, mountaineering and skiing. Rivers such as the Dee, the Don, the Ythan and the Ugie offer fishing, rowing, canoeing and breathtaking scenery.
