One of Scotland's premier institutions, founded in 1495

Picture yourself off the beaten track in northeast Scotland surrounded by breathtaking scenery and accompanied by 13,000 other eager students, all looking for a distinctive experience, rigorous academics and the great outdoors.

Founded in 1495, the University of Aberdeen is one of Scotland's premier teaching and research institutions located in the country's third largest city. The University conducts internationally significant research across a variety of fields including medicine, oil exploration and technology, marine and fisheries science, environmental management and planning, biological sciences, and Scottish and Irish studies.

Discover the amazing hidden secrets of Aberdeen. It will become part of you, if you let it. The close-knit group of people that live, work, and study here will accept you right into the family. ”
