I am currently studying Law and ever since the open Day at the University of Aberdeen I knew that this was the best place to be. They were so welcoming to new prospective students and instantly made you feel at ease and like this was your home. Aberdeen is always in the top spots for studying law in Scotland and that was reaffirmed as soon as I started lectures and tutorials.

I thought the academic standard in my department was very good indeed and the head of department was a leading light in my field. If  Read the complete review

I found the lecturers (computing science) xenophobic and racist.Overseas/African students go at your own peril

Do Not Go !!!! Oh my god I went to Aberdeen University to study Psychology in 2002. The Hillhead accommodation is a rip off and depressing, the union closed down, I couldn't get a seat in Lectures they obviously over booked the course, I got to second year and passed my psychology exams my grades weren't amazing but they were good passes but they wouldn't allow me into honours. I asked my advisor for some advice and he sent me this... Your possible plans seem to be 1.
