University of Aberdeen in general Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

Loved this Uni. Studied Biochemistry in the world renowned department, with real international standard researchers. The course was definitely designed around what industry and research bodies would want from a graduate. The only way I could have improved what I got out of my time at university would have been to undertake the ...  Read the complete review

Starting with the uni itself, the vast majority is in the one area - old Aberdeen. Here lies one major advantage over other city universities such as Edinburgh and Glasgow. At Aberdeen, you ...  Read the complete review

Yes, Aberdeen is one of the coldest places I have ever been in my life - possibly excluding the day I fell into a deep-freezer, but that's another story...

As a confirmed Southerner, I wasn't at all sure what to expect from Aberdeen when I arrived up here to start my degree. Things weren't made any clearer from my first few encounters with the natives, who seemed friendly enough, but appeared to speak Serbo-Croat. Linguistic difficulties aside, Aberdeen turns out to be a great ...  Read the complete review
