Teaching at the University of Aberdeen is organised across 12 schools which encompass a broad range of disciplines. Undergraduate and postgraduate students benefit by being taught by academic staff who are active in research, many involved in international collaborations at the forefront of discovery in their respective discipline, focused on finding answers to the issues facing our society and economy today. The University of Aberdeen Business School is a leading international provider of excellence in undergraduate and postgraduate education, at the heart of the University. It boasts an international faculty of over 40 research-active members with world leading academic credentials and strong professional links with the business community.
The University of Aberdeen is committed to delivering outstanding teaching and first class research, and to achieve that, we have put people at the heart of everything that we do. The Strategic Plan outlines the University of Aberdeen's priorities for the next five years. Underpinned by our mission and values, which have been nurtured over 500 years of scholarly and scientific investigation, and excellence in learning and teaching, the document supports our commitment to providing an outstanding educational experience and enriching people's lives through research, learning and sharing of knowledge. It sets out our ambition of being one of the world's top seats of teaching, learning and research - a progressive university that makes a difference, fostering a culture of equality and diversity, encouraging innovation, and empowering staff and students to achieve their aspirations.
Our graduates have long been the best the country offers, benefiting from an outstanding student experience, securing specific Aberdeen graduate attributes which have shaped them to be responsible global citizens with a strong academic background, and ready to add value to their chosen professions. We recognise that the sustainability legacy and impact of the University will be measured not only by carbon emissions or landfill tonnage, but by the sustainability of our decision-making, by the quality and global relevance of our research, and by our role in developing active and engaged graduates with the attributes necessary to tackle the challenges facing society.
Our full Strategic Plan outlines our commitment to excellence, and how all aspects of an Aberdeen education will be inter-dependent to attain real success as a world-class research university. Our culture embraces the entire global Aberdeen family, our teaching and learning is alive to the changing needs of all our students, and our research delivers sustainable benefits to society. With a sustainable and environmentally conscious approach to improving our infrastructure, this sets us apart in our ability to deliver an exceptional educational experience and to celebrate innovation and excellence with future generations. Aberdeen students will grow as active international citizens during their study, and our strong partnerships with business and industry will ensure that they are well prepared for working life, with a global outlook and attributes that will be sought-after by employers in every sector.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Great university with great teaching staff. Hillhead Student Village is also a great place to live in your first year with the only negative being it's distance to town. Other than that it's a safe place close to the university with everything you need nearby.

Decent University, but I have to take off a star for the city getting very stale very quickly and actually witnessing a seagull try to take a pie out of a man's hand after he left the baker's. Aberdeen city council needs to organise another cull.

Beautiful University of Aberdeen which I have been a student at for over 8 years. Staff are helpful and friendly. Recently improvements including the Sir Duncan Rice library have made this an attractive University to study at.

There is a lot of culture in reading, in its construction of years and that even at the moment and over the years continue to maintain in perfect condition, clear that many of its buildings have been re-designed modern times. Its large 7-story library is amazing. The number of books in its interior and its history are together, incredible.
The guards are a bit paranoid and unattractive, think that by entering any object, be it a sandwich, you'll enter a pump or imagine something. The infrastructure that has the library is beautiful.

Aberdeen Uni is a great place to study at and I´d do so again if I ever had the chance. Beautiful buildings and the wee simple and medieval layout of the campus is the loveliest I´ve seen so far.
Love from Iceland!!

One of the oldest universities in the world. Characterized by amazing structures, squares, narrow old streets and its unique climate.

After my first academic year here, I am still amazed by the simplicity of this beautifully designed university. I don't regret applying or getting accept here!
King's College still amazes me and I like to just lose 5 minutes, staying on the benches in the King's Lawn, looking at it. Beautiful building!
The academic staff is very professional, engaging and diverse, offering high quality lectures (sadly this doesn't apply to the Geography Department) and friendly advice anytime you find yourself at the end of a road.
Overall, there have been good things and bad things in this year, but this place made it all worth the effort and enjoy every moment as it was!
