One of the best decision I have made so far going to Aberdeen university for my postgraduate program.
Awesome facilities, great lecturers, full of diversity and everyone is kind and willing to provide guidance. The University has a rich history that is visible within the building, Elphinstone chapel, St. Machar chapel among others. The university lives up to its expectation of being the best university in the region and beyond. Its curriculums are intuitive and provide students with an opportunity to think outside the regular box.
Aesthetically pleasing (for the most part) campus. Nice library and good student union building. Internet is fast with good coverage around campus. Lecture theatres are relatively close which makes walking to your next lecture quick.
Lovely looking University Campus, tons of societies to choose from.
The professors at the University of Aberdeen are very friendly and the library is very large
It has been overall a very good experience, I would like to see the student union change, currently not a space to meet up/ hang out in after 8 pm would be nice to see events on or live music.
Great uni, union is a nice, homey space
Overall good experience, could be more university events but that’s the only negative
The university is so beautiful and everyone is really nice. Teachers are really helpful and it is really easy to socialize as there are many societies and events organised by the University. As a foreign student, I can easily say that I would have liked to do my 4 years of undergraduate program here!
The University of Aberdeen provides a vibrant and inclusive student community, with a wide range of clubs and societies catering to students' interests. The university's student union organizes various events, including cultural festivals, music performances, and sports activities.
Here is great. Everyone in the team is friendly. They always solved my problems soon after I asked them. I get a lot of help from them in my daily life.
Its allright , but could be better
The university of aberdeen is set on a gorgeous campus that make students feel that they are in a small village. The city of Aberdeen, even lost in the east of scotland, offers a lot of student leisure. Sports village, pubs, leisure center, and the student union offers a lot of activities and events
Good university, great and helpful staff
I do the rowing club at Aberdeen- brilliant. Library- what an amazing facility. Genuinely an amazing location to study in. A nice campus. Good bakery!!!!!!!!!!
Love it here, would recommend to anyone who is thinking about coming
Was very welcomed by the pleasant atmosphere here
Great facilities and very helpful staff!
A perfect place to be, it is all encompassing.
A fantastic university with a stunning campus which holds the perfect balance of old & new. The amenities & support on campus is amazing with a huge range of cafes & shops. The teaching spaces are fantastic & the lecture halls offer great variety in design & aura so you're not sitting in mundane halls all day
The university provides advice, support and a high level of education for all. It is a very inclusive and welcoming institution with great staffing
I've really enjoyed my experience here. I don't love the treatment of international students (not allowed to take online courses even if there isn't an in person option, different attendance standards than domestic, etc) and there have been some wifi issues. But the teaching staff is really good and the facilities here are great. There are tons of societies to join which are great for the social experience.
Beautiful campus - buildings are easy to find and get around. Well maintained - everyone works really hard to keep campus clean and tidy
I'm an international student from Florida, and attending university here has been one of the best decisions I've made.
Does what its meant to do, average uni.
Great university, I learned a lot and very fun societies and interesting classes.
Its a very good campus but the union ans students services feel a bit distant
I have enjoyed my time at Aberdeen uni!
Aberdeen has been a great university for me to step onto the next step in my career. The campus has got a rich history and the standard of teaching is very high over here.
I was scared to come to university at the start but have felt that all the staff I have interacted with are really helpful.
Amazing! They do a really good job!
The campus is nice and easy to get to. It can be quite hard to navigate it so clearer/larger signposts would be great. The student's union has improved dramatically in the last year and the presence of the president and vice presidents team is also more impactful. The campus needs more water refill sites, it's ridiculous, there are like 2 thought the whole Aberdeen (excluding forester hill) campus. And buildings need more/more obvious disability accessibility like ramps and lifts.
Love it here only complaint is lack of funding from AUSA for women’s hockey club
The university is beautiful and an honour to study at. Plenty social events and extracurricular activities such as sports clubs and societies. The Sir Duncan Rice library is an excellent facility. I do feel that the university should care more about the rapid decline in students mental health as it is becoming a massive issue within the university and society, so feel that there should be extra attention paid.
Good service attitude, helped me repair the refrigerator, the staff were very patient
It’s been a good experience so far
I enjoy my university life. There are so many societies to choose from
UoA is good, there’s a range of societies and events.
great teaching and resources, library is very handy. Social experience has been great made lots of lifelong friendships
Good uni however administration is not
The faculty at the university were excellent – they were all experts in their fields and were always willing to help when I had questions or needed advice. The classes were challenging but engaging, and I felt like I learned a lot during my time there.
Plenty of study spaces which all feel very safe, even at night; lecturers are all very nice and helpful,
It is a good university that is diverse
The course is really good and the staff are amazing. The facilities are good too
I like it, the foresterhill campus is very nice
The school facilities are excellent and advanced. The campus environment is very good and comfortable. The learning atmosphere is rich, and the library is very suitable for learning.
I enjoy being in the University, there are many amenities that you can utilise.
Good university, good study experience
Try to avoid this school, to be very honest.
Good study and live experience. I like study here
Very good university, very quiet, suitable for study.
It's an old university, with high quality teaching and very good teachers.
Best university in the world. Great doctoral student experience and supportive staff!
Good Environment to study, a lot going on if you are interested in extra things such as sports, and clubs.
The university is great, the medical school is separate and provides us with any support we need
study experience is good，everyone is nice.
It’s a really good uni and I have had good experiences with professors and lecturers most of the time and the social life is amazing as all the students accommodation are really close together so everyone gets to interact.
Good university, could work on wifi connection in macrobert building and more.
Just all round stunning. A truly memorable experience in my life.
good for students, bad wifi student union isn’t that great
Good experience overall. I recommend
I enjoy studying at the university I love the facilities they have to offer!
Great uni, love my degree of environmental science
I am enjoying studying at UoA, as well as having a larger campus then the last uni I went to.
Great uni. Societies and people are great.
good and helpme najhahah,ahhagav
great university. Had a lovely time for 1 year, both academically and personally.
It is a very period school. Most of the teachers at the school are very friendly and will help you with your studies to the best of their ability. The school library is particularly nice and has a great learning atmosphere, and seats often need to be taken by arriving early. The only downside is that the school canteen is not good and the variety is too small.
Lecturers are typically on top of recordings and uploads, and the buildings and classrooms are great. Work is also quite well balanced - fast paced but not so much that you fall behind. My course does lots of smaller tests and assessments throughout the term, which I like since it helps with revision and shows how well you understand a subject. The Wi-Fi is really good once you’re on it, but getting signed in can be a bit of a process and if you forget or are on a time limit it’s not very easy to get back on
An amazing university. Makes me feel wanted and has amazing facilities
The rooms are very clean, the staff are very friendly and it's close to the school. I live here with many of my friends and it's easy to go to school together.
University of Aberdeen is great, the environment is very good, the teacher is also very patient with the students, and the teacher can give advice immediately
Aberdeen is a welcoming and supportive university. I feel as though I can be myself at Aberdeen. The overwhelming majority of staff are lovely and I know I can go to them about anything. The university has been incredibly supportive of me
Perfect perfect perfect perfect
It’s a wonderful experience,I have met lot of interesting people and the teachers are nice
Helpful and friendly staffs Great accommodation for students and Safe Easy access to city center and college Happy that I have choosed to stay in powis
It's been only a week here and Iam already loving it. The staffs are so friendly and helpful. The property is so cool and is close to the University, city centre, beach, union square which is very efficient. Happy to be spending a whole year here.
It is a great university to study and good teachers are there.I can’t wait to study for a year and get my postgraduate degree
The best university I have been to. Would recommend anyone who is serious about achieving high grades and top salaried jobs. The course is rigorous and industry standards. Most of my employers were appreciative of my course modules as it involved blend of exams, group projects, presentations, essay and reflective writing. The resources are plentiful, and campus is beautiful. The current rankings (13th in UK Guardian and 4th in UK NSS) are reflective of university's strategy to top uni in the UK. My business course was ranked top 7 in the UK and accounting and finance was ranked 2nd in the UK.
Good student experience despite the limitations imposed by covid.
Great university, especially for the life sciences.
I would recommend studying at Aberdeen University.
I like the quiet environment very much, and the front desk is very friendly. I think the environment here is the best apartment in my Aberdeen dormitory apartment. I hope everyone can book it.
Very nice university, beautiful architecture and excellent academic atmosphere
Campus and facilities excellent. Lecturers in all departments I have studied in have been very passionate and knowledgeable about there subject. Subjects well taught and lectures varied making the semester feel different rather than similar all the way through.
Great University, I really enjoyed my time here. The campus is beautiful, there are so many events and so many people to meet and the Anthropology Department is wonderful.
The campus and amenities seem fairly nice overall, and the education is to a good standard. They provide a wide range of societies that anybody may join. Most likely, there is an organisation for any interest.
I really like using the library, wish there were more places to park on campus. Have never really had much interaction with the student union or seen what their purpose is
I have mixed feelings about the University of Aberdeen. Most evidently, after the pandemic has hit, the quality of the courses has gone down quite a bit.
Historical campus with new developments such as the new science teaching hub. On site student union which has a good cafeteria for lunches and the Sir Duncan Rice library is a great place to study.
Lecturers are very helpful and knowledgeable
Student union exists but is awful, needs a serious upgrade some buildings are beautiful on the outside and inside some really aren’t. But the rest of campus including the greenery is beautiful!
The University of Aberdeen provides great services to students whilst being an amazing academic environment to learn and be educated.
Aberdeen University is a beautiful university with strong teachers, beautiful library, high-quality teaching mode and rich student activities
Lots of societies and clubs to join. There are also lots of foreign students which is great as it allows you to mix with different cultures
After spending 3 years at the University of Aberdeen, I can definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a university that will help them succeed! Teachers, there, are always encouraging and ready to help students by providing the best feedback or answers to questions they may have. The campus is also very agreeable and people will discover many societies that they can join.
A good university with a wide range of courses that are diverse and tend to be inclusive for all. Professors and doctors are nice, try to make you feel comfortable in class, and are very concerned about your mental health. Events for both introverts and extroverts are proposed, so you can always find something that meet your criteria.
Very good university. So many memories
Definitely everything at Fraser Studio is the best! The reception staffs are always patient and friendly. Love Fraser!
Overall the campus and facilities are quite nice with the teaching at a great standard. They have a great variety of societies available for anyone to join. Most likely to find a society for every hobby or interest.
