So far I’m happy I chose to study at UoA, I like the fact that I could choose different classes from outside my discipline to study in my first year. Campus is also pretty good we have a Starbucks and there’s a subway + food court in the student union. My lecturers are also very friendly and really want to help us learn. Would recommend coming to UoA 100%!
good ancient university with affordable expense
Great University with exceptional teaching staff and a variety of student services.
It’s a very nice place for studying
Good university with lecturers who have great in-depth knowledge in the subject and it's application in real world. Practical design of the course.
Enjoyed my years at the university.
Really supportive staff, Fair amount of workload but not difficult to keep up with.
Nice campus, professional tutor, good environment and amazing library
Excellent school. Never regret choosing it.
Amazing clubs societies specifically AUTIC and EBS they have the best social on campus or better yet Aberdeen like they really take Aberdeen to an Aberdream they held the best academical ball of the year and they are there for you 24/7.
I have really enjoyed my time at Aberdeen University and would definitely recommend it! The campus is beautiful and the facilities are brilliant, especially the connection the university has to Aberdeen Sports Village facilities!
care about my mental health very much and give me many help
Powis place is a nice apartment. I’m a Chinese student of UoA. I like this apartment, because of their workers are very friendly to Chinese. Especially in some Chinese traditional festival, they will paste some paintings to celebrate Chinese festival, it makes me feel like live in China, and it’s also a good way to make people meet Chinese culture.
Lots of students that you can meet and connect with
A highly recommended university with a great student population. Wide range of courses and helpful staff. Degrees are very flexible and allow you to study a wide range of subjects creating a well rounded education.
Amazing University on the frontier of science and research.
Great University, can highly recommend it.
Everything is as expected from a university, no problems with anything besides some of the facilities looking a bit on the old side
Great University, but societies has been affected a lot by COVID.
It's one of the best universities in Aberdeen and all over UK
School facilities, beautiful environment, rich club activities.
The staff at the University have been very kind and helpful. There is a wide range of societies, so there is something for everyone.
The uni cares massively about improving its’ facilities and teaching, constantly taking on feedback from us and implementing it. I recently caught covid and received messages from the staff asking if I was doing alright and if I needed anything which was very reassuring as you don’t normally get that from other universities.
A great place to study and make friends. The staff is super professional and friendly.
Due to the epidemic, I didn't have a lot of time to stay at school. So there is very little advice that I can give.
Good teaching and learning facilities. Friendly staff and student. Responsive and helpful instructors.
The staff is very friendly and makes me feel very comfortable.
There are no disadvantages except that the room is small. In particular, I was very satisfied with the delivery. I would receive an email to remind me that the delivery had arrived. Paul was also very responsible and careful. All in all, very good.
The king street exchange is an excellent place to stay. Paul and Sophie are fantastic employees who are always willing to help anybody in need.
The University is amazing. Concerning clubs and societies
Great school, especially welcoming to international students
I have a nice experience during my stay in first semester. The classrooms have stable and excellent facilities and teachers are patient.I can feel that humanistic care are everywhere in the school.
Aberdeen University is a beautiful place. It's a pleasure to study here.
I’m studying Law with English Law at University of Aberdeen and so far my experience has been great. I’ve particularly enjoyed the sports clubs and societies!
Great experience good facilities
I love studying at the University of Aberdeen, the courses are great and the staff are always happy to help. The campus is beautiful too.
It's an old university, it's thick, it's inclusive and I enjoy the learning and the slower pace of life here.
Its a great uni if you choose the right courses
Good university no major complaints
Great place for a PGT degree. Lecturer's and staff are helpful and accommodating
Excellent very friendly and helpful
Good university. Very nice campus
Great university and lots of events and facilities
The university is great. It has an amazing array of clubs. The Aberdeen sports village is also amazing.
The music department of the university is great. Facilities are great and there’s a wide range of musical groups to join to get involved.
For Med school, and so far I like the program! Quite a lot of clinical, which is always an advantage, and no PBL heheh
Great University and societies!
Its amazing and Im very happy to be one of it student
It’s a great place to get good grades and due to the multicultural environment, it’s really a welcoming environment.
The university is perfect for the courses that they offer
Over Covid there was no one to answer the phone if students had any enquiries and it would take ages for them to respond to e-mails. There is no real students union and communication over covid was awful.
They are very friendly, and when you have any difficulties, they will come to help you immediately and serve you 24 hours a day
The university overall has good quality education and facilities.
Good, no complaint, but haven't been able to use or see the services due to Covid.
Great campus facilities. Wifi works well
Have really enjoyed my time here: peoole are friendly and parts of campus are gorgeous!
Loved my experience here so far
10/10. Aberdeen may be a small city but it has so much to offer. The university want to help their students if there are any issues and specifically the English and linguistics department are top notch, lovely people
Had good facilities and have enjoyed the experience.
Great location. Owen at reception very helpful with any queries
Clean and tidy to what I have seen of it
Caitlin asked how my day was and made me happy again.
It's an okay uni, a large amount of lecturers don't really seem that interested in you or your development. Campus is pretty though.
heard from my friend, it’s a very nice accommodation.
Not all staff tries to do their best to help the students
Been living here at Fraser studio(406)for quite a while now and it has been quite an awesome time I got from here especially with the kind&engaging staff who willing to assists at all the time
Living here is very comfortable, the front desk service attitude is very good
Good academic university overall. Wouldn't recommend living in uni halls considering the price is expensive (on par with private accommodation but you get less).
Nice location, great library and social spaces. Union and student services could be better utilised.
University of Aberdeen is a good school to learn as you socialize and connect to people of multicultural background.
When I need a transcript and a certificate of study, the school can help me very quickly. At the same time, because of the epidemic, my student ID card was also received by mail. And the bass I borrowed from school kept me company during my long life at home.
Its a really beautiful and historic university and you will enjoy the campus. Sadly haven’t been able to explore more due to the pandemic.
Great uni, friendly staff, and clean campus. The best place to study is the Rice Cube.
Best education, best lecturers and best facilities
Great campus and fantastic facilities
Campus is great, all staff are helpful and friendly!
I haven't been able to visit the university much due to Covid, however, when I had tutorials at the beginning of the year the campus was really nice.
Absolutely amazing uni definitely the right choice
The University of Aberdeen has opened so many doors to opportunities even during times of despair and uncertainty. They're doing an amazing job with online University lectures and teaching.
University experience has been solid so far
I enjoy my stay here and the transportation is very convenient
Good uni. Nice campus. Good range of societies
poor wifi is the only problem I have experienced here
The campus is great outside of covid times. the union I put down because it’s not great for nightlife but I do like the food court. I am part of so many societies and the events are great. Especially in the ways they have adapted to the pandemic.
Very Friendly and welcoming environment. :D
Really good, great facilities and teaching.
University has made sure all its students and staff have been kept safe, especially during the time where lock down was eased and some in person teaching was being held on campus. There are many support services for all students, staying in Aberdeen and elsewhere, that are available 24/7. These are a real help especially when people feel isolated during working from home.
Everything satisfactory. Broad selection of societies, students union isn't great but serviceable. Careers Service does everything you'd expect it to.
The University is absolutely amazing!
Nice environment but most buildings could be renovated. The StudentHub is super handy with a wide selection of food. Lots of clubs and societies. Right now, the university is not taking good care of the students well being.
the student union is crap and the university has struggled during the pandemic to care for student welfare. I enjoy my courses and the lecturing and tutoring staff work hard and give good quality lessons. the university is let down by its senate who continue to place policies that negatively effect students such as the no detriment policy and the rounding down of grades. I do enjoy going to university here however and before the pandemic the nightlife and social aspects of living here were brilliant.
University is nice, but sometimes it has some problems, such as delayed reply. However, I feel be happy to study here.
No Detriment Policy should be put through
The wifi is surprisingly good on campus in my opinion. In general, the campus is very pretty and especially the library has a nice atmosphere.
Nice environment in the university!
Campus is lovely if a bit grey!
i really enjoy being a student and the university of Aberdeen. the campus is beautiful and it is very socialable.
I have enjoyed my time at UoA so far. COVID means I haven't even visited the student union yet. The wifi on campus is good, can sometimes access it at the beach. There are plenty of clubs/societies but many aren't running as normal or at all.
the library is huge and it gives a nice atmosphere vibe to focus on my studies. as the teaching is mostly online and the usage of campus facilities is quite limited, I cannot give much comment on that yet.
Good facilities, very welcoming
