Studying at University of Aberdeen has been a truly rewarding experience because of its supportive academic environment, knowledgeable staff, and diverse international community. The university encourages independent thinking and research development while also providing students with guidance and opportunities to grow both academically and personally. One area that could always be further improved is expanding student support and social spaces even more, but overall it remains an inspiring and welcoming place to study.

What students say about software-engineering

PROS - The university has been absolutely stellar at providing opportunities to those who put in that extra effort. - Support, particularly the maths gym provided by the uni for those needing extra math tuition is an incredible resource. - Lecturers are always quick to respond to questions and available for feedback out with timetabled classes. - The facilities available to electrical engineering students (the GRiD in particular) is very good. More advanced equipment is available to those who require it through research projects or other related endeavours. - The university shop and various cafes/canteens all have quality products and competitive prices. CONS - Some course have suffered when lecturers are delivering them for their first time. This is understandable however. - Issues with inaccurate or frequently fluctuating timetables can be frustrating at times.

Alot of facilities and mice buildings for spaces but also gets very crowded on those spots which is fine and creates a nice environment. It's got alot of scenic places and has nice building that look good from the inside as well. Improvement could include maybe more sockets in the older buildings for devices since those can be hard to get in some lecture rooms in the older building. The uni is close to quite a good bit of food spots like cafes and Lidl as well as Greggs and a Tesco express so lunch isn't a problem most times.

What students say about software-engineering

I think the university has a lot of good societies and clubs for students to join, making it easier to meet people and make friends. All the lecturers and staff are really engaged in our learning, they want to support us to do our best and try to make adjustments to the course/assignments where they can to help us. I do think the buildings could be better for people with disabilities, such as more automatic doors, ensuring lift maintenance is a priority and putting card scanners for doors in a accessible location. I also think it would be good if there was options to pick up extra modules or tutoring for those that need help with English or want extra help/studies on certain elements of their course or want to learn something new on the side.

What students say about software-engineering

The atmosphere at this university is great! The union is always lively, with pool and darts, hot food, music and lots of room for socialising. Even when in class it feels great, the lectures are always informative and the seminars mean that the tutors can really help and talk to the students. I like the fact that each semester the students can choose their own seminar times, creating a timetable that suits their schedule. The location of this university is one of my favourite things, such a close walk to the main shopping street and some great places for food. Also close to to GCU which is great as the students can mix and hang out together. Overall this university is a great place to apply and i am very happy with the decision i made!

I hope the school can give international students more opportunities to speak with native English speakers. Almost everyone in the class was Chinese, and there weren't many opportunities to interact with other people.

The staff are great! They are always there for support and I never feel like I do not have someone to approach when struggling. Having a personal tutor is so beneficial as well, as you always have them to talk to whether it be about your studies, personal matters or career paths! I also love that it is all one campus so no need to run between building to building making it to classes as they all link in some way. The student wellbeing service is also a great support system in place, the counselling service is extremely helpful and an amazing thing to have built into the university.

The best aspects are: The campus itself, its really beautiful and really nice to be around so much nature. The societies on offer are brilliant because there are so many options and each one of them are properly run by enthusiastic people, plus they are very cheap to join. The sports clubs are also amazing with lots of options to choose from and you can meet people with similar hobbies. The worst aspects are: The buildings themselves can be very confusing and they do not look good from the outside. However the updated interior makes them very modern from the inside. There isn't a lot of space to study or eat because it is often very busy in the atrium which can be annoying.
