University of Aberdeen

This is better than any institution in my home country, the courses, the lecturers and the facilities are miles beyond the accepted standard in the education system globally today

One of the best aspects of studying at the University of Aberdeen is the strong academic support and access to great facilities, like the Sir Duncan Rice Library. The campus is also beautiful, and the student community is welcoming, which makes it easy to settle in and feel part of things. The lecturers are knowledgeable and approachable, and there are plenty of resources available to support learning. However, an area for improvement would be increasing study spaces during busy times, as it can sometimes be hard to find a quiet spot, especially around exam periods. Additionally, having more streamlined access to online resources and library services in one place, like MyAberdeen, would make it even easier to access what we need for our studies.

Well if you're excited for a finest career in UK, a Scottish biscuit, chilled weather and a great Ceilidh dance, then University of Aberdeen is the right place for you! University of Aberdeen is a great place to study. Being one of the oldest universities in the UK, it makes the campus very special. It's a good place to study as every student is preparing for the exams from time to time, building community with all ethnicities and trying to achieve the best opportunity by enhancing the expectations of being the best University in the world. There is lots to explore and every person that comes to this university will find a way to achieve professionalism. The style of teaching is great and practical which will enable you to keep improving everyday and to never miss session. It is my first time experiencing this kind of a weather in this beautiful place. Every morning it reminds you of your responsibilities that you're willing to take on a daily basis. That what makes it exciting and amicable. The student support is great as they'll guide you for what you're looking for. Whereas Student Union will look for students who are excited and willing to join various societies and clubs to build a family of UoA. Aberdeen University Student Association (AUSA) organises various events for get together. There are indoor and outdoor sport communities for students to join. Communities for arts, entertainment, religion and so on. You can visit any of these societies/clubs once you priorities your schedule well. It's truly fun. I've also visited the Careers Connect which is at the Student Union guides you to direct your passion towards what you want to achieve in your career life. They also do help you with interview skills and promote students in attending UK job fairs of organizations and banks. Sir Duncan Rice Library was inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth is the best library in the Scotland. You can study well and enjoy the beautiful view of Aberdeen from all the floors at the library. Campus tour and induction is the right place to start as you meet new people from different study backgrounds, nations and so on. Not to mention the food court at student union, Sir Duncan Rice library, craft bakers and hot chocolate in it's vicinity. You can grab a snack/food anywhere in the campus especially when you're in a hurry for any class. As it's just been my first month and I have experienced all of these moments as described above. Well University of Aberdeen is full of possibilities. Hope this helps you decide your next move in life. Good luck :)

I like the buildings and people here are very friendly I just join UOA two days ago and I am happy with everything so no comments on improvements so far

Hasn’t been a bad experience overall but as I said previously my course MSc Econ was structured to be taught in person rather than online so personally I feel like it would have been better for that to happen but Corona said no. I think my lecturers and the school did their best to make sure things went on smoothly still so I’ll commend them for that. Hopefully now that the pandemic is under control teaching and learning can go back to normal and become more effective. Also I think something that could have been done to help in the face of the current difficulty was to subsidise the fees a bit as everything was happening online so I can argue that students weren’t get full value for money for fees that we were paying. Maybe subsequently that can be looked into even though we hope this kind of event doesn’t happen again.
