Such a great space! The lecturers are super passionate and supportive. I also live on campus and it’s really beautiful. The campus is quiet and a gorgeous location. I have only been here since September but I know I will miss it when I graduate in two years. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. The course itself is incredible. It’s very intense but all of the staff are supportive and I’m also enjoying being a class rep. There’s lots of opportunities for independent development! I feel like it’s the ideal university to thrive

What students say about counselling-skills

I adore the campus and I am proud to say that I have studied at Aberdeen. The support services are excellent and lecturers are generally excellent. However, there is not a lot going on round about the uni and transport links are not great in Aberdeen. The students union leaves a lot to be desired.

What students say about counselling-skills

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.
