Aberdeen City is a charming and vibrant destination that offers a unique mix of history and culture. The city's coastal location also means there are plenty of opportunities to explore the beautiful beaches and coastal trails, while the city centre is full of great restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions. Overall, Aberdeen is a must-visit destination in Scotland that has something for everyone.

Study in Aberdeen

Aberdeen has the distinction of being the home of one of the oldest universities both in the UK and Europe, the University of Aberdeen, which was established in 1425. The city is also home to Robert Gordon University and the two universities enjoy some friendly rivalry. 

 

University of Aberdeen

The University of Aberdeen combines ancient traditions with modern teaching and facilities. Teaching is organised across 12 schools which encompasses a broad range of disciplines. With multi-million pound investment, students are provided with some of the best facilities in the UK.

 

Robert Gordon University

Robert Gordon University, commonly known as RGU, prides itself on reputation for producing graduates that are highly sought after by employers. The teaching at the university has been recognised with a gold award by the Teaching Excellence Framework. The university has 11 academic schools based at the Garthdee Campus just outside Aberdeen city centre.

Aberdeen Student Life

About 10% of the city is made up of students so it is really geared towards the two universities. There are plenty of activities and entertainment to keep you busy when you have time away from the books, whilst being set in the beautiful grey granite architecture of Aberdeen.

Public Transport

There is a great bus service in Aberdeen and it is also a good city to get around by bike. To travel further afield Aberdeen has great road and rail service with regular train services to major cities such as Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. Aberdeen also has an international airport, which provides an extensive network of routes across the UK and Europe. 

Eating Out

Shopping

The Union Square, Trinity and Academy Shopping Centres are right at the heart of Aberdeen’s retail zone. Union Street, also known as the Granite Mile, is the main high street area where you’ll find popular shops such as Primark, Apple and Zara. Belmont Street you’ll find specialist and independent shops whilst at the top of Union Street is where you can find your high-end shopping - if that’s your bag. 

Days Out

Aberdeenshire Castle Trail

If you like castles, you’ll love this. The list covers thirteen of the best castles the region has to offer. We can’t guarantee all the roofs are still in one piece so take an umbrella, just in case!

Whisky

Probably Scotland’s most famous export, so it would be a shame not to find out some more about it. The Glen Garioch Distillery is about half an hour outside the city and will give a tour, as well as a wee dram or two for you to sample.

Golf

Like most Scottish cities, there’s a bit of a golf fixation going on, with half a dozen large golf courses spread around the outskirts of Aberdeen. Why not try your hand at Kings Link Golf Centre?

Cairngorms National Park

The stunning heart of the Highlands. Head here for outdoor adventuring, and perhaps a glimpse of majestic red deer or golden eagles.

Coastline

Aberdeen’s own beach is pretty nice and sandy, and if you want to go further afield you’ll find everything from quiet fishing villages to dramatic clifftops.

I'm not really a...

I'm not really a fan of Aberdeen since I have lived in Aberdeenshire for the last 19 years. The city is dull with shops closing left and right. The council is unable to fix its debt problem and blames the taxpayers for the issues. The night out experience gets dull and boring after less than a month of staying here. All the clubs are dead unless it is a Saturday, and even then it is a terrible experience. The pubs are okay, Malones on Shiprow is the best pub I've been to, they host a pub quiz every Thursday with Andy as the host, if you win you have a chance to win up to £100 in vouchers. Throughout the day there isn't really anything to do in the city. Cadonas is boring after you go there for the first few times. You can only see the museums every so often. Union Street is beyond dead, it is decomposing. The only plus I have for this city is that I get to leave every weekend. read more

Aberdeen is connected with a lot of bus routes travelling to the city centre and different parts of the city.

There is a range of cuisines and bars located in the city, students have a busy night life around several pubs. There are 3 main shopping malls, bringing most brands in the city. Grocery shops are spread in the city and easily accessible, there are also Asian shops in the city centre to offer an alternative option for grocery. read more

The rent in my accommodation is a bit much by like a lot. There are plenty of places to eat out in town, though they are a bit pricey, which you can get to on in incredibly reliable (though almost always three to five minutes late) busses. I’m not really a club person so I can’t say much but I know that there are more clubs than you can shake a stick at, though there’s only one gay bar. As for shops there’s a good few but the biggest one near to me is the Asda in Garthdee which is my go to. read more

Aberdeen is a tru...

Aberdeen is a true gem of a city nestled in Scotland's picturesque landscape. Known as the Granite City for its historic, silver-grey stone buildings, Aberdeen beautifully blends its rich history with the vibrancy of a modern urban center. A walk around the city reveals well-preserved architectural marvels, from the stunning Marischal College to the majestic St Machar's Cathedral, each telling a story of Aberdeen's past. The city's art and culture scene is also worth mentioning with the impressive Art Gallery, multiple theatres, and the annual Aberdeen International Youth Festival. For nature lovers, the city doesn't disappoint. The abundance of parks and green spaces, including the verdant Duthie Park and Johnston Gardens, is refreshing. The long, sandy beach, though chilly, offers a wonderful place for a leisurely stroll with beautiful views of the North Sea. read more

What I like most...

What I like most about Aberdeen city and Aberdeenshire is the picturesque landscapes of the countryside (including our campus) and moving into the National Cairngorms, historical castles and Royal Family connections through Balmoral, and an immense variety of gardens and parks to explore to truly feel part of nature when living in Aberdeen. For someone who loves the outdoors, it’s great that it’s right at our fingertips in Aberdeen since being on the coastline with beaches and the local people are renowned for being welcoming and friendly to those visiting the city. As a student with a passion for sport and physical activity, the city offers a wide range of indoor sporting facilities, for to all ages and abilities to encourage everyone to get active. Not only that, but outdoor sports are also highly popular in the city, with many golf courses available, and opportunities for water sports and snow sports, meaning there is a facility in place to suit everybody’s interests. read more

As a student it’s better to make the big groceries at ALDI or LIDL for a lower price range. The city centre does have lots of shops so it’s fun to go window shopping or go around during sales as well. Eating out procès might vary depending on the type of food. For a buffet you could go to COSMO very nice( around 20£ each), fast food obviously don’t cost that much so it’s fine. Other restaurants such as Choapraya , miller & carter style house are very fancy and of course required much more so it’s advisable to plan something like 50£/ adult for a good diner. Concerning the transport Uber are fine. Aberdeen city taxi is cheaper than rainbow city taxi. And also bus free for under 22! Enjoy the town. read more

It is a beautiful place with very lovely people. I love the fact that the city is within a walking distance to my university and my area of residence, therefore, i spend less on transport. The weekends are always lively and they help brush off the stress from the busy week. Waking at the beaches has become a custom and it gives me inner peace and somehow slows down my academic thought processing to have time to think about life and its goodness. read more

The « granite city » is definitely not the most attractive for students. Even though the university of aberdeen offers an extremely nice student life, if you go closer to the city center you will not be fully satisfied. As a french student, ive experienced better nightlife (clubs close at 2) and food life (british food essentially and it is not well known for its quality). But getting to town is definitely the most difficult because of the untrustworthyness of public transport (free for under 22 years old) read more

I absolutely LOVE living here. Perfect sized city. Plenty green spaces. Access to beach and bars and clubs at an equal distance. Everyone friendly. Beautiful streets on main road, very underrated. I genuinely was disappointed to have my only uni offer here- I thought Aberdeen was a bit unexciting. But I love it. One night- pub crawl. Next night- bonfire on the beach. Next day- swimming in the sea (oh yes, lectures too). That night- Revolution bar on Belmont street followed by clubbing at underground. A real sense of student community. read more

Average student rent in Aberdeen is very cheap compared to much if the UK. The cost of living crisis could hit you hard if you chose to live in a privately rented flat just because it gets quite cold so I would recommend an accommodation where bills are all inclusive like Mezzino. There's a good nightlife scene and a wide range of restaurants and most are quite affordable. Shopping is not that great as lots of shops have closed down in recent years and because buses are so infrequent it can sometimes make a journey take double the time so driving is much more convenient. read more

I came to Aberdeen during the falls (September) and wow I am in love with the beauty of the place. One downside is I stay near the University of Aberdeen so have to walk approx 30mins to reach the town (union street). That’s a happening place in Aberdeen, else the country side can be pretty isolated but beautiful. Initially I used to feel a bit worried about the place being so quiet , now i adore the state of tranquility that comes with being in Aberdeen. read more

Aberdeen is a very peaceful city. Here you can study in peace. It is also very safe and you don't have to worry about your personal safety. Most people still treat international students very well.

Aberdeen is a gem of a city. Although small and you need to know it well to get the most out of it, it is a safe city with good outdoor spaces. Its location is also great for outdoor sports- a 45-minute drive and you are out in the depths of the shire! It is a city that gets better the more and more you know it. There are great communities- such as Swim Free- to be found too read more

The city is small, but very peaceful. The most affordable places in the UK and jobs are plentiful due to oil and gas industry and accounting firms. It's a student city (almost 40 thousand) study and work here. The accommodation is cheap but can be difficult to find one during start of academic year. Lot of attractions nearby. The city is sunny, windy and rainy all at the same time. Recommend dolphin and seal walking at the tory battery. read more

Cost of living wa...

Cost of living was cheap in terms of private flats however, energy bills were so expensive. Bulb needs to stop overcharging people. Eating out was expensive with majority of restaurants and takeaways not having tasty food at all. However, a few cafes were enjoyable. In terms of shopping, shops are constantly closing all over Union Street and you get tired of going to the same shops in Union Square (which have the same old stock) so end up shopping online instead or not shopping at all. Public transport can be reliable at times, however, most of the time it isn't which is shocking because Aberdeen is so small and there are only a handful of buses! If you travel out of Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire, you have to sometimes walk on the side of dual carriageways and roads. Scotland needs more trains linking to tourist attractions and better infrastructure overall. Young people shouldn't have to be using StageCoaches full of old people to travel to a tourist attraction. read more

Let's be honest:...

Let's be honest: living in Aberdeen can be relatively expensive. For instance, as I am French, I was struck by the price and the quality of meat compared to that you can find in France. During many conversations with my friends, we agreed that grocery shopping was incredibly expensive in the UK. Moreover, compared to other cities in Scotland, Aberdeen is maybe not as dynamic. You will find few museums to visit, there are not lots of events, and if you don't have a car, you can hardly access historical sites nearby. Yet, if you are looking for a human-sized city and if you do not want to be too distracted from your studies, then Aberdeen is the perfect city! read more

Each part of this city makes you love it, you don't only will be able to live in a place having a beach but also mountains. Moreover the city centre is great to go with friends, because you are able to do everything in one place; but what I love the most is being able to walk to every place of this city. read more

The weekly shop can be done for a reasonable price, and there’s loads of places to go for food etc. Nights out are very very good but it can be super expensive during the weekend. Shopping is pretty good but most students just shop online as shopping trips aren’t really in most people’s budget! Public transport in the city itself is generally good, however, if wanting to travel slightly further afield eg into Aberdeenshire for a day out, thorough planning is required as services become less reliable depending on the provider and area etc. read more

Coming from a small town, the facilities and various things to do have blown me away. I feel safe here at all times and have never been bored in the 2 years I've been here. If drinking is your thing then you have your pick of many bars and clubs all situated in the city centre. If you are sporty then Aberdeen Sports Village is opposite Aberdeen University and is a world class facility cheap to students. For shopping you have 3 shopping centres within 5 mins walk of each other and many other shops along union street. Or if you're an idiot like me, you can go crab hunting and exploring down the beach at midnight with a torch. read more

Aberdeen is a lov...

Aberdeen is a lovely city with a great location for getting into the highlands or spending time on the sea. However, it does lack in amenities such as a broad selection of cheap eats--most of the pubs in town have the exact same menu and ethnic options are very similar and not of good quality. Shopping is eh: a repeat of your basic shops all within blocks of one another with City Centre dead after 6:00 pm. Public transport is overpriced, ALWAYS late, and not convenient; there are two companies operating with Stagecoach offering the best fares and forays into the wider parts of Aberdeenshire but First providing more routes around the city itself. I would have liked more restaurants and shopping within walking distance of each neighborhood and, definitely, more entertainment and restaurant options around the University of Aberdeen campus. FYI: if you come to Scotland expecting sunshine and warm weather, you are gravely mistaken; be wary of seagulls. read more

a great bus service to and from campus making the relatively short journey into the city centre easier! There are 3 shopping malls and a large high street with plenty of shops. I found that everything I needed was catered for including several large supermarkets close to halls. Accommodation is difficult to find after halls and can be expensive, so searching early is essential! Nights out are great as well, with cheap drinks at Paramount and good atmosphere in most other clubs. read more

Aberdeen is an amazing city, On a night out, most people are out to have a good time and not cause trouble, one of the best nightclubs is Underground who do great theme nights over the whole year. Korova is a lovely place to eat and drink with half price food on mondays and half price cocktails from tuesday to thursday, great place for pre-drinks read more
