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.

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.

Aberdeen University is excellent. They provide traditional, high class education that rivals what is on offer from neighbouring institutions across the UK. All the buildings are close by. Only a short bus journey or 30 minute walk into the centre where all the shops, pubs, and cafes are. Much more international than expected - but still some locals/rUK. Class sizes are small, that made me feel valued and that staff had time for me, even in 1st year. Sometimes it felt like I was at an Ivy league/RG because of the small tutorials and class sizes (3rd year on wards). They are completing a new science building so lab classes will be in state of the art facilities. OK - not everyone likes the library because of space issues, but there are many quiet places on campus to study. Probably one of the best non-Russell group Unis. My undergrad experience here was much better than a higher ranking University I went to after. Rankings don't mean anything.

Academic teaching well delivered with loads of extra curriculum activities. In the heart of Aberdeen and not far from city centre activities for weekend entertainment

Positives: library is really modern and amazing to study in, the number of international students is really high which makes meeting people from all over the world really easy. Negatives: If you want to study business at this uni: don't, business school is an absolute joke and uni doesn't seem to care. The city is very small, grey and there isn't much going on (besides society events). It's also not bike friendly.

Good university, lacks a good social atmosphere so it’s easy to become a recluse. But lectures are typical helpful

The uni really has everything that you could expect. It’s a fairly classic setup, it’s not boring and it’s conducive to a classic uni experience. There’s lots of things to do it’s just a matter of exploring. The student union also send endless emails so it’s impossible not to know what’s going on.

I am currently studying Civil Engineering and cannot recommend the University enough. As a previous Marine Biology student of Stirling University, I am blown away by what it is to finally have a real education (do not go to Stirling, seriously). The teaching facilities and top class and the Duncan Rice library is something to behold, although I cant help but think how many more computers they could fit on each floor if it weren't for the big holes in the middle. Aberdeen Sports Village is in partnership with the University and has everything: Huge gym, indoor and outdoor running tracks, 2 full size football pitches (indoor and out door), 2 hockey pitches, 50 metre pool, Olympic dive pool and much more - all available to students at a cheap price. There are several places to eat and socialise from Starbucks to food courts, but no traditional union to speak of. Instead we have The Bobbin and Red Lion - bars practically on campus. Phenomenal student support! We are valued.

The University of Aberdeen is a great University, there is many societies you can join and the facilities on campus are very good. The Sir Duncan Rice Libary is also very useful when you just want a quiet space to study (if you can find a space).

I entered Aberdeen University in 2014 and was one of the 'mature' students put into temporary accommodation. I felt very segregated because of this because I was not put into halls like most students and this made my social life more far more difficult - which was incredibly unhelpful as a music student. I had a very long and arduous battle just to get into the university. Having now graduated I sometimes wish I never have had bothered putting myself through such a ordeal but there were few benefits - finding work/experience and meeting new people (eventually). I was also dyslexic and had other learning difficulties and I really felt 3rd and 4th year just went really downhill - I was very unhappy with how the course was run with the communities programme, lecturers for various reasons, no help from dyslexic advisor (off all term) combined with strike action on another course I was studying and I could feel my physical and mental health failing.

Uni of Aberdeen is a good school, I enjoy attending it. Courses are well constructed and there is lot of effort out into providing students with outside school activities such as sports clubs or various societies.
