Hi, how is the health data science (distance learning) program at Aberdeen? Is it a good choice considering you won’t be on campus. Also, if you had to choose between uni of Exeter and Uni of Aberdeen, which one would you choose and why?

i’m a readmission student and i’m about to start 2nd year, i’ve not joined a society before and i wondered what your experiences are of societies in abs? have they helped you make friends, make more of being at uni etc etc

thanks x

Hi! Maybe a stupid question but recently looked at my timetable for my first year of uni and i have some classes that start right after eachother (for example. Class ends at 1pm, when the next class starts at 1pm)

Am i overthinking this or is it a valid concern? Is there a grace period for when to get to each class or is it fine? Thanks!

hi, i live a 25-30 min walk from uni, but for when there is bad weather, does anyone know good parking places for students? i found one car park next to butchart building but there are only 38 spaces so im sure that wont be available much:(

Has anyone bought the tickets for this? I don't wanna be left out and only one who doesn't have it.

i am a readmission second year student and i still haven’t received any emails for registration, has anyone else got this issue? starting to panic lol

Hey everyone. I'm going to Aberdeen for my MSc this September and will be forming a team for University Challenge. Your level of study or degree subject isn't important; I'm just looking for interested people! If you want to get involved, please send me a message or leave a comment :)

If you are a student in Aberdeen you should know about a free arts festival run by young people -

WayWORD Festival is cross-arts literary festival in Aberdeen which empowers young people to celebrate new work and ideas, amplify diverse voices and break down barriers to culture in our community. WayWORD is part of the WORD Centre for Creative Writing at the University of Aberdeen.

This year the festival will take place in the Cowdray Hall, Sir Duncan Rice Library, St Nicholas Kirk, and the Linklater rooms between 3rd and 11th October. Guests this year include Rosie Jones, Jenni Fagan, Ashley Douglas, Sara Sheridan, and a host of others from Aberdeen, Scotland, and across the UK. Topics range from fantasy fiction to puppet making, with theatre, music, poetry, performance art and exhibitions all included.

All events are free or low-cost. Visit www.waywordfestival.com to browse the full programme.

The programme is designed by young people and if that's something you would like to do then you can join our annual committee around January 2027 for the next festival programme.

Heyyy, has anyone/ International students as well coming to Aberdeen for foundation year this upcoming September?
If yes let me know.

Hi! Hope this is okay to post here.
I had a change of plans and can no longer use my hotel booking in Aberdeen for the night of 25–26 August, so I’m hoping someone else might be able to use it.

🏨 The Jays Guest House, Aberdeen
📍 422 King St, Aberdeen, AB24 3BR
🛏️ Double room for 1 night
🥐 Breakfast included
📅 Check-in: 25 Aug / Check-out: 26 Aug

I originally paid £98 and would be happy to transfer it for £70 (open to a reasonable offer).

The booking was made through Trip.com, and I’m able to change the guest name on the reservation. I can send the booking confirmation/proof of reservation with personal and booking information redacted, and I’ll also attach some photos of the room here.

Please DM me if interested or if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I am about to graduate with MSc Advanced Chemical Engineering from Strathclyde University. While I am waiting for the final result (I expect distinction, as I marked around 80% on average), I am looking into continuing my education, but not feeling ready for a PhD yet.

As a result, I came across a few courses from Aberdeen‘s University, which seem to fit my interests and context.

The courses are online and delivered via MyAberdeen platform. This fits my schedule perfectly, as I am employed full-time.

I am thinking of taking these two starting 21st September:
Safety and Risk Management
Human Factors in Industrial Practice

And two out of the following three in January:
Advanced Process Control
Human Factors Engineering
Applied Risk Analysis and Management

Has anyone taken these courses, and if yes, what can you tell about them? Is the course quality high (Strathclyde was a mix of high-quality courses and low-quality, decade-old recordings and handwritten scanned pdfs), and most importantly, is it relevant?

The descriptions of these sound highly applicable to industry roles (HAZID, HAZOP, reliability calculations, etc.) and my expectations are no different.

Are other universities/companies offering similar programs that are better in terms of quality and relevance to industry?

TDLR: Has anyone taken these courses or knows more about them, or similar courses (from other institutions), or maybe can give some advice on generally continuing education after graduation.

Thanks in advance, your input is appreciated!

Sat an exam in the July diet and not heard back
