The University of Aberdeen is a historic Scottish institution located in the city of Aberdeen. Founded to serve the north-east of Scotland, it has grown into a global university recognised for excellence in teaching and research. The university combines a strong regional focus with an international outlook, welcoming students and staff from around the world. Its values centre on inclusivity, interdisciplinarity, international collaboration, and sustainability.

Teaching and research are organised across twelve schools, covering a wide range of academic disciplines, and supported by several interdisciplinary research centres and institutes. The main campuses are situated in Old Aberdeen and at Foresterhill. Old Aberdeen is home to many of the university’s historic buildings, some dating back to the 15th century, while Foresterhill is one of Europe’s largest health campuses, linking education and research directly with medical practice.
