University of Aberdeen
About
Established to serve the north-east of Scotland, today our university is a global presence in higher education. A dual focus on our region and the wider world is as important to us today as it was five centuries ago.
Founded in 1495, the University of Aberdeen is one of the oldest and most respected universities in the UK, recognised internationally for the quality and impact of its research, teaching, and innovation. Rooted in a historic tradition of excellence yet driven by a forward-looking commitment to solving global challenges, the University brings together world-class expertise across disciplines—from health, energy and environment, to social sciences, humanities and technology.
Our diverse and inclusive community of students and staff represents more than 130 countries, fostering a vibrant, global learning environment. As a research-intensive institution, we work closely with industry, government, and communities to translate knowledge into real-world solutions that improve lives locally and worldwide.
Based in northeast Scotland, with campuses in Aberdeen and Qatar, the University of Aberdeen combines a rich heritage with modern facilities, cutting-edge research capabilities, and an enduring mission: to inspire ambition, nurture curiosity, and make a positive, lasting contribution to society.
