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.
Teaching at the University of Aberdeen is organised across 12 schools which encompass a broad range of disciplines. Multidisciplinary research centres and institutes bring together experts at the cutting-edge of their fields to work with colleagues across the UK and beyond.
Most teaching at the University of Aberdeen takes place at our two main campuses, located in Old Aberdeen and at Foresterhill. Multi-million pound investment across the University provides students and researchers with some of the best facilities in the UK.
The home of the University, Old Aberdeen, is one of the most beautiful and historic urban areas in Scotland, with buildings dating back to the 15th Century. Explore its storied heritage with a walking tour, come to one of our open days, or attend one of our many public events.
