I just got accepted to Aberdeen for my masters in creative writing! This has made me want to accept hehe, so thanks!
Congrats! I'm glad you enjoyed the video
I've waiting to hear back about my masters in creative writing there too!
Watching this has really helped me not be as nervous. I’m so excited to start studying here in September!
Aww that's great! I'm glad my video has eased some of your nerves. Best of luck for when you start!
Omg sameee!!
One question, do you know how get in contact with the freshers group chats??
@@anerisackerman5783 I think they’re on Facebook? But I’m not too sure sorry. I’m moving up next week so I figured those in the same flat as me might know
@@anerisackerman5783 what course are you starting? Also if you find out how to get in contact with the freshers chats let me know please
Very nice and classic architecture building , I was there on last sept 2023❤
Aberdeen Uni, is so beautiful. I'm at RGU but I think the Aberdeen Uni Campus is just gorgeous.
I agree, it is a great campus!
Thanks soo much for this video :) I'm from Germany and I am thinking about applying there but I didn't really have the chance to visit the uni so far
You're welcome! I'm glad you found this video helpful
Same! Except being german XD
I just watched your video; and thank you for that little tour, I'm not quite sure whether it reassured me or stressed me out a bit more from how huge it is ! XD I'm a French HS student and I'm applying for Aberdeen University this year, I gotta say I am just soooo stressed out and worried as I don't know anyone in Scotland ^°^' Anyway, thank you a lot for this little uni tour, really!
Me to
Aww I'm glad you enjoyed the video! And honestly don't worry about the size of the campus, you get used to it very quickly if you do end up studying here
Salut ! Je suis également en Terminale, et je compte étudier à Aberdeen ce Septembre. Est-ce qu'il est possible qu'on se parle par email?
Everyone Explains Salut moi aussi j’ai été accepté à Aberdeen pour septembre en bsc computing science. Quel dégrée tu fais toi ?

Aberdeen looks beautiful I’ve never been to Scotland I live in East Anglia of England but I really want to travel up to Scotland and explore Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow etc! I wish I was going to university in Scotland but sadly not
Edit: it was really funny to see you hiding from the rain😂😂😂
N.oelaniii I’m from East Anglia and have just moved to Aberdeen to study!
Rachel Swann that amazing so lucky!!
Scotland certainly is a beautiful place to live, you'll need to come and see for yourself some time!
Its a real.country huh. Im glad that the Scottish hate the english
Waaw Aberdeen is the next place to be for studies!!
I’m applying right now for next September for English and Creative writing!
Good luck with your application!
I applied this year as well but for psychology, have you heard back yet?
@@emmaswanson6493 I applied for 2 courses, English/writing and forensic psychology, but I haven't heard back yet. I think they have until may to respond
@@e.mchristina5260 I hope you hear back soon. I got a conditional a couple weeks ago and I have booked my accommodation. Is Aberdeen your first choice?
@@emmaswanson6493 I have got unconditional within a week. Is there any scholarships too for international?
Rain in Aberdeen? That’s strange, it never happens 😅
Hahaha NEVER! tbf tho it rains soooo much less here than it does at home so when it does happen I don't really mind as much
HollieDollie yeah i came here from the south of Italy so I complain double as much as anyone else 🤣
A few questions.
1. Are most people from Aberdeen Scottish?
2.Winters, how depressing are they?
3. What is the city of Aberdeen like?
Cheers.
There are obviously a lot of Scottish students but I'd day Aberdeen is a pretty diverse/international university. They have connections with Qatar too and so a lot of students study at Aberdeen because of that.
In terms of winter, winter in Aberdeen is like winter in most other UK locations - dark, windy and cold! But thats just the UK I guess haha. Aberdeen is pretty go though as it is close to the hills for walking/skiing if that interests you as well as being right next to the beach (which is still great in winter).
I'd say, in general, Aberdeen was a great city to move to when living independently for the first time. It has everything that a city needs but is still relatively small and comfortable. After 4 years there, I was ready for a change but I don't really have a bad word to say about it!
I'm want to study in Aberdeen ❤
So do I 🤗
@@agyemannyamekye2227 Rick roll?
I just watched your video because I wanted to know what I'm in for (if uni's go back in sept) I didn't manage to make it to a tour because of the lockdown so this has been really nice to see where I will be going. I was wondering if you know what uni life is like for a mature student? I'm 23 and from the south of England, so I'm scared I might feel like an outcast.
I'm glad that my video was at least a little helpful for you! I wouldn't worry about going into uni as a mature student, so many people choose to do it that way and even so, a lot of people entering first year don't go straight from school anyway!
Ailsa Osborne defo not! I’m also applying as someone a bit older and from what I’ve heard it’s super friendly
Hey Alisa! Happy to hear there is someone else my age that is going to Aberdeen this upcoming semester, I am 22 and just got accepted :)
Ellinor Andersson no way, that’s relieving. What are you studying?
Wow it's beautiful!
Isn't it just! I love my uni campus
I hope I can get a full scholarship so I can enroll my postgraduate here in Sept 2021, aameen 🙏🙏🙏 thanks for the video 💓💓💓
Fingers crossed for you!
That grass superstition...
We have the same belief in Milan🇮🇹, Catholic University of the sacred heart😂
thank you!! one question, the students where are? It looks very silence, it is always like this?
If I remember correctly, I filmed this during a holiday so most of the students had left Aberdeen/had no classes at the time
I'm hoping to study law in the university of Aberdeen next year! Amen.
your campus is beauuuutiful my uni was built in the 1970s so it's not anything special haha
Yea we're lucking in that having an older uni, we have some amazing buildings!
Daisy Blake yeah we have a lot of really pretty buildings, but also Macroberts exists and it’s a total eyesore
No idea if you're still actively looking at the comment section after 4 year. But any idea how Aberdeen's computer science department is? Applied to their info tech MSc.
Thanks in advance
Do you have any advice for additional courses to add to MyCurriculm I’m just starting this year and studying economics and finance and was intrigued what the best options are
I did Mandarin, Business Management, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology and Philosophy throughout my first 2 years. I LOVED anthro/socio/psychology and the rest were all okay!
someday ... maybe next year i will be here :)
pleeease please tell me where your glasses are from. They are amazing!
They were just from Specsavers! But a good few years ago now, I'm afraid
in summer or spring, it is common rainning days?
In Scotland, it can rain at any time!
Hey I just wanna know that this university is good for MSc accounting and finance?
Same I too want to know about it
Hello,
I have a question, the teachers are from Scotland or they are from other countries?
Thank you for your video, I am considering going to that university for an academic exchange, but I am from Mexico and my English is not perfect so I am afraid of not understanding the accent.
Thanks!
There is a real mix, and that changes depending on the course that you do as well!
Is the cold here bad? Like, super dry? As in peeling skin, chapped lips, dandruff, chill in the bones kinda bad?
Would love to choose this one but that's the only thing stopping me. Have an unconditional from Surrey and Aberdeen- so confused!
Noooo I wouldn't say so. Aberdeen gets quite a bad reputation, weather-wise but I never found it too challenging at all! It's a few degrees colder than what I was used to in Glasgow but it rained far less and even when it was cold, there was normally a bit of sun peeking through the clouds. Aberdeen is also close to the Cairngorm mountains so when it is cold enough for snow, at least you have the possibility of going skiing and making an event of it haha!
@@HollieMcRae thanks for letting me know Hollie- that surely helped. Had a Scottish friend here in New Delhi(originally from Glasgow), he completed his masters from the University of Aberdeen back in 2016-he really scared the lights outta me- no sunlight after 3 pm in winters, no place to let loose, expensive rents, perpetual rain and all that stuff. To imagine this was the same guy who encouraged me to apply to the University in the first place😂. Love the Scottish sense of humour man!
Also, are there many things to do as a student?- i hope there are enough cinemas, theatres, clubs, sports parks and all of that in Aberdeen to keep one busy, otherwise with someone like me who has the attention span of a 3 month old child, it will be difficult to while away time😂
Maybe a little exaggeration, but you know what I mean, right?
If it's even 50 percent of Glasgow I am in!
Hey I have bunch of offers , and I am considering Aberdeen and Surrey too.
But I see myself leaning towards Aberdeen considering it’s best for the masters I chose.
If you joining this jan intake at Aberdeen, let me know
Also hi hasnain , it’s me hasnain
@@hasnainsheikh2480 Hey, what's your course, Mr. Namesake?:)
Mine's MSc in Marketing.
Also, for me it's kinda opposite-Surrey followed by Aberdeen. But not made the final call yet. Winter has never been my best friend so that kinda put me off Aberdeen if I am being honest here. But now I am reconsidering, especially after Hollie told me it's not all that bad:)
I got my offer in MSc planetary science Aberdeen today . Greetings from India. 🙃🙃
Congratulations!
Hii have you reached there or are going for September 2024 intake ?
You missed St Machar Bar!
Hey, I really enjoyed this video. It gave me some sort of image of aberdeen and I needed that. I got accepted for this year September and I am from Germany. I absolutely don't know if I should risk it and study in Aberdeen. It looks amazing and I kinda think it would be so cool, but what if it's not right for me? OMG, this was a lot of rambling. Point here, great video :)
Jana
Congrats! I personally loved my time studying in Aberdeen and I feel as though it was a great city to move to for the first time living away from home. It's a huge decision to make but I'm sure you'll find what's right for you. Thank you for your lovely comment!
Hi :) ich bin auch aus Deutschland und ich würde gerne in aberdeen studieren! Hast du dich dafür entschieden?
@@hot_damn99 Ja ich bin jetzt seit Ende September hier. Bis jetzt habe ich es nicht bereut. Man kann sich die Kurse auswählen und das mag ich sehr, aber wegen COVID ist so gut wie alles online :/
@@jananeimanns oh, cool! Ja, das mit Corona ist wahrscheinlich ziemlich blöd, Schottland hat da ja aich krassere Maßnahmen als Deutschland. Wie läuft das denn so genau mit der Wahl der Kurse, wenn ich fragen darf? Und was studierst du jetzt?
Where is the medical building? I have just received an off for medicine but never had the chance to visit the campu because of covid x
The medical school is on a different campus. It's called Foresterhill, next to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary
Please describe Aberdeen LLM. How's the reputation? Placements ?
I didn't study this course so I am not the best person to ask. I suggest that you read over the University's prospectus and perhaps look for other reviews online
@@HollieMcRae I haven't yet found any other review regarding LLM. See if you help, plz share any link.
What are the types of scholarship giving to communication students?
I am unsure, I can only speak about my own experiences and this isn't something that I have come across
do they have a master’s degree program for nursing!
As I have never been part of the medical school at the University of Aberdeen, I am not sure/able to answer this question. The best place to check will be the university website/prospectus
Is there ethnic diversities amount the students?
I would say so, yes! Aberdeen has a pretty diverse population for its size and there are a lot of international students that attend the uni. My course isn't a great example of this as there is definitely a white, female majority but I think that is just due to the course itself
Hey!! Is Aberdeen university gives scholarship for pharmacy
I am unsure as this is not something that I have ever had to deal with
You forgot the zoology building and the botanical gardens!
I wasn't able to get around everywhere but I do love the botanical gardens!
HollieDollie me too! I just finished studying at Aberdeen and it was my favourite place on campus (well except Starbucks) 🤣
Hey are you still studying here. I am studying masters in Artificial intelligence it's have been 2 months for me being here and I just know 4 basic building of campus that are around the library. 😂
I am not, no. I graduated in 2020!
beautiful university... do u gd jobs..
whats night life like there?
There are definitely mixed reviews of nightlife in Aberdeen but I absolutely loved it!
I can see/want to myself at Aberdeen University, watching these vlogs make me fall for it more, but for Biological Sciences I think East Anglia is more appropriate for me. I'm so confused rn!!
Ohh what a big decision for you to make! I'm sure you will have done what is best for you
Most of the buildings that are so beautiful on the outside are so horrible on the inside. While MacRoberts is not the prettiest to look at, it's definetly better to have lectures there than in the Old King's College.
True!
Why are you so cute? 😅
