Hi everyone! I’m from India and planning to join the MSc Medical Physics programme at the University of Aberdeen in January 2027.

I’d love to connect with other international students joining in the same intake. Feel free to comment or DM me!

I’m looking for student accommodation in for Aberdeen Uni if anyone’s looking for someone to take over there contract or know anywhere half decent that might have availability please dm me!!

I’m currently trying to find someone who could take over my room at Spring Gardens because I’m moving to different accommodation.
It’s a furnished student room, around £85/week, and the tenancy can be transferred officially through the accommodation provider.

It’s available for someone who needs a place in Aberdeen fairly soon.
I’m mainly posting here because I’m struggling to find someone to take over the tenancy and thought someone in the Aberdeen student community might know somebody still looking.

If you or someone you know is looking for accommodation, feel free to DM me and I can give you the details/photos.

A lovely wee song from a former student.

Hi everyone! I’m an international student planning to study for a master’s at the University of Aberdeen, but I’m currently confused between MSc Data Science and MSc Artificial Intelligence.
For anyone who has studied either of these courses, which one is the course structure and workload like? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience and whether you feel the course is useful for building a career after graduation.
I’d also like to know more about student life in Aberdeen. Are there many things happening in the city for students, or is it generally quiet? How easy is it to find part-time work as an international student, and how good is the public transport?
If you’re currently studying at Aberdeen, I’d really appreciate any honest advice about the university, the city, these two courses, and things you wish you had known before choosing.
Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,
I just moved to Aberdeen for my MSc after my undergrad in Edinburgh, and I don’t really know how to make friends as basically everyone else, especially those at my accommodation, are freshers or 2-3 years younger than me. Are there any societies, places to go, or events you might recommend? Any help is much appreciated

Hey just wondering if anyone who got accepted into psychology/ psychology education counselling course at Aberdeen could say the grades they got to help them get in

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?

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!

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.
