Academic excellence, off the beaten track
Located on the northeast coast of Scotland, Aberdeen is the country’s third-largest city and home to a University that has been a center of excellence for five centuries. Founded as King’s College in 1495, Aberdeen has distinguished itself over its long history as a center of research, boasting five Nobel laureates among its distinguished faculty, with discoveries taking place in areas as varied as chemistry, agriculture, physics, and medicine.
This spirit of innovation continues today through Aberdeen’s strength in STEM and many other subjects.
