University of Aberdeen – Autumn Events

As schools are returning, I wanted to contact you with information about our activities in the upcoming weeks.

We are hosting our Virtual Open Day for all prospective students on Tuesday 25th August. Sessions will be held across the day, and students can register to attend at 11am-1pm, 2pm-4pm, or 5pm-7pm. There will be academics, student ambassadors, and staff from a range of support services on hand throughout the day to answer any questions, and a full range of virtual experiences available to students. Registrations are now open at the following link: www.abdn.ac.uk/openday

The University is following ongoing guidance from the Scottish and UK Governments, and therefore our Open Day on Saturday 3rd October will also be a virtual event and fully online. Full details will be available in early September, including times and registration information at www.abdn.ac.uk/openday.

We will also be attending various external virtual fairs throughout the autumn, including those hosted by UCAS and UK University Search. Once these dates and events are confirmed, full details will be added to our Virtual Events and Meetings page at the following link: www.abdn.ac.uk/study/virtual-events-meetings.php.

There is a wealth of information on our website for students and teachers alike. For students, there is a series of videos covering topics such as student finance, student life, and how to choose your course at: www.abdn.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/information-guides-1509.php

For teachers and careers advisors, we have a range of documents and information on our “Information for Teachers” webpage : www.abdn.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/information-for-teachers-1508.php. Additionally, we would be delighted to host a virtual talk anytime this autumn, or attend face-to-face careers fairs at your school, once Government guidance permits such events to be held. Please contact ukteam@abdn.ac.uk if you wish to discuss this further.

May I take this opportunity to wish you a safe return to school and best wishes for the new academic year.

Best wishes,
