It is important to note that examinations for the first semester take place in January. If you are registered as a student at Aberdeen for the first semester only or for the full academic year, you will be expected to return to Aberdeen after the vacation period in order to sit the January exams. You must be prepared for this and arrange your travel and budget accordingly. You must not expect special assessment arrangements to be made for you.

If you are coming to Aberdeen for the second semester only, please note that there is no gap between semester one and semester two. For this reason, University-managed accommodation for the second semester cannot be made available until Sunday 27 January 2013 and teaching begins on Monday 28 January 2013. It is therefore important that you see your Departmental Coordinator/Adviser of Studies as soon as possible after your arrival in order to complete the registration process and begin attending classes without any delay.
