OFF CAMPUS STUDY.

Students study courses run by the University of Aberdeen, but do not normally study on site at the University. The off campus category includes students spending time away from Aberdeen on exchange, research, fieldwork or work placement, as well those studying by distance learning methods. We classify all Centre for Lifelong Students as off campus students.
