We just wanted to wish those of you awaiting exam results the best of luck - sure you’ve all done great! But, just in case you don’t get the results you hoped for, or are now thinking of applying to uni a year early, don’t worry! At Aberdeen we can still help you find a place on a range of our degree programmes for a September 07 start, and there’s even scholarships on offer for new students. Hurray!

During the week of the exam results, we will be manning a bespoke Clearing Information Centre on our campus, for those that would like to pop in and speak individually to one of our academic selectors, support staff or our current students.

You can also ring us on 01224 273504 to chat through your options, or visit www.abdn.ac.uk/clearing to see what vacancies are available and to find out more about what the University of Aberdeen has to offer you.

Good luck, and remember, there’s still room at the top!

I can hardly believe that the first month of the summer holidays has already past! I can’t complain too much though, the advantage of being a student is that there are still another two and bit months left.

I’m staying up in Aberdeen for the summer as it’s so easy to find a job here and I tend to spend slightly less money than if I were home, so I might actually have some left for term time! I’ve been working full time for 3 weeks now so I am just about used to the 9am starts. It’s been quite difficult getting into the routine of working full time again but as I only have one year left of being a student it’s probably a good idea that I’m getting some practice in now!

Aberdeen is fairly quiet at the moment as a lot of students have gone home for the summer. Fortunately a few of my friends have also decided to stay in Aberdeen so there is still some entertainment and when the weather’s been good we’ve managed a couple of nice evening walks along the beach.

I’ve also managed to get away for a couple of long weekends, one in Edinburgh at the end of term, and then last weekend in London to catch up with a few friends. Managed to get a very good deal on my flights to London; it was only about £80 return with BA, which considering I was very disorganised and only booked a week in advance is really good!
