Study Experience

 

There’s something about ancient masonry that’s conducive to thinking and learning – and we’ve got plenty of it. King’s College campus has all the beauty and tranquillity you’d expect from a place that’s been home to five centuries of continuous scholarship.

But there’s nothing medieval about the way we look after our students. Take internet access for example. We’ve got one of the largest wi-fi campuses in Europe, and that includes the student accommodation.

For the energetic, we’ve just opened the new, state-of the-art Aberdeen Sports Village, which we developed with Sportscotland and Aberdeen City Council. It has an indoor athletics hall, football pitch, games hall and studio spaces - so the games can go on even when northern nights close in.

We’ve begun work on our stunning new £57m library-of-the-future – the biggest cultural building project in Scotland of the new century. Due for completion in 2011, the glittering glass cube will change the way you think about libraries forever.

Around the campus we’re creating congenial new learning spaces to complement the lecture theatres and labs. Here you can meet with a study group, discuss a project with a friend, or simply sit and read on your own.

And to make sure you can easily get all the help you need while you’re studying, we’re rolling all the different services together into a single one-stop student support shop.

Then, of course, there’s the city life, the nearby beaches and spectacular Highland scenery. They’re all part of that same difference that has made the Aberdeen experience a highlight of so many people’s lives.
