Aberdeen 2040

Since 1495, the University of Aberdeen has been open to all and dedicated to the pursuit of truth in the service of others. We still have that purpose.

We achieve our purpose through excellence in our core activities of education and research, which transforms the world around us.

We welcome and support students, staff and partners from all backgrounds, organisations and communities.

We innovate in education and research by generating, sharing and applying new kinds of knowledge.

Working together, we will address five interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

We connect with others, and extend our networks and partnerships around the world.

We understand and nurture our environment, take care of our people and look after our resources.

Over the next 20 years, we will fulfil our 20 commitments to be a more inclusive, interdisciplinary, international and sustainable university.
