Clearing

We all have a True North - the place we are meant to be in the future, where we can make the most difference. Sometimes it can seem like life steers you off course or takes you in unexpected directions, but don’t worry: we’re here to get you on the track that’s right for you. With our range of interdisciplinary degrees and flexible study options, it's not too late to find your True North, and apply to join us in September 2023, through Clearing.

At Aberdeen, we go:

  • Beyond disciplines with a flexible approach to study so you can tailor your degree to your interests and career goals. Working across disciplines with our world leading experts will allow you to push the limits in your chosen subject and embrace new perspectives.
  • Beyond borders welcoming both staff and students from across the world to a special city in north-east Scotland. Our diverse and international community will challenge you to think bigger and build your confidence.
  • Beyond boundaries so that you can go further. We’ve cleared the path for you to blaze the trails in your chosen subject and we’ll be here to give you the support you need to spark real, lasting change.

Join the Boundary Breakers to find your True North and go beyond what you thought possible.
