We are looking forward to welcoming you to campus to start your research journey with us. As a Postgraduate Research student you will have the opportunity to attend a University wide Orientation even in addition to your School's induction.

The University of Aberdeen Induction programme has been designed to take you through all of the essential information you will need for your student life. You can get started now by working through the interactive modules.

There are a series of modules that you can work through before you arrive. Once you have registered you can access the remaining modules and complete your mandatory training programme through your bespoke PGR training platform on our virtual learning environment.

Your School may also host a PGR-specific induction event. For details of any School-based induction activities, please check the New Student Pages for additional information or contact your School PGR Admin directly. Please also make sure you contact your Supervisor before arrival to arrange a suitable time to meet. 

Whether you are attending in person or online, we are excited to welcome you!

For in-person attendees, you can find directions and campus access information here. There is also an Accessible Campus Map available online.
