Engineering

Your first class will be your School induction. This will help you prepare for the year ahead and provide you with useful advice on your course, as well as School contacts and information on getting the most out of your academic experience.

The Engineering PGT induction materials can be found in the Engineering Student Resource Centre for those who missed the in-person school induction.

Reading lists for individual Engineering courses will be available through MyAberdeen before the start of term.

In the meantime, you can brush up your study skills and learn more about the University at our award-winning Toolkit website.

Engineering courses will be assessed using a variety of assessment formats. Assessment will include coursework, reports on laboratory/computer practicals, design reports, online timed tests and invigilated formal exams.

The assessment structure will vary from course to course, and there will be specific details in every course handbook at the start of term.

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 induction in addition to your school induction.

The University of Aberdeen Orientation 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.

There will be a school welcome event for Postgraduate Research students. This will provide an opportunity to meet Postgraduate coordinators and PhD supervisors. There will also be time to answer any questions you may have. Further details regarding the welcome event will follow in due course.

As a PGR student you may have the opportunity to audit Master's courses to augment your research training. Please discuss this with your supervisor and check out the postgraduate taught pages above.

The PGR College also offers a comprehensive training programme to support your research journey.

The PGR College training and development programme offers academic, professional, and personal development through a number of training workshops, resources and opportunities, all intended to support the PGR community at the University of Aberdeen.
