How to Apply

Applying for September 2025, January 2026 and September 2026

Please only login to the current Applicant Portal to manage existing applications or to begin a new application for a programme starting before January 2027.

Applying for January 2027 onwards

For programmes starting January 2027 or later, the way you apply for postgraduate study is changing. We are launching a new Direct Applicant Portal. Please register your interest here and once it is available, we will let you know.

Applying for PGDE Teaching and BA Professional Development

The exception to this is applying for our PGDE Teaching Programmes which have a separate application process. All applications should be made through the main Undergraduate UCAS scheme and not through Teacher Training. This applies to all institutions in Scotland delivering the PGDE, not just Aberdeen.

Applications to the BA Professional Development should be made using a paper application form.
