UK Recruitment, Access, and Outreach Team
The Team are responsible for the recruitment of students from across the UK and the Republic of Ireland, primarily at undergraduate level. We attend Higher Education fairs, school careers fairs and provide talks to prospective students.
We also organise key university events, including three annual Open Days, Offer Holder Days, Applicant Events and other events to support those interested in studying at the University of Aberdeen, as well as teachers/career advisers who are supporting them.
We work closely with Undergraduate Admissions to provide advice and guidance to students and staff regarding applications, grades, subject choices and personal statements.
We can all be reached by emailing ukteam@abdn.ac.uk or alternatively chat to us on Unibuddy below.
How the UK Recruitment and Access Team support students and teachers
- Campus Visits for Schools

We are very happy to arrange for Secondary School pupils to visit to campus as part of an arranged class visit. This usually includes a presentation about the University, applying through UCAS and a tour of the campus led by our Student Ambassadors.
- Presentations for Schools and Colleges

The team would be happy to present on a range of topics for senior pupils and college students. Examples of presentation topics we can deliver include:
- The University of Aberdeen
- Thinking about Higher Education
- Student Life (Presented by a Student Ambassador*)
- Personal Statements
- Study in Scotland
- Accommodation
- Student Finance
Our team are always happy to discuss the requirements for your school or college and to adapt presentations to suit your needs. If you would like to discuss a visit please email ukteam@abdn.ac.uk and one of our team will be in touch.
- Visiting Secondary Schools
-
Helping to prepare young people for university and their future careers is of high importance to us. As such, the University of Aberdeen is delighted to receive invitations to university preparation events including career evenings, university fairs and careers displays.
We receive a high number of invitations to school events each year and we endeavour to attend as many of these as possible.
- Open Days
-
Our Open Day is one of the biggest events in the University calendar and is one of the best occasions for prospective students to visit the University. During this day, the University showcases all it has to offer and gives prospective students a taste of what studying at Aberdeen will really be like.
In addition to our Open Day, prospective students and their parents are welcome to visit the University by arranging a campus visit. The timings and availability of these visits will be dependent on staff availability.
