Visits to Secondary Schools for HE Fairs or Presentations

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. If you would like to contact us about an event at your school, please email our UK recruitment team.

Visiting the University

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 chance to get a taste of what studying in 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 private campus visit. The timings and availability of these visits will be dependent on staff availability.

We are also very pleased to arrange for Secondary School pupils to visit to campus as part of an arranged class visit. This usually includes a short presentation about the University and a tour of the campus led by one of our Student Ambassadors. The tour can also include our halls of residence, sports facilities, library and many more of the resources the University has to offer.
