Teachers provide only updated information, many of them actually work in that area, so that the knowledge is not only theoretical but practical. I have obtained skills that can be used in work, e.g. writing reports and policy briefs.

There are plenty of extracurricular activities related to environmental management. For example, I used to be an intern at Green Economy Research Centre helping to coordinate events dedicated to sustainability.

Students can join university societies according to their interests. There are about 150 that helps gain new skills and socialise. For instance, I was a member of Abergreen society helping to improve sustainability on campus.

Additionally, being abroad and experiencing several difficulties, I have always felt supported. I could easily contact the Student Support group that did their best to solve mental health issues and those related to studies or daily life.

In sum, I would recommend this university to anyone who wants to get a good quality education and have an amazing student life.

University of Aberdeen is a great place for a Bachelor’s degree. The curriculum is very well thought out. The lecturers seem passionate about their fields. They always explain their topics well and give examples of additional literature that could help us out further or perhaps spark our interest for something new. It’s easy to follow missed lectures with recordings. Most of the student accommodation, not only the one offered from the university, is really close by, so you don’t have to spend money on transport. There are many opportunities for practical work and labs on what you are studying, but you can also explore other subjects if you want to.
