University of Aberdeen it is well established in Scotland with a tradition of hundreds of years. It is teaching from engineering, social sciences, sciences and medicine. It increased the number of overseas students since Brexit to manage to stay alive. Working conditions are decent and adopted the hybrid working system, although during the last two years they are not as flexible as years ago. Salaries are at the lower end, a research assistant having a PhD degree earning up to £36k a year. If you want to rapidly progress and earn money look for something else.

The University of Aberdeen was generally a very positive experience for me. My course was greatly interesting with a wide range of texts and a diverse set of authors who touched on very specific issues. My professors were always keen to help me and the advise that they gave has never failed to help me improve. My class mates were also fantastic and we always worked together to help ourselves with the course and guide each other through exam periods.

The MSc in GIS at the University of Aberdeen offers a solid foundation in geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and spatial modeling, with knowledgeable faculty, a well-structured curriculum, and strong practical experience, though greater industry collaboration and more access to real-world datasets would enhance the program further.
