In the fourth year, students return from these placements for their honours level studies with the benefit of a breadth of experience that cannot be gained by study alone. We have led the way in higher education in the development of learning contracts for students on work placement. These define a worthwhile range of activities to be undertaken whilst working in organisations. We offer the first Accounting and Finance degree in Scotland providing an industrial placement opportunity. Due to considerable investments in information technology, students have good access to both PC and Apple Mac personal computers.
All students have their own email and Internet access in pursuit of their studies.
Aberdeen Business School currently teaches on two sites. It is also the base for the School's Industrial Placement Programme , which places and supports some 150 students in their paid third year. A map of the Hilton Site is available. Postgraduates are based at Kepplestone Mansion , the School's Postgraduate Management Centre. This houses the Business Research Unit , which undertakes a wide range of applied research, and the Offshore Management Centre , established within the School with the assistance of oil sector funding.
