The Students' Association arranges a week of orientation activities in September known as Freshers' Week. This is an excellent opportunity for getting to know your campus, the city of Aberdeen and, of course, your fellow students. The importance of this week cannot be stressed enough and you are urged to arrive in Aberdeen in time to participate. Induction activities are planned to help international students settle into University life at Aberdeen. These activities should not be missed.
Postgraduate students are also welcome.
In January a shorter weekend orientation programme is organised for those students joining us in the second semester. Top Accommodation Finding somewhere to live is a top priority and if you have not already done so, you should write to the University Accommodation Office, William Guild Building, King s College, Old Aberdeen. All single international students are guaranteed at least one year s accommodation in a single-study bedroom in one of the Halls of Residence. The University has very limited accommodation for married students. University residences are mixed, but men and women are normally accommodated on separate floors.
