Scotland’s third-largest city after Glasgow and Edinburgh is a small cosmopolitan city on Scotland’s beautiful east coast. Affectionately called ‘The Granite City’ or ‘Silver City’ because of its stunning Victorian buildings, Aberdeen is one of Scotland’s premier destinations due to its great balance of historic beauty, culture in abundance with modern living, and superb amenities.
From castles that inspired Dracula and the famous Walt Disney princess castle ordained with signature grey architecture, Aberdeen is home to a beautiful, historic landscape.
From festivals and theatre to first-class literature events, museums, galleries and music halls, there’s plenty that demonstrate the rich culture of Aberdeen.
His Majesty’s Theatre is the largest in north-east Scotland and plays host to Aberdeen’s thriving theatre scene staging ballet, drama and opera performances throughout the year.
Once a year Aberdeen turns into a canvas for street artists from around the world. The Nuart festival brings a splash of colour to the ‘Silver City’, offering tours of all the graffiti murals that are hidden away.
The buildings in ‘The Granite City’ might mostly be made up of granite slabs from local quarries, but over a quarter of the city’s landscape is green. On a sunny day, students can swap their university library for one of Aberdeen’s diverse variety of parks and gardens ranging from the city centre Union Terrace Gardens to the spacious Duthie Park. The city’s parks and gardens have won several awards including the Britain in Bloom for a record 10 times.
With an offshore petroleum industry and strong roots in fishing, textiles, and shipbuilding industries, Aberdeen is home to an international population and a flourishing economy. Paymentsense recently named it as the best place in the UK to launch a start-up business.
But what, aside from rich history, stunning architecture and beautiful landscapes, can students look forward to during their stint in the ‘Silver City’? A lot!
When you have spare time away from your studies there are many options to socialise and have fun in Aberdeen.
Aberdeen has been well-received by students for its student friendliness, safety, and overall welcoming atmosphere. These are some of the reasons why it has frequently been ranked as one of the happiest and most liveable cities in the UK.
PricewaterhouseCoopers recently named it the best city to live in Scotland, and the second-best in the UK. It’s also ranked 64th in the QS Best Student Cities in the World ranking.
From four large shopping malls, unique independent stores and designer boutiques to a varied nightlife scene, ranging from trendy bars to quiet old pubs and to free art galleries and museums, there’s a lot to explore in Aberdeen.
Start your cultural exploration of Aberdeen’s intriguing history at King’s Museum, which houses 80,000 artefacts detailing the history of the Highlands.
Another historic highlight is the beautifully preserved Tolbooth Prison Museum, a former 17th century jail now converted into an interactive visitor centre of displays, models and exhibits.
You can also explore the incredible 400-year-old Craigievar Castle, located in the nearby Grampian Mountains.
Followers of contemporary art will be in their element at Gallery Heinzel and Peacock Visual Arts.
If you’ve exhausted all of Aberdeen’s museums and art galleries or are just looking to have some fun at night, you’ll be spoilt for choice. While it may not be New York or Paris, Aberdeen is also a city that never sleeps. The city’s Purple Flag status (one of only two places in Scotland that have been given the honour) is a clear indication that it offers an entertaining, diverse, safe and enjoyable night out.
Aberdeen’s nightlife spans every night of the week at popular clubs like Atik, Exodus, Drummonds, Tunnels, Underground and Unit 51. For those up for staying out into the wee hours at a discount, Illicit Still offers 40% off drinks on selected nights of the week, as well as 2 for 1 cocktail.
Dusk is the place to go for cocktail lovers, while Babylon, the longest serving nightclub in Aberdeen, is perfect for those who like to work up a sweat on the dancefloor. Vogue is a great place to visit for 90’s music, The Athenaeum offers a great mix of live music and DJs, while Cheerz is an LGBT club.
If clubbing is too much for you, the city is home to a plethora of student-friendly bars and pubs on Belmont Street that offer student discounts. If you prefer somewhere exclusive for students you can head over to the RGU Union or the popular student drinking den The Bobbin, whose sizeable discounts make it a winner for students.
