The Aberdeen Legacy Association was formed to help current Aberdeen students. We do this by reaching out to Aberdeen University Alumni and interviewing them; this is done in order to ask them some basic questions about their life while at university, how their journey gradually changed and career questions. A lot of students often have questions or concerns that go unanswered upon arriving to university. We hope to change that by bridging the gap between current students and Alumni.

We interview a variety of Aberdeen University alumni from a variety of backgrounds, anyone from lawyers to CEO's and many others. We intend to keep expanding our operations even further. We aim to produce content that every Aberdeen University student can benefit from. Some of the people that we have already interviewed hold important and exemplary positions in firms such as J.P. Morgan, Interbrand, Microsoft, BP and many more.
