The University of Aberdeen is holding a parents’ evening in Glasgow on Monday, March 20th from 7:00 – 9:00 pm in the Trades Hall of Glasgow. This is an opportunity for parents of prospective students to ask questions, meet members of the staff, and to find out about the University of Aberdeen and student life in Aberdeen.
The host for the evening on Monday, March 20th will be Professor Tom Devine, Director of the Research Institute of Irish and Scottish Studies, and author of the best-selling book, The Scottish Nation.
Over 900 parents attended last year’s series of parents’ evenings, which will be held again this year in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Perth, Dundee, and Inverness as well as Glasgow. These evenings were very well received and have become an annual event. Hosted by senior academic staff, parents hear about accommodation, the admissions process , general welfare issues, and from students who share their own experiences at the University.
Director of Student Recruitment & Admissions Services, Lori Manders said: “Parents often want information that is different from what the average 17 or 18 year old may request. Research from the Institute of Employment Studies shows that parents are influential in the decision-making process. Many parents visit the University with their sons and daughters on Open Days and call for advice. We delighted to extend our service to those parents who perhaps were not able to visit us, through this series of events across Scotland.”
