Location and Surrounding Area

If you like brains and beaches, minds and mountains, cognition and castles or social psychology and scenery, then Aberdeen is the place for you! 

The School of Psychology is situated in the Old Aberdeen Campus in Aberdeen City. Dating back to 1495, the Old Aberdeen campus combines immaculately preserved historic buildings with state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities. 

Aberdeen city and the surrounding countryside are excellent places to live, study, and work, and Aberdeenshire has one of the highest standards of living in the UK. Aberdeen sits between a beautiful coastline to the east, stunning mountains to the west, and is surrounded by historic and picturesque countryside to the north and south.  Aberdeen has all the amenities of a thriving city but is small enough to make travel to the university easy. There are several fantastic places to visit in the city itself as well as in surrounding Aberdeenshire.
