- Beyond borders, welcoming staff and students from over 130 countries worldwide, to an age-old campus nestled between the ocean and the city in the friendly Northeast of Scotland.
- Beyond ordinary solutions, working together to spark lasting change in alignment with the UN Sustainability Development Goals. Our work towards a cleaner energy future and pioneering preventative healthcare solutions makes us one of the most sustainable universities in the world (top 3% in the QS World University Rankings 2025).
