The cost of studying at University of Aberdeen varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £22800 annually, to study in University of Aberdeen.

Many of our graduates pursue research careers in a wide range of research laboratories, both in the UK and overseas. If you are interested in health and medicine, many positions for microbiologists exist in hospital research and diagnostic laboratories. Since engineered microorganisms are used throughout biotechnology, biotechnology companies, including the pharmaceutical, food and brewing industries, are extensive employers of Microbiology graduates. A science degree more generally can be used in administrative roles in the civil service, pharmaceutical, food, fermentation and related industries.
