Heading out? There are loads of bars and clubs to choose from that are student favourites. You can also catch incredible orchestral performances alongside live comedy at the impressive Music Hall, and enjoy exciting live performances from local bands in The Lemon Tree. If jazz is more your vibe then impress your mates at The Blue Lamp.

If you're looking to do a spot of shopping, the Union Square Shopping Centre is the perfect spot for both high street and indie stores.

There's a 10-screen cinema too, so you’ll never miss the latest blockbuster.

Of course, St. Andrew's Cathedral and the Aberdeen Maritime Museum are absolute musts if you’re really going to explore Aberdeen.

Surrounded by such a rich maritime history, we can’t ignore the sea! Aberdeen has a very popular beach just outside the city which is within an easy walk, cycle or bus depending on where you’re living.

Nicknamed the Granite City, Aberdeen is split into districts, with top spots to eat, drink and enjoy!
