University of Aberdeen will be hosting a Science, Engineering and Medicine Postgraduate Open Day

We are delighted to announce that the University of Aberdeen will be hosting a Science, Engineering and Medicine Postgraduate Open Day on Wednesday the 14th March at the King's College Conference Centre from 2.30pm-7pm .

The University is a leading research institution offering over 110 taught masters programmes and an extensive range of research opportunities. A postgraduate qualification helps you stand out from the crowd and can significantly boost your employability and earning potential. Research by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA ) indicates that graduates with a Masters qualification earn around 32% more as a starting salary than graduates with a first degree alone.

The event will give interested prospective students the opportunity to talk to academics and support staff about both research and taught postgraduate opportunities at the University of Aberdeen . The event will include talks on topics such as postgraduate funding, and, a question and answer session with University staff, students and alumni.

The following subject areas will be represented at the event:

* Medical Sciences
* Medicine
* Biological Sciences
* Life Sciences
* Health Sciences
* Psychology
* Engineering
* Geology & Petroleum Geology
* Geography & Environment
* Computing Science
* Chemistry

Tours of the Old Aberdeen campus will be available throughout the day, and a minibus will be on hand to take interested visitors to the Foresterhill campus to see the impressive medical research facilities on site.
