University of Aberdeen Reviews 

Computing department has so many irresponsible and incompetent professors. Feedbacks for the assignments are vague and the professors are so incompetent that they can't even deliver lecture materials or assignment instructions properly. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere that promotes a proper learning environment and actually respects its students.

Disgusting behaviour by one of your satff. Then your denial to take action shows alot about you.

Wouldn't trust you to teach my child there, based on the type of people you employ. Shame on you.

Flying the flag for vile disgusting propaganda, courtesy of its very own staff. Avoid this uni at all costs

Another so called inclusive institution that is actually full of bile for those who have a moral compass, know biological facts and support free speech.. be very ashamed !!

The University of Aberdeen proudly promotes respect, dignity, integrity and the highest ethical standards. Those values sound impressive on paper, but they’re meaningless if they’re not upheld in practice.

When the reported public conduct of one of its own staff appears fundamentally at odds with those principles, the University’s commitment to its own values inevitably comes into question. Values are only credible when they’re applied consistently—not just when they’re convenient.

Avoid this university whilst it employs hate preachers like Scott ‘Heather’ Herbert a trans activist who celebrates on brutal killings of people.

They employee disgusting monsters and then don't sack them when the creature acts out. All universities support this abhorrent acts.

Rather disappointed that Aberdeen university employs a person in their learning facility that has actively supported hate speech with totally appalling comments relating to the horrific murder of Anne Widdicombe.
This is certainly not the behaviour you would expect from a university tutor.
I sincerely hope Aberdeen university will do everything in their power to ensure this type of hatred and behaviour is removed from this university.
I will also report this to police Scotland in reference to hate speech.

This review concerns the Online Access Course in English – SCQF Level 6 offered by the University of Aberdeen. This course is the only option available in Scotland to meet the English language requirement for postgraduate study—such as the PGDE—when one does not have the required Higher or A-level qualifications. A minimum of a Grade C is required for acceptance into programmes like the PGDE.

While it is helpful that such a pathway exists, the monopoly held by Aberdeen in offering this qualification appears to have led to serious quality issues.

At £500, the course is relatively expensive and not reimbursable by SAAS. That could be acceptable if the course met professional standards—but unfortunately, it does not.

The online learning platform is confusing and difficult to navigate, especially in comparison to the far more intuitive system used by the Open University. The materials—presentations, videos, and documents—appear to have been thrown together without structure or coherence, and do not reflect the standards expected of a top Scottish university.

The email support service is unhelpful and, at times, actively rude, which makes the experience unnecessarily stressful.

The timed exam at the end is another major issue. No clear guidance is provided about how long each section is expected to take, and I was only able to complete half of it within the time limit. I was eventually allowed a second attempt with more time due to my ADHD diagnosis, but only after paying a fee—a policy I found punitive and lacking in sensitivity to disability accommodations.

Even worse, if you fail the second attempt, you are not allowed a third try, nor are you entitled to a refund.

The essay component (which is untimed) was more reasonable. I submitted a well-researched, high-standard piece of work, yet received only a B+, accompanied by vague and unsubstantiated feedback that did not justify the mark given.

In conclusion, while this course technically fulfils a requirement, the quality, support, and value for money fall well short of what one would expect from the University of Aberdeen. I would strongly encourage the university to review and improve both the academic integrity and student support of this programme.
