Country Specific Information
Bangladesh
We are the 'professional university' and prepare our graduates for the world of work. Our strong links with industry mean that many of our courses are designed by those working in industry, who actually inform course content by the skills they require from our graduates.
Our students also have the opportunity to balance their study with part-time work to help develop their interpersonal and professional skills.
Students from Bangladesh will find that Aberdeen already has a small, well established Bangladeshi community which welcomes our students and organises various social events throughout the year.
