The University’s continued strong performance means it has been in the Top 15 of the league table for the past three years and in the Top 20 for five consecutive years. 

It also continues its outstanding performance on metrics relating to student satisfaction with teaching, ranking 9th in the UK. 

In addition to Medicine, Aberdeen ranks in the UK Top 10 across six subject areas:  

• 3rd – Anthropology and Archaeology 

• 4th – Accounting and Finance 

• 5th – Sociology and Social Policy 

• 7th – Languages and Linguistics 

• 8th – Business and Management 

• 8th – International Relations 

University of Aberdeen Senior Vice-Principal, Professor Karl Leydecker, said: “Having reached our highest ever position in the Guardian University Guide 2024, we are pleased to have held this ranking for a second consecutive year.

This result is a strong affirmation of the focus we put on students and delivering an outstanding experience for those who choose to study with us.”
