Parents Invited to Hear About The University of Aberdeen
The University of Aberdeen is holding two parents’ evenings in Aberdeen on Monday, March 13th, and Tuesday, March 14th from 7:00 - 9:00 pm in Crombie Hall on the University campus. This is an opportunity for parents of prospective students to ask questions, meet members of the staff, find out about the University of Aberdeen and student life in Aberdeen.
Over 900 parents attended last year’s series of parents’ evenings, which will be held again this year in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Dundee, and Inverness as well as Aberdeen. These evenings were very well received and have become an annual event. Hosted by senior academic staff, parents hear about finance, accommodation, the admissions process, general welfare issues, and from students who share their experiences of the University.
Director of Student Recruitment & Admissions Services, Lori Manders said: “Parents often want information that is different from what the average 17 or 18 year old may request. Research from the Institute of Employment Studies shows that parents are influential in the decision-making process. Many parents visit the University with their sons and daughters on Open Days and call for advice. We delighted to extend our service to those parents who perhaps were not able to visit us, through this series of events across Scotland.”
The host for the evening on Monday, March 13th will be Professor Steve Logan, the Vice Principal and Dean of the Faculty of Medical and Medical Sciences. On Tuesday, March 14th, Dr Graeme Roberts, Vice Principal and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Divinity will be hosting the evening.
