Hi, this is the University of Aberdeen rep account. Thanks for your interest in studying with us! If you have any questions about studying History with us please let us know. I actually studied History at Aberdeen a couple of years so would be happy to answer any questions you might have!
We have a bit more information about the department on our website here: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/sdhp/index.php

Just for some more context for yourself, the UCAS deadline for application for 2024 is 31st January, though it would be best to submit a bit ahead of this deadline to give yourself plenty of time. Most of the time you will not receive decisions until after this deadline, and for our university we tend to say all offers will be sent out by some time in May at the latest. Hope this is helpful, and there's some more information available on the timeline for applications here: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/how-to-apply.php

Predicted AAA*
A in politics A in Media studies A* in history,

hoping to apply for University of St Andrews, University of Glasgow, Royal Holloway London, University of Edinburgh and not sure on a fifth choice, I'm not the smartest person so probably won't end up with an offer from uni of ed or uni of St Andrews but id be happy with Glasgow and Holloway! :smile: I only got 5's in my GCSES and have worked so hard to get these predicted grades so I'm happy either way! :smile:
:love:
