Decision Approved, Aberdeen University, what does that mean?

Hi Everyone! I have applied to study the DPLP at the University of Aberdeen on the postgraduate portal the status of my application has changed to - “decision approved”. What does this mean? I haven’t received any email updates on any decisions, and the status changed to this two days ago when I logged in. Can anyone help me to understand what this means? Thank you in advance!

According to the Aberdeen University web site it means, "The Admissions Team has received a decision about the application from the Selector." (source)
Did you apply via an agent? If so, then according to the web page above, then "all decisions, including offers and rejection decisions will be sent by e-mail to the Agency Branch general e-mail address."

I actually, i cant remember, i appiled on my own but in the agent section i put the agent name who was helping me at that time. Is that a good sign or bad, am i gonna get offer letter soon?

Another reason agents can get in the way rather than assisting.

can i remove the agency by talking to the university and process the whole application by myself?

Yes, most unis will remove them as a contact if asked.

Now, its showing decision letter issued, should i be worried?

"Decision letter issued" simply means "The Selector's decision has been processed by the Admissions Team. An e-mail containing the decision will be sent to the Branch general e-mail address."
As @Admit-One says above, that status gives you no indication of what the decision actually is.

Branch general means "Agency"?

Hello everyone, i applied for September 2025 intake, now in the portal its been showing "Decision letter issued", can anyone share their experience?

What does that mean?

I didn't get any email from the university.

I've merged your new thread on the same topic into this one. It's not clear to me why you're ignoring what's been written in this thread.
As I explained above, "Decision letter issued" simply means "The Selector's decision has been processed by the Admissions Team. An e-mail containing the decision will be sent to the Branch general e-mail address."
Note that it says "will be" (future tense), not "has been" (past tense). So they may not have sent this email yet.
As explained above, that's almost certainly because you provided the details of an agent when you applied. As they say on their web site (see above link), "all decisions, including offers and rejection decisions will be sent by e-mail to the Agency Branch general e-mail address."
It could also be because they've yet to send the email (the status only changed this afternoon). Have you been in contact with the agent you named to see whether they are in receipt in the decision?

Sorry, I actually told the agency about this they told me that they are gonna contact me, since then they are not picking up my phone and i don't know what happened but i have to make a decision cause i also have offer from several other universities.

By what date do you need to make a decision regarding those other offers?
Have you tried contacting the University of Aberdeen to explain that you're struggling to make contact with your agent, and are under time pressure to respond to offers elsewhere. There may be a way that they can provide the decision directly to you.

I haven't spoken with the university authorities about this issue yet. Earlier this evening, my agency answered my call and informed me to wait until Monday. They mentioned that they had sent an email to the university and would provide me with a response on Monday, as Saturday and Sunday are off days in the UK.
