Hi, this is the University of Aberdeen rep account. Thank you for your interest in studying with us! In a general sense Undergraduate study will usually involve around 20 hours of classes a week (a mix of classroom 'tutorial' sessions of around 8-15 students with an academic and lectures with the whole course present) and roughly another 20 hours of personal studying. These classroom hours will lessen during 3rd and 4th year. You can timetable your classes to minimise how many days you are on campus, but we would say to expect to be on campus at least 3 days a week. It's up to yourself whether travelling is feasible, but please be aware that the university itself is located about 40 mins walk/a short bus journey away from the city centre where the train and bus station is if you are travelling from some distance away.

I hope this context is useful but if you're looking for any more information about class commitments or accommodation please let us know!
