Aberdeen
Aberdeen has been rated in recent years as Scotland’s safest University City, the happiest city to live, and one of Scotland’s sunniest cities. In the summer months it never gets dark, with the sun not setting until after 11 pm and rising before 4 am. Aberdeen is famous for being a global energy hub, with plenty to offer in the way of entertainment. Numerous art galleries, theatres, museums, and libraries are spread throughout the city. There are also a huge variety of restaurants and cafes to choose from, including Thai, Indian, Greek, and Turkish. Major supermarket and retail chains, as well as four large city-center shopping malls means students can access shopping places easily.

Academics
Most University of Aberdeen courses are available to students from their more than 600 degree programs. Medicine is the only discipline that is not open to exchange students. Most semester courses are 15 Scottish credits, which equates to 3.75 UMaine credit hours. The normal course load is therefore 60 credits per semester, or approximately 15 US credit hours. Students are required to enroll full-time in at least 12 UMaine credits.
