A-Level Results Day

With A-Level Results Day here, many students will be weighing up their options – whether celebrating better-than-expected grades or rethinking plans after a setback. The University of Aberdeen is ready to support both scenarios with a unique fast-track process that gives applicants a decision in just 60 seconds by phone. Students who exceed their predictions can even “upgrade” their choice in under a minute, making it one of the quickest and most flexible Clearing experiences in the UK.

Set on Scotland’s stunning northeast coast, Aberdeen combines academic excellence with an exceptional student experience. Ranked 12th in the Guardian University Guide 2025 and 15th in The Times and Sunday Times University Guide, it offers flexible four-year degrees, guaranteed first-year accommodation, and even a year’s free housing for SIMD20 students. The city’s strong transport links, state-of-the-art facilities, and welcoming community help explain why Aberdeen ranks in the UK’s top 10 for student satisfaction.

Aston spoke to Megan McFarlane, associate director of UK recruitment, access &
admissions and Joe Whimster, associate director of global partnerships and recruitment both from University of Aberdeen.
