See What Students Say About University of Aberdeen

Victory Aiyeetan

Master of Public Health (MPH), University of Aberdeen

I enjoyed studying with students from diverse cultures as it gave me the opportunity to learn and understand their respective cultures in-depth. I also enjoyed the engaging conversations that we had during lectures and tutorials, it made me think outside the box and it contributed positively to my learning process. My advice for aspiring MPH students is to make the most use of the resources provided by the university and do not be afraid to ask questions, the lecturers are happy to help.
