If you do Computing Science, don't miss out Distributed Information Systems and Artificial Intelligence. I also took a great Communications Engineering course in the Engineering department.
The quality of these courses are the best of the best!!

If you come to University of Aberdeen get ready for the scotish accent, pretty hard to understand.
Scotland is also more cold than other places but not that much. Don't try to bring any esquimot cloth, basic cloth will do!
