Massive congratulations to the Aberdeen University Athletics Club which has had an exceptional season, recently claiming a historic overall team title at the Scottish Student Sport Athletics Outdoor Championships, and following up with excellent performances at the British Universities and Colleges Sport Outdoors where the men’s 4x100 won gold and recorded the fastest ever time for a Scottish team at BUCS.

The team included five sports bursars, two former bursars and five more students who have all benefitted from the support of our generous alumni around the world who contribute to our Alumni Fund through regular giving and appeals. This collective generosity helps empower student athletes to pursue excellence both in their academic studies and on the sporting stage and ensures that the University can continue to provide a student experience that is amongst the best in the world. Thank you.
