For a number of years, Aberdeen has been known as the “Oil Capital of Europe.” In recent years, however, the industry has experienced a steady decline, resulting in the loss of jobs and an increase in unemployment in the city. This is been beneficial for people who work outwith the sector, as the city has experienced a fall in property prices and a reduced cost of living. For employees of the oil industry, however, they have struggled to transfer their skills to alternative employment and have subsequently struggled to maintain their once-privileged lifestyles.

Aberdeen is a safe city, with lower than average crime rates. There are a number of highly sought after primary and secondary schools and key workers such as teachers and medical professionals, will never struggle to find employment.
The University of Aberdeen sits amidst the cobbled streets of Old Aberdeen, enjoying a 600-year history and enviable positions on both national and international league tables.
