universities: King's College, founded in 1495, and Marischal College in 
1593. For over 500 years, Aberdeen has been outstanding in scholarship. 
 It maintains its tradition with pride and supports a high level of 
teaching and learning underpinned by a first class portfolio of research 
programmes for more than 13,000 matriculated students. The University
