A strong economy equals a happy city

If you're looking to work in the city, you'll be impressed by what's available. The local economy is strong, stronger than most other areas of the UK. The unemployment rate is lower than average, and the thriving oil industry provides plenty of opportunities for jobs both in the industry and in sectors that support it. You'll find a number of employment agencies in the centre of the city.

The city offers plenty of extremely good schools for parents to take into consideration. The rightly celebrated Aberdeen Grammar School is more than 750 years old and can boast Lord Byron as a former pupil.

For older students breaking away from the family home for the first time, there are two internationally known universities. The University of Aberdeen is one of the oldest in the English-speaking world and Robert Gordon University is a highly respected seat of learning that's located in the suburb of Garthdee.

Together, these two establishments host somewhere in the region of 30,000 students in any given year, and this major influx of youngsters has a profound – and pleasing – effect on the city. Areas close to the universities offer a thriving social scene thanks to a proliferation of bars, clubs, restaurants, coffee shops and live entertainment venues.

Should you prefer something a little more historic, you'll be mightily impressed by the fabulous Victorian townhouses which have come to serve as an iconic symbol of the city. These beautiful buildings were created from local granite, and the mica deposits in the stone often shimmer in sunlight. This effect has led to the Granite City also being known as the Silver City.
