We’re excited to share that the University of Aberdeen is one of the proud sponsors of Tall Ships Aberdeen 2025 – a huge celebration that’s set to bring colour, energy, and a real sense of adventure to the city this summer.
With ships sailing in from around the world, this international event is about more than just beautiful boats (though there’ll be plenty of those!). It’s about young people working together, learning new skills, and connecting across cultures – all values that resonate deeply with us as a university. So, getting involved in this event just made perfect sense.

Tall Ships, Big Ideas
Just like the young crews setting sail, our students and researchers are always pushing boundaries and discovering new things – whether that’s in science labs, lecture theatres, or out in the field. Tall Ships celebrates teamwork, learning, and exploration – and that’s right up our street.
We’re really proud to support an event that reflects the kind of community spirit and global outlook we encourage here every day.
Need a Breather from the Buzz?
If you’re coming to Aberdeen for the Tall Ships and fancy stepping away from the crowds for a bit, our campus, set in stunning Old Aberdeen, is the perfect place to catch your breath.
Only a short walk from the Tall Ships Event, it’s full of green spaces, quiet corners, and stunning historic buildings. Take a wander through King’s College, pop into the Sir Duncan Rice Library (it’s more impressive than your average library!), or just relax with a coffee and soak up the peaceful atmosphere. It’s a great way to see another side of the city – and you might even fall a little bit in love with it.
Come Say Hello
We’ll be getting involved in the festivities and running a bunch of events across the city on the lead up and during the Tall Ships event – from hands-on activities to fascinating talks and exhibitions. You can check out everything we’ve got planned over on our Tall Ships events page.
There’s something for everyone – whether you're into science, culture, history or just looking for something fun to do with the family.
Tall Ships Aberdeen 2025 is going to be something special – and we can’t wait to be a part of it.
