The University of Aberdeen is a university in Aberdeen, Scotland. King's College and University of Aberdeen, the first university in Aberdeen, was founded in 1495 by William Elphinstone, Bishop of Aberdeen. In April 1593 a second university in Aberdeen, Marischal College, was founded by George Keith, the fifth Earl Marischal. The two colleges were merged in 1860 in accordance with the 1858 Universities (Scotland) Act, which also created a new medical school at Marischal. The University is Scotland's third oldest and the UK's fifth oldest University.
