    1/ The University of Aberdeen is to return a Benin bronze, the first-ever fully repatriated to Nigeria by a museum. The University announced it would return the sculpture more than 125 years after it was looted by British forces.

    Today our medical students will graduate 2 months early so they can volunteer to help the NHS with the coronavirus effort. We can't have a traditional ceremony but that doesn't mean we can't do something to mark the occasion... #wearetogether #ABDNFamily #covid19 🎓 👏 🎉

    So sad to hear of the passing of footballing legend Denis Law. A fantastic ambassador for his home city and its young people, the University was delighted to award him an honorary degree in 2005 and a special award for his Legacy Trust in 2020.
