The Aberdeen Branch looks to support the local subsea technology community by promoting and executing the aims of the SUT:

• Cross–fertilisation and dissemination of ideas, experience, and information between workers in industry, applied research and technology, academic research, and government.
• Development of techniques and tools to explore, study and enhance the benefits that the oceans provide.
• Proper economic and sociological usage of resources in and beneath the oceans.
• Further education of scientists and technologists to maintain high standards in marine science and technology.

The branch aims to maintain a programme of initiatives grouped under the headings:

• Events: knowledge sharing, collaborations, CPD, and social
• Education and Training: including the renowned Subsea Awareness Course
• Special Projects: including involvement in initiatives such as NASA in Aberdeen and the popular Christmas lectures for schools
• Industry Liaison: maintaining and developing relationships with other groups and societies to maximise benefit to industry
• SUT+: developing an excellent programme of initiatives engaging graduates and new entrants to industry
