Law / Legal Studies, Year 2

(5)·By Gabriela M·Law· Jul 2021
Was great. Lots of fun, had lots of cool shirt nights and themed nights. Went on lots of nights out and met heaps of amazing people about❤️Definitely recommend abertay and Dundee to everyone who's there!! I liked living in halls. It got a bit messy from time to time but those were the people who became your best friends. Easy life, and always someone there for you to spend time with or study or partyyyyy I always loved going to the library as a book is so much better then online reading. The lib was fab and very big. Classrooms are big enough for big lectures and seminars, met lots of great people. Had good debates. Societies are also great. Lots of fun on the dance team, practices every week!! I like how I enjoy what I'm doing, learning things like corporate law opened my eyes to what I want to do in the future. I like how they always encourage debate in classes too. There are many nice cafes out in dundee for during the day, such as the Bach which I love going to with my friends and absolutely love the nightlife. One of the best in scotland- would recommend the union x

Business Studies / Management, Year 2

(5)·By Alana C·Business· Jul 2021
There was so much to chose from, gave me a great insight into what I would be expecting since I had came from college. There were careers fairs, and also meeting some of the potential lecturers I would have. I don't stay in student accommodation There were tours or the library which was pretty big, there are areas to eat, a cafe, quiet floor and floors where you can socialise They always made sure that I felt comfortable and tried to explain things the best they could, some lecturers would go up and beyond and help you out over the weekend by emails The city life is really good, there are so many pubs and restaurants to choose from and the shopping is good too. The night life is good too and you are never to far away from a nice quiet place

I found Abertay really interesting - everything you need

(5)·By anna j·Aural / Oral Sciences· Oct 2018
My uni options were Abertay, Dundee and Stirling. Even though Abertay wasn't the best in the tables, I chose to go there and it is the best choice I made! I think the lecturers are brilliant and gave us some really interesting lectures. The lecturers usually get back to you the same day if you need help and there are loads of computers on campus and in the library. There's a good mix of people there, as there are a lot of international students, as well as people from here. This uni is brilliant if you want somewhere modern with good facilities, as they have a gym, a good cheap union and a range of really interesting courses. Student services are the best here from what I saw!

Sociology, Year 3

(5)·By Lizzie T·Sociology· Jul 2021
I don't really take part in freshers week but here lots of good things! I don't stay in accommodation but know friends who do and they often stay more than one year so must be amazing! I love the uni, it's modern and on the inside with lovely dated buildings elsewhere! The library is phenomenal. The lecturers are fascinating and encourage individual thought. The course is engaging too. Dundee is small and compact, everything you need is in one place. With the exception of a cinema in the city centre!

Amazing. There's always someone to help on campus, new campaigns running, work experiences available, student roles to pick and become more involved in the university life! The best decision of my life.

Law / Legal Studies, Year 3

(4.8)·By Rebecca S·Law· Jul 2021
Was amazing. The student union did many events and I was able to make lots of friends. The university was very accommodating and answered any questions asked. I stayed in meadowside halls in first year and I throughly enjoyed it. Made lots of friends and the facilities were very good. My other friends stayed in Parker house and they throughly enjoyed it as well and had good access to facilities. The library is great, I really like going there when I have a deadline so that I can concentrate on it without distractions. The student union at Dundee university is great and I always have a great time there, me and my friends enjoy going there for coffee. The lecturers were very interesting and made the lectures stimulating which made them enjoyable. The course is very varied meaning we were always learning something new and could explore different areas. The city life is really varied and there are many places to go. Me and my friends love going to the different nightclubs and the student union on a Tuesday. There are loads of good places and bars as well meaning we are never bored.

Pretty darn good!

(4.8)·By Lolly D·Other· Oct 2018
My course is wonderful! The course content is fantastic and spot on! hey are very good at communicating ideas and helping you whenever they can. They know all of us on first name basis and they are regular meetings and fun going on as well as learning! I think this improves our work hugely! Unfortunately I never live on campus or in halls but I have heard that they are not great, in particular the room, they are really small and not very clean, but this is only my personal opinion and you may love them! Dundee's brilliant for town shopping and for eating! The campus is situated right in the town centre almost so you can pop in between lectures and grab some food or do some light shopping! The campus isn't the most desirable, it's a concrete jungle infact, but that doesn't affect the uni :) The facilities are amazing at Abertay uni, Sony have gifted us 2 playstations which we use in the lab, The IT centre is constantly busy but the facilities are really good, top of the rang computers and loads of softwear to use. There are a vast amount of clubs from the linux society to the football team. Whether you be a geek or a sports freak there's lots out there! I'm a member of the film society. It has a lot to offer :P
