The support that’s available to students is brilliant. These past 4 years have been tough, especially with covid thrown in the middle, but I have never felt lost as the staff have always been right behind me, ready to catch me when I fall. However, after many of myself and many of my peers submitted complaints and the university did nothing. We have felt let down by the university.

The course is taught through blended learning. As the cohort is rather big, all lectures are taught online but workshops and tutorials are usually in person. There’s a placement every year in this course, which I believe is really beneficial. Compared to other universities, I’ve found that those who attend Dundee feel more prepared for stepping foot into our own classrooms because of the number of placements we have had throughout our 4 years here.

The university lectures are incredibly supportive and provide engaging lectures. Dundee has a great student vibe and offers great accommodation at an affordable price. Everything in Dundee is within walking distance. The uni offers a wide variety of amazing clubs and societies that are all really welcoming. The worst aspect of my uni experience was covid, for some courses, there were only pre-recorded lectures during this period so many students struggled to stay engaged and motivated.

The course is taught entirely in person, we have plenty of contact hours, however sometimes there are too many in week. The lecturers are always available for support and reply to your emails within 24 hours. The placements can be a bit overwhelming, there is a large workload for us to complete and this has been a point of many struggles. However, if you have a problem during placement you get a great deal of support from the uni and tutors are really kind when assessing your placement.

The accommodation was far too expensive for what it was, we had a wide range of issues with the maintenance of the flat, ranging from wasp nests to rats to plumbing issues. The location was great, we were right next to many local amenities. However, I do think that the accommodation might require updating.
