Sort:Latest reviewsBAD! I made a mistake transferring to Abertay. It's an awful place. There is nothing good about it. I suspect they write their own reviews here. Reality is something else. Also don't expect a good reference from anyone there. I read the reference that a course instructor sent to my employer, it was petty and mean. The worst lecturer I met was a man from Dunfermline who hates anyone from outside the area, particularly the English or people from Glasgow/Edinburgh. He told me my work was technically excellent, but he just didn't like me. That was the level of unprofessional garbage that goes on in the place. I had never done anything wrong, or said anything out of place to the man.
Great support and education . My lecturers went out of the way to support me through my degree.
University experience has been very teaching and has helped me grow, but not because of the university in itself. It was the people and the friends I met along the way and the things I taught myself by reading books in the library about topics we barely even touched during lectures (which, as far as I've understood, is what the Scottish university model is inteded do). The things that people tried to teach me here have been either entirely new topics I had never faced before and I had trouble keeping up with because there just wasn't enough time for feedback, or have been things I already knew how to do in my own field. Moreover, by applying to SAAS I'm essentially getting a degree for free, which is not something to be ignored. If you want to go to this school it is possible to get a degree and a job, but you will have to work your ass off to get to the same level as professionals in the game industry, and albeit you'll find good people to hang around with here you won't be able to get your knowledge easily.
Been god but stuggle sometimes and help classes should becomeva thing as i struggle with certain modules in my psychlogy degree would be nice for these to be added
On my course we have Very good tutor support and good feedback from our work. Hardwork is rewarded and increased job prospects due to available opportunities.
It is a small university, but is sufficient, and it has nice accommodation, and the city life is good here too. The facilities are good :)
Abertay is a great university to study at. I would recommend it to anyone who is considering it. I am very happy with my choice to come here, no regrets, and we have really great student uspport service
The course is great 5/5. I would recommend it to anyone interesting in pursueing counselling. I can't comment on student life as I am only a part time student and only here once a week. The support from staff are fantastic whatever the issue may be. There is the occasional issue with IT but support staff are really good and helpful
The university is much smaller than others in the country making the experience much more personal :). ALso Dundee is a busy city with lots to do which is great if you come from a small town. Everyone is friendly and it is easy to fit in. My course is very interesting and help is always available if i am finding my coursework difficult.
I like spending time at the union although I think that more could be done there. More choice for snacks and healthier options please. The library is really useful and I enjoy the layout. However the gym could be improved as its small.
I really am enjoying my course here and we have a great city here. We have lots of clubs and societies , although I would like cheerleading society. I would recommend the university
A very good university the size makes it friendly and the lecturers are very good. Dundee is a good city to be in.
So Far Ive been enjoying my university course. It is trough going but it will be worth it in the end. The best advice I could give would be to work hard and then enjoy the benefits. Get all the work done on time etc. Reep the rewards and last of all enjoy being at Abertay!
Good university. based in the middle of Dundee. good course many sports societies which is appealing to me. Pick a good accommodation close to the university if possible. Opens up all possibilities for activities.
I am having a great time at university. I am in my 3rd year (out of 4), and this year students frmo all the different courses involved in computer development form groups and work with real companies in the industry! This gives us the rela-life industry experience and lets us connect with potential emploers, plus our groups often continue collaborating after university - last years teams are starting computer companies and running for BAFTAs. If you want to make games - then this is where you need to be!
I enjoy my course and it is interesting, I do think that tutors could spend more time with us though.The accommodation is fine and near to the city centre and the SU do great food! However im not very confident that this degree will get me a decent career in the future.
I really enjoy coming ti university and enjoy my student life. I would recommend this uni to people as I believe it is really good and you get support from the teachers. Clubs and societies need improvement as I feel I have not been able to get involved with any relating to my course.
I have enjoyed my time here in Dundee, there is lots to do during my spare time and the locals are lovely, they have a great 80s club here, which is where you will find me most weekends, I do my work during the week, of course ;)
The university is really nice and friendly. I feel at home here which is nice. I love my course, I am learning lots.

Uni tells you it has things and doesn't. Union doesn't exist. Uni cares more about advertising and supporting some courses rather than others.
in the centre, but there is no campus
Not many and uni doesn't support societies much
Way to expensive.
