Very friendly and supportive. Less stores for international student. Better marketing

Overall not a bad university to attend however some subjects and tutors offer minimal help and don’t care about what they are teaching in my opinion which has an effect on grades due to lack of understanding further to this 9 grand a year to be told you can’t park at university and to struggle with unreliable public transport due to their policies is a joke overall if you get your head down you can get a degree however 70% of the time I’ve found modules to be of no use to real world and I have regretted coming to university due to feeling as though in certain aspects I haven’t learnt and developed as much as I should of due to teaching methods

If you are looking for a party university with a historic-looking castle with 0 value added to your life, this is the right one. You go party with the people over and over again. Far from London, takes ages to get there and no public transport back to Egham after 11:45 pm from Waterloo. They have got terrible security with attitude issue. The student union does not have a significant influence. Don't get scammed by the university, the only thing they brand is the top 25 unis but I doubt the ranking. The careers centre does not do much other than give you a confidence boost. Lots of my friends also have similar complaints. They have one of the highest percentages of international students. I bet they probably have this because they love international fees from international students. After you graduate, they will disregard you. If you would like to apply for a master's, you have to pay at least 10 quid just for them to send an email to different universities. Proof of study also requires money. This cost is after charging us almost 20k a year. I completed the degree with a 2:1 but my diploma never arrived. Repurchased it from the uni but they do not deliver. Claim that this is not their business and go contact the University of London Diploma production office, to which no one replies. Have been chasing it for more than a year now. Highly do not recommend it. This is my experience with the university. For some people, if all goes well, they love this place. After all, Stockholm syndrome and graduation goggles are quite common.

I really wish I didn't decide to study at Abertay. While the pandemic has certainly resulted in a steep decline in the quality of the courses, I already started to notice issues with the place before it took hold. There is little point in choosing to study game design when you get barely any instruciton from teachers and end up learning pretty much everything useful by yourself, which you can do without Abertay. Student support is terrible, and if you can manage to see someone, they usually tell you that they don't know how to help you. I was looking at studying abroad in my second year - I was met by apathy when talking to the pertinent department, and when I proposed trying to reach out to institutions in a specific country, I was told that I would have to do it all myself because they weren't able to help me facilitate it at all. Any complaints about lecturer conduct fell on deaf ears. The campus itself is servicable. There's a couple nice modern parts that are stuck on to the side of a very brutalist block. During the course of my degree, they've unfortunately done away with most of the on-campus cafés as well as a large, open, sillicon-valley-style working space for game design students. The library is small, but a good place to meet and study. I hear most students trying to do actual research went up to Dundee's library though. Abertay doesn't pay for any of the top academic paper websites, so getting access to studies and resources for my dissertation was something that, like most things at Abertay, I was left to tackle alone. Apart from the aforementioned changes to the facilities, they were okay. I always did most of my work outside of the university and rarely used the available hardware. About halfway though my course they changed the way that software was handled, and since then found it very difficult to get apps to load properly. Abertay's student union is nonexistent. There's a small students association which handles some university affairs, but getting actual help from them is based on if they like your politics or not. Most people go up to the union at Dundee university. Student life is okay in Dundee if you like drinking and nightclubs. Aside from that there's not very much to do in the city itself apart from the V&A. I found myself going back down to Edinburgh most weekends for this reason.

The university goes to good length to provide facilities and ensure a good learning environment. The location could be better.

great SU and amazing tutor support

The campus is amazing, it is completely new and very comfortable, just like student accommodation. The student support is very helpful and almost every time I asked I received good advice. The student's union offers a great number of societies, however, some of them are not really active.
