Great location with really nice facilities. The student support can really help the students.

Good facilities and is close to london.

Small and supportive department where you feel valued as an individual. Passionate and motivated academics Graduate school provides a vibrant collegiate environment for working. Good tech resources, support and training

I feel like better organisation in terms of timetabling and assignment due dates is needed as sometimes deadlines for many modules are due very last minute on the same day. Also, I would love to see more balls being organised by the student union for each divisions. However, I have overall positive feeling about abertay but some stuff as the ones discussed above will be good to be addressed and maybe sorted.

Abertay is great for getting a degree in games courses. The lecturers are, for the most part, engaging and invested in student success. Abertay leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to student support, though. The counselling service is largely unhelpful for students with complex issues, and the Student's association is often unable to help students because of the top-down decision making. Student engagement is low, and Abertay often fails to reach students who may find it harder to engage for any reason, which is especially frustrating in a university with such a high neurodivergent population in its most popular courses. Software that is necessary for my course in unavailable in the social parts of the library and regularly nonfunctional in collaborative spaces, with more limited software and hardware than individual working spaces. This is annoying, because a lot of the modules on the course require close teamwork, which seems to be a method of working that is punished by the placement of the more powerful machines. Student partnership is an area that the university also seems to immensely struggle with, individual lecturers seem to want to change this but are largely, apparently, unable to. Still, the recent upgrades to the library first floor are a step in the right direction - the uni needs to focus on creating more of these areas, social and otherwise, in order to enhance student success.

Amazing student culture and impressive investment in technology.

Being a smaller local university, classes are small and you get to know your fellow students and lecturers.

The uni lecturers take a casual approach to teaching and it makes it very enjoyable.

I love this university ngl. I am aware other courses seem to have problems, but pretty much every lecturer has supported me so well throughout my time here, and it's only gotten better with each year. I'm genuinely sad to be leaving because I feel like I just started getting properly into it, but I love my lecturers dearly. The facilities are pretty good. It is a small university, but I think that works in its favour and fosters a sense of community among students.

The best aspect of Abertay University for studying it has a well rounded a well balanced approach to facilitate the students studying life. One main point for me is how approachable and kind every individual are, from the faculty. Student advisory and Annie's. It is important to me that these individuals are not only dedicated, knowledgeable and professional but kind.
