838 University of Dundee reviews

As a first year student, it is difficult for me to speak on this however, I have found that the career center has been very helpful, their website is very complete with job and internship offers. there is also a service that allows getting CVs reviewed, and for mock interviews to take place.

the academic support was mostly lacking regarding contact with lecturers and tutors. I had only online classes, and the chat was often disabled with jo possibility of asking questions or intervening in the lecture. Also, emails also often went unanswered, leaving confusion about lectures. Tutors marking my papers have failed to answer my emails about extra feedback and haven't helped when I've asked for advice. The relation between lecturers, tutors, and students was poorly built due to this lack of in-class contact, and it seems lecturers fail to realize how helpless students have really felt this year.

My university's library was greatly organized, with cheap access to printers, an easy seat booking system as well as an efficient book borrowing system that involved no contact. There was access to antiseptic wipes and gel on each floor with the possibility of disinfecting tables and computers before use.

The groups were very active, but hard to access due to the campus essentially being shut down. However, when we did hear from them it was very beneficial, for example with goodie bags with fidget toys to deal with stress as well as important mental health organizations' numbers.

Yes

University careers service is good, I would strongly encourage everyone to make use of it. Overall, however, I wish there was more push for students to attend/ arrange for internships/ graduate positions. Even as far forward as 1st year, insight days with companies are the way forward, but there was never any mention/intention of this from the uni or school that this is something we should attend/ know about. I wish i was told about these.

Lots of lecture slides with blanks, purpose is so you go to lectures and fill in to take away with you, but in hindsight its more detrimental, also cant engage with material prior. Material is sometimes vague and at times I've had to reject it and go scour the library to make my own. might be because I had close to half my uni experience online, but lecturers don't really like to engage with students/ make discussion, often its sit in silence for an hour or when they do its their paper and get really aggressive when your either diss it or don't take it correctly. They also continuously make references like "see you at the resist" (its cause they get paid extra for marking resits apparently)

Dont be fooled by the open day, the nice shiny Dalhousie is primarily used (for this course) in first and second. by 3rd and 4th year, your in the "Accountancy lecture theatre", it had no tables for our time in it and often gets very warm and sweaty. its an underfunded room and very uncomfortable/unpractical. Other lecture halls have essentially church pews that you sit on, they aren't comfortable and after a 1 hour lecture you want out. Libary is good but can get very busy, but simply get there early and your are fine, other than this facilities are good, just this course has poor allocation. Dont be fooled by the open day.

Advisors rarely make any effort with you, its only unless you contact them. This is understandable but many don't even introduce themselves to you or even ask how are things? Some are better than others, and will go through your CV, coursework before submitting and just generally have a chat with you. Others don't even make an effort. (Coursemates advisor didn't have any engagement till 4th year). There was a large amount of bias/ favouritism from lecturers towards students, giving them exclusive opportunities and extra feedback. But nothing I can imagine out of the ordinary, its a small business school, has the small town vibe to it.

No

I loved the library. Everyone in the university was very nice.

Everyone was always there for you. They always responded me quickly. There was always free stuff we could get in the common rooms.
