its a good atmosphere within the uni specifically the sporting side is a close knit group.
the best aspects of my uni experience at Abertay are the lectures and the support they provide us with we can run by any questions we have and they will always reply ASAP. As it is a smaller campus you can form a relationship with the lectures making it a lot easier to interact and making lectures and class more enjoyable. Abertay also offers unique courses you don't find anywhere else, especially for video games and psychology you can pick a specific degree. The worst aspect of my uni experience was not having a student union where we could all go after hours to wind down after a stressful day and the nightlife and social aspects being pretty scarce. overall Abertay is a great place to study and I would recommend it to anyone.
Everyone is very friendly and always able to help. As well Abertay provides lots of resources for whenever you need help with work or mentally
You are not just a number, staff make a great effort to get to know every student
I think the lecturers are amazing they are helpful and welcoming. I like the online aspect especially for having a busy life and still being able to do the work. However I'm a bit disappointed we didn't have a union but other than that I've really enjoyed it here.
The amount of support in place for stundents as well as the amount of facilities that they have access
In terms of support and space for students, Abertay is great for providing a comfortable and safe space. As far as I'm aware however, we do not have a proper students union (compared to Dundee university for example) but in my opinion I don't feel it necessary given all the other amenities offered to students. As it is such a big university, providing bigger spaces to sit (asides from the library) would go a long way - I know we have Annie's however it is sometimes too crowded and makes it hard to have conversations or study if that's where we chose to study.
I think abertay is a great place to study. It is a small uni in comparison to other big city universities, which makes it lovely for gaining a lovely understanding between the lecturers and their students. The facilities are lovely and the student life in Dundee is very nice as well.
I think that the support of student it’s not much, maybe there is but it’s not something that’s easy to find. More communication and explanation in the classes will be better for understanding
Lecturers are always on hand should you ever need help, They are also very friendly and make you feel welcome. They are even more surprised when you actualy turn up....This makes them happy by he way. All staff are more than accomodating and will help with any problems you may have...you just need to ask. Depending on your age will depend on your involment into student life. The union is for everone and makes everyone welcome but this is mostly used by the younger students as the mature students are usually busy juggling family and course work. There are enough clubs shoud you find you are looking for another outlet for your energy and if there isnt you can always start your own. Although its University it has a relaxed atmospher and isnt a stuffy institution. Cant think of any imrovements that Id make.
Best aspect is the relationship and support between staff and students! Something to improve could be the social events within the student union however it’s still very enjoyable.

A very interesting course with many opportunities and helpful lecturers.
Perfect location with easy transport links. Has a great library for studying without distractions, with staff available to help with anything you may need assistance with. If unable to speak with someone, you can email the Student Enquiry Zone with any questions and they will point you in the right direction if they are unable to help.
Abertay is a small university which has a welcoming feel. They have very good facilities and offer lots of support for students which shows they care. Personally I do not go out drinking so student life is different for me however the student’s association has lots of exciting events all year round. I think abertay is an amazing uni that has some great lecturers. If there were improvements maybe expand the students association into a student union so they could hold more events frequently for students through the uni rather than having drinking events out at clubs or pubs not associated with the uni. This would help people meet other uni students and offer more security as they must attend the uni to go to these events.
Facilities for my course are great with just a few things that are frustrating like software issues and lack of sound and Bluetooth settings on pcs. Student life should be great based on the amount of events available however attendance is always very poor so they aren’t as enjoyable
Excellent lecturer engagement with students, good accessible facilities for those with disabilities and location is good. Parking can be an issue for some people, expensive for some days as you may be on campus for multiple hours.
Best tutor support and guidance
Very friendly peers, and great support for if you're struggling.

Abertay is good in the sense that if your studying a computer course / games course typically they provide a great education however other areas are pet down.
