Abertay University (A30)

UCAS code: A30

Abertay is at the heart of Dundee, combining the advantages of a close-knit campus with the buzz of city centre life. All of our buildings are within a quarter of a mile of each other, as are shops, bars, clubs, cinemas and theatres. The campus itself is an eclectic mixture of everything from 16th-century castles to our outstanding award-winning library.

  Overall I have really enjoyed my course. The highlight was the clinical placement in semester 2 of third year. It was full time mon-fri 9-5. The only negative I had about this was that it was in third year, so it just felt weird after experiencing the workplace then having to go back to uni to study for another year. Overall feedback has been detailed in third+fourth year, and the teaching quality has also been good

  I was unable to get help from university, I believe this is the case as other problems I had with other issues I had to resolve on my own as the support team were incapable of helping me.
