Conventions and tasters
Taster Days
Taster Days give Senior Secondary pupils an insight into studying a
particular subject at the University of Abertay Dundee. A typical
Taster Day starts at 10.00am with an overview of the University and
then pupils and teachers get involved in a variety of hands-on
activities. A tour of the library and lunch is normally included with
pupils free to leave the University after 3.00pm.
Recent Taster Days have focused on Biology, Economics, Psychology,
Internet & Communication Technologies, Food Science, Nursing,
Social & Cultural Studies, and Business & Management. Past
students have found this an invaluable and fun day, working with
Abertay staff who have real-life experience in the crime field.
Who are Taster Sessions aimed at?
Taster Sessions are aimed
at potential applicants usually aged 16-18 with an interest in
post-school study in the specific subject area. Each Taster Session
lasts for two hours. To book a place please contact Louise Irving on
