Applying to Abertay

Accredited agents

Using our agents

The University of Abertay Dundee has a number of accredited agents throughout the world to allow you to connect with the University in your own country. Our agents are able to assist you if you need additional assistance in making your application to us. If you do not wish to use an agent, you may of course submit your application direct to the University.

Why should I use an agent?

Our agents have expert knowledge of the University of Abertay Dundee and can offer counselling, help, support and advice throughout the application process. These are some of the benefits of using one of our agents:
  1. Guidance on your choice of course. Agents are provided with full literature on the University, its range of courses and their predicted entry requirements. Our agents can help you choose the right course for you and your future aspirations
  2. Applications made through our agents are given priority. This means that you will receive a quicker decision from the University (usually you can expect a response to your application within ten working days)
  3. Free application processing. The University has a standard non-refundable administration charge for processing applications of £25. However, if you use one of our accredited agents you will not have to pay this standard fee. In addition, the agent will not charge you for this service
  4. Visa application support. Our agents can also help you in applying for a visa once you have received your offer

Choose the relevant country from our left-hand menu to find our list of accredited agents in that country.

Are there any charges for using our agents?

You should not be charged by the agent for advice on applying to the University of Abertay Dundee, or for processing your application form.

In some cases, you may be asked to pay a deposit directly to the University - your offer letter from the University will tell you whether you need to do this.

If you are in any doubt about what a charge is for you should ask your agent for clarification.

The University may ask you to pay:

A non-refundable deposit of 30% of your tuition fee prior to receiving your unconditional offer AND/OR a total of 50% of your tuition fee to be paid prior to your registration on the course.

The University provides the following, free of charge, for applications received through accredited agents:

  • the processing of your application to the University
  • the processing of your application for the University's Overseas Student Bursaries
  • overseas orientation activities on arrival, such as induction
  • free airport pick up during orientation week (this must be booked in advance and is subject to availability)
If you are in any doubt about what our charges are, you should contact us directly for information by using our Ask a Question page. Please see details of the tuition fees for overseas students.

What if there are no agents in my country?

All applicants are of course welcome to contact the Student Recruitment Office directly for advice regarding their application to the University of Abertay Dundee.
