Offer Holder Events

Visiting the Abertay campus is the single best thing you can do before making your decision. You'll get a real sense of the place, meet the people who'll be teaching you, and leave with the answers to questions you didn't even know you had.

Offer Holder Days

Our Offer Holder Days are designed specifically for applicants who already have an offer from Abertay. It's not an Open Day. It goes deeper. You'll sit in on sessions related to your course(s), meet the academic staff who'll be teaching you, tour campus with a current student and get answers to the practical questions that matter at this stage: funding, accommodation, support, what September actually looks like.

GETTING TO ABERTAY

Book a campus visit

If you can't make the Offer Holder Day, or if you want a more personal experience, you can book an individual campus visit at a time that suits you.

What offer holders said about their visit

I was left with an exceptionally strong sense of why small really is perfectly formed. Support, community and a shared sense of success.

I'm an older student so I was very nervous to take such a big step. Being with the staff and them discussing how the programme is run really relaxed me and I thought to myself, yes I can do this.

It has solidified my choice to go to Abertay for my Computer Arts course this September.
