You’ve done the hard part.
You chose a course, completed your personal statement and applied. Now you’re holding an offer from Abertay, Scotland’s TOP Modern University*... and we’re delighted.
The content below walks you through what happens next, from now until September: accepting your offer, sorting funding, choosing accommodation and arriving ready for your first week. It can feel like a lot. We’ll break it into simple steps and help you stay on track.
Abertay is a compact university with a big focus on real-world learning. You won’t be a number here. Lecturers know students by name and support is easy to access.
You’ll study in a cosmopolitan and walkable city that’s typically more affordable than the UK’s larger student hubs. And our graduates go on to build award-winning games, work in cybersecurity, lead in business and public services, and much, much more.
We’re looking forward to meeting you.

My previous experiences with education weren’t great, and I struggled to commit when I was younger. But coming to Abertay, I found the support and environment I needed to succeed.Josh Raybould | Abertay University | Forensic Sciences Graduate
