After Graduation

What does communication look like as an Abertay Alumni?

Staying in touch
With you	When registering to graduate in absentia, there will have been the option to opt-in to hearing from the University after you leave. If you chose to stay in touch, for the most part, we’ll contact you using your personal email address (the one you registered to graduate with). Over time, keep us up to date with where your adventure is taking you. If your email or postal address change, you can let us know by completing our online form.
With Abertay	As a graduate, you have a one-stop-shop email address to direct all your queries to: alumni@abertay.ac.uk
With your Alumni Network	Twitter - @abertayalumni Follow the Abertay Alumni Twitter account to hear about some of the great things your fellow graduates are getting up to on a day to day basis. Don’t be shy, tag us so we can share your stories too. LinkedIn - Abertay University If you’d like to tap into the wider Network at any time, you can do this by following Abertay University’s LinkedIn page and searching through the ‘Alumni’ tab. To be searchable in this way yourself, you’ll need to list Abertay University as a ‘school’ within your profile. It’s the perfect platform to build professional networks and support your career.

Communitay - next edition released in February

Communitay is our e-newsletter keeping Abertay’s community of Alumni, Supporters and Friends in the know of what's happening on and off campus. It's delivered straight to your inbox every 2 months and will keep you updated on events, volunteering and fundraising opportunities, as well as funding available and competitions eligible for our graduates to enter.

What support is available to me as a new graduate?

This can be anything from expert advice on tweaking your CV to identifying career opportunities using our job board on Abertay Connect.
