Abertay Campus
The University is conveniently located on a city centre campus, with all of its buildings within a quarter of a mile of each other. Shops, recreational facilities and the main bus and train stations are a short walk away.
The main buildings - Old College, Kydd Building, Student Centre and Hannah Maclure Centre - are in the Bell Street complex, grouped around the University's award-winning library.
There's always a busy atmosphere around the Abertay campus, as students come and go to lectures, meet with staff, study for exams, and attend tutorials and seminars.
Finding your Way Around
There are five levels within the main academic area of Abertay, consisting of four buildings: the Kydd building, the Baxter Building, the Graham Building and the Old College building. Level 5 is generally for Social Health Science students, level 4 generally for Computing (Kydd Building).
Here's how to find the Campus in the first place.

Leisure Facilities
Sport at Abertay is as much a part of university life as attending lecture and tutorials. We have over 20 sports clubs ranging from traditional sports such as rugby and football through to new exciting sports such as skydiving and ultimate Frisbee.
Most clubs compete in the Scottish universities sport leagues, while some also compete in local amateur leagues.
There's also a large gym on campus, making it ideal to use in between classes. For a minimal membership you have the use of 14 cardio vascular stations, 15 strength stations and as much training advice as you want.
For contact details for all the current sports clubs, contact the Sports Development Officer or the clubs directly.
The gym is on the ground floor of the Graham Building and can be accessed through Old College, round the corner from the Copyshop, or from the bottom right corner of the rear car park
