Abertay Campus
The University is conveniently located on a city centre campus, with everything close to each other. Shops, cafes, restaurants, recreational facilities and the main bus and train stations are less than 10 minutes walk away.
The main buildings - Old College and the Kydd Building - are in the Bell Street complex, grouped around the University's award-winning Bernard King Library.
There's a great atmosphere around the Abertay campus. Students come and go to lectures, meet with staff and friends, study and attend tutorials and seminars - there's always a buzz about the place. Find out where Carla (a student here) likes to hang out on campus.
