All of our buildings are within a quarter of a mile of each other, as are shops, bars, clubs, cinemas and theatres, and were just a few minutes’ walk from the bus and train stations. All of Abertays programmes involve employer engagement in delivery and work-related learning opportunities at appropriate stages of study including work placements, simulated work-based learning. Further, our research informs our curriculum and we engender research-mindedness in our students. One of the four dimensions of our new Abertay Attributes is ‘Intellectual’, and we foster our students to: Abertay is a compact and focused University, with a reputation for working effectively across traditional research boundaries. We are committed to research that delivers real impact for society. From environmental research into sustainable businesses, using technology to improve cancer drug discovery and to secure our identities online, to understanding the psychology behind the witness testimony of crime victims, and using computer games as investigative tools, our researchers are solving complex real-world problems.
