Overseas pre-arrival guide

Overseas Pre-Arrival Guide

Welcome to Abertay University!

This pre-departure guide is for all our international applicants and students needing information and assistance before arriving here at Abertay.

This gives you pretty much everything you need to know before you get to campus, including check lists, contact details and helpful links to support you every step of the way!

Of course, should you have further questions not covered here, please get in touch with our international team at International@abertay.ac.uk and we will do our best to give you the answers you need.

Once you arrive on campus, your one stop shop for all questions and concerns will be our Support Enquiry Zone, who are located on the ground floor of the library, and can be reached by emailing sez@abertay.ac.uk.
