I shall be updating my site regarding this site my experiences as a student at the University of Abertay, Dundee, upon graduation in Summer 2004.

Until such time I advise all parents and school leavers considering the course to do their own research into the qualifications and abilities of the staff at the university teaching this course, and to examine the university's rating in the UK.

You can try and find Abertay amongst these:

• http://www.studentinfor.bizland.com/ranking.chtml
• http://www.tcyonline.com/gre/uk-universities-ranking.htm
• http://ukeas.com.tw/rankings.htm

You can also read this article:

• Standards criticised at Scottish university (Abertay)

The universities own website:

• University of Abertay Homepage.

My own personal thoughts can be summed up as follows:

• Few people do more then one degree: make sure you do the right one first time.
• Universities are under a lot of financial pressure presently. Many are offering low grade courses with enticing titles to make up their numbers.
• Beware choosing an overly specialist degree. You may find it difficult to find work as a result.

Good luck!
