How to apply to Abertay
Undergraduate
UCAS
If you're considering applying to more than one university in the UK for undergraduate (UG) level studies, we recommend submitting your application through UCAS, the UK's University & Colleges Admissions Service. There is a helpful glossary to terms on their website to help make the application process as easy as possible.
Although the early decision deadline for UCAS applications is in January, we will accept applications after this date, either via UCAS or through direct application.
Direct Application
If Abertay is the only UK university that you'd like to apply to for your UG level studies, we recommend using our direct application form.
