We place teaching and student support at the heart of the University, and provide a network of Support Services to help you with all aspects of your life whilst you're at Abertay. In fact there are many good reasons to choose Abertay.

The University has some of the most innovative and well-designed buildings in the UK and our Library and Student Centre have set the standard for universities across the UK. The facilities available across our campus are excellent and we pride ourselves that we are ranked very highly in the UK for our investment in IT Facilities. But its not all work and no play Dundee has some outstanding student entertainment and sport plays an important part in University life, as our sporting achievements demonstrate.

Being a student at Abertay is a rewarding experience. Our halls of residence are of the highest quality and a place in University accommodation is given to all first year students who register by the deadline. New accommodation is planned for 2008 and has proximity to the campus, ensuite facilities and internet access as its main priority.

We welcome students coming from college. Many of our students join us through this route and go on to achieve great success in their studies and careers. You can expect to see many international students in the city too. Over 17% of our students are from countries outside of Europe including India, China, Malaysia, Thailand and Pakistan.

Dundee is an outstanding place to live and study and offers an affordable lifestyle. Not only are we in a beautiful part of the world but we are Scotland's sunniest city. We hope that you will join us at a University which, founded on a long history, is committed to providing an education for the future.

In a 20-foot vertical spin tunnel at the NASA Langley Research Center, aerospace technologist Steve Riddick tests free-flying models of fighter aircraft, transport vehicles and capsule vehicles to see how they perform under different conditions. “It’s one of the better places to give a tour because there’s a lot of visual stimulation with that tunnel,” Riddick said. “You get to actually see something going on, as opposed to some computer collecting data.” And that’s what STEM is all about. As the United States focuses more on these academic subjects, NASA is on a mission to engage students, educators and families in STEM fields, as well as to strengthen the future workforce of the organization and the nation. Almost half of NASA’s current workforce consists of baby boomers, and by the end of fiscal year 2010, more than 20 percent of the organization’s workers will be eligible to retire, according to a 2008 presentation by Toni Dawsey, assistant administrator for human capital manage

The University of Texas at El Paso has received a five-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for nearly $2.9 million. The “Science for a Sustainable Future: Developing the Next Generation of Diverse Scientists” award will provide fellowships to minority graduate students in NSF-supported disciplines such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The doctoral students will build their science and teaching portfolios and bring their leading research findings into K-12 learning settings in an effort to inspire the next generation of scientists. The fellows will serve as a STEM resource for El Paso’s Early College High School (ECHS) science teachers and as mentors for the students, helping them build practical understandings of science. “This success in securing federal funding from the National Science Foundation is a good example of the quality of competitive proposals UTEP faculty generate, integrating education and research benefiting our students an
