What do our Law graduates say?

Our Law graduates will always be our strongest advocates, so check out what Erin Scott, Solicitor and Notary Public at Digby Brown Solicitors, had to say about her time at Abertay University.

I went to Abertay because the classes were very small and I liked the personal interaction you got with the lecturers. The support from the lecturers was truly second to none. Abertay also promised a practical aspect to the degree and highlighted the opportunity to go abroad, take part in international law week and do work experience in a law office – those promises were fulfilled.

Erin was part of our LLB (Hons) Law class of 2019.

Why Dundee?

Dundee is going through something of a cultural rebirth.

It was named by The Wall Street Journal as one of the world’s hottest destinations, helped greatly by the £80m V&A Dundee, the stunning design museum, which opened its doors in 2018.

Dundee is a little pot of gold at the end of the A92 - The Guardian

It’s an extremely friendly city, which is small enough to get from A to B by foot, but large enough to have great shopping and vibrant nightlife.

Dundee is a contemporary city full of energy and vision—it has one of the highest student population ratios in the UK—and it’s the perfect environment for law students to learn their trade.
