Abertay Campus
The University is conveniently located on a city centre campus, with all of its buildings just a stone's throw from each other. Shops, recreational facilities and the main bus and train stations are a short walk away.
The main buildings - Old College and the Kydd Building - are in the Bell Street complex, grouped around the University's award-winning Bernard King Library.
