Hello guys! I am conducting research for my dissertation concerning what Sustainable Development Goals will students in Scotland prioritise using a fun simulation game called Power Up!. You would be choosing to invest in different things such as energy, biodiversity or the community and watch your map change depending on your choices!

I am looking at 6 different degrees/courses in particular, each on having a unique code to input into the game so I can identify your degree:

- Environmental sciences (including ecology and geography) : BIOU923_1

- Business: BIOU923_2

- Biological studies (all courses): BIOU923_3

- Politics: BIOU923_4

- Psychology: BIOU923_5

- Economics ( including accounting and finance): BIOU923_6

Identity is anonymous and the game only takes 10 minutes. Simply download the game on your phone using one of the links (Apple Store or Google Play store) and input the correct code to play! NOTE that you would have to be a student in a Scottish University (either undergraduate, masters, phd etc.).

Hi, throwaway because its too much personal info

Right so, I got into uni of dundee undergrad starting this year and I would like to ask, when would be the best time to move to dundee, how is the accommodation right now?

I am 22m from Edinburgh, and here it's an absolute nightmare, i have been flatsharing with friends for 3 years but I doubt I would be right now lucky to find a new place in Edi if i needed to because of how dire the rental market is here.

How is it in dundee?

Because I am older, I didn't opt for student accomodation because i am afraid i'd be too old + im not chasing the university experience of clubbing and drinking every day of the week anymore, I have lived though that already, so i was afraid of not having the best ties with the 1st year flatmates, being the boring outsider.

And when do you think would it be easiest to move in? I'll be out of scotland from mid may til the end of june, so i am not sure if i'd be more lucky securing a room somewhere right now(about 2 weeks to do it though), after my trip, or in september.

What's your experience?

Sorry if this doesnt belong, thanks and see you in september!

I was recently offered a place in Dundee's undergraduate degree in philosophy. Im obviously excited, but one thing caught my eye. On this page (https://www.dundee.ac.uk/undergraduate/philosophy/teaching-and-assessment), there's a list of what appears to be the modules that Ill be taking. At the top of the list it specifically says "optional modules", making me think that this is a list of the modules that are optional and not those that are mandatory. However, I can't find a list of mandatory modules anywhere on the site. Does anyone know where I can look?

So I graduated in June 2021 and moved out of my Dundee flat at the end of May that year. Just last week I got a letter to say that I owe Dundee City Council £59 for council tax. This is because (in order to screw you out of money) the council contact the university to find out the end date of your course and then contact your landlord to find out the end date of your lease. Then, because the end date of my course was 2 weeks before I moved out of Dundee I’m now liable for 2 weeks worth of council tax. This is a system specifically designed to rip off student based on a technicality. For me it’s not the end of the world because it’s only £60 but for someone else staying for potentially weeks or month this could be a lot more serious. Please be aware of one of the many systems designed to rip off students.

I'm considering the M.Sc. Management programme at UoD for the January intake. I'm returning to uni after a varied work experience of 4 years, and to be honest, I'm a little nervous.

I wish to understand the ground reality of the Business department here, not the marketing fluff - What can I realistically expect? What are the classes and teaching like? What are the job prospects? Are there placements? What is the student environment like?

Plenty of questions, I know, but I hope somebody here can put my mind at ease

Hi all! I am a student from Singapore looking to come over to UoD for exchange (more specifically, in the college of life Science). I am a little confused about timetabling and UoD and would love some help :'). 1. What do Block C and D refer too?

2. Where can I find the module prerequisites? The website does not state them, and the most recent study plan I could find was that of AY16/17.

3. What is the main method of communication yall use? Do you use any forum platforms other than reddit? Was a little shocked to see just 195 of yall on reddit when there are over 25k in my school's reddit.

Thanks yall!

Hi, I am thinking about applying to the Developmental Psychology MSc
at Dundee University to start the course in September (1-year course).
I see that the fees for the course are £7950 for the year.
I have checked that I am eligible for both the full-time postgrad
tuition fee loan up to £5500 and the living cost loan, does this mean
that I would have to fund the remaining £2450 myself?
Can the remaining £2450 be paid with the living cost loan?

Hey guys!! I'm a student of the Dundee University and I've been in Dundee since January. Me and my friends are planning to watch a movie tonight but we don't have a tv... Can anyone help us out... As of where can we borrow a tv / projector for tonight? It'll be of much help! Thanks all.

I will be starting uni here in September but by the time I'm there I will be 22... Is that too old to live in halls or?

So I'm currently an international VFX artist and applied to dundee for their VFX program as it's one of the only real VFX masters programs I've really seen anywhere, I've worked in the industry for a year and taken a previous VFX Course at a different college so I thought it'd be a good way to learn some skills I might not know and broaden my horizons at another school. I applied back in January and was getting emails from the school about loads of things, events and letters, things they wanted submitted for my application etc, but now it's gone basically radio silent for just under two months. They'd asked for proof of payment and I'd sent it as of the second of February and at this rate it's been over month and a half since I've heard anything.

I've checked the website and contacted the admissions team and from what I can tell they are backed up with admissions due to covid, but it's stressing me out since i'll have a lot to do to get accommodations and visa set up if I am accepted. I don't want to put any stress on them as I know they've most likely got their hands full and don't want to be that guy asking every day "hey have you checked my application yet?" but at this point I'm just kinda worried. Does anyone know wether or not this is a normal wait time (I use normal lightly because it's covid times) or if there's something I should be doing other then just waiting?

So I've received offers from universitys to start in September but am not really sure how to go about deciding which to attend. I was offered an unconditional to do Environmental Sustainability and Geography at Dundee and am really leaning towards attending Dundee but don't know if it's worth it if it's all going to be online? (To put it into perspective I've also received an offer from Aberdeen to just do geography which is only about an hour and a half from where I live now and could possibly commute)

Really what I'm asking is, would going to Dundee be a wise decision/ is anyone else in the same boat where they aren't sure what to do covid-pending?
