The mathematics lecturers at Abertay vary dramatically in their abilities and their passion for the job. One would clearly explain everything in a computer games programming context, whereas the other would hand-write the notes from the written book onto the white-board whilst we fell asleep in the classroom. The javascript teacher was sadly lacking in javascript skills, but thankfully we had a previous programmer in the class who helped everyone with their coursework. The facilities at the university are excellent and the course overall was good fun. Dundee, not a great city to live in though, if you like to have things to do!

They have a very famous Games Technology course. Beware, it's very Maths heavy and has an VERY high drop-out rate. I'm on a BSc Computing course and will be going into the more specific Games Development option in 3rd year.
