Although there is a membership fee for each sports club, Abertay Sport covers around 60% of the total cost for students who play sport.
Information on all our sport clubs and how to contact them can be found on the Abertay Sport webpage.
Every year Abertay Sport conduct a sports union survey to gain feedback from our members which allows us to improve and develop the service.
We want Abertay Sport to be an asset to the university and to the students who study here.
