Evie Dalrymple

Prison Psychologist at Scottish Prison Service

“I had a very positive experience at Abertay. I really enjoyed the contribution from the lecturers. They managed to make us feel as though we were equal partners and never made me feel like I was ‘just’ a student. I felt motivated and inspired. Every time I needed guidance, I got it. The student community at Abertay is great too! “
