Student studies are supported by state-of-the-art facilities at Garthdee including an excellent library, over 2,500 desktop computers and full network facilities incorporating a virtual learning environment, the Virtual Campus.

Small group seminars form an important part of teaching practice for Social Work and Social Science students.

They provide an opportunity for students to discuss key themes from lectures and their own reading.
