Abertay University is a public university located in the city centre of Dundee, Scotland. Tracing its heritage back to the Dundee Technical Institute founded in 1888, the institution achieved full university status in 1994 under the University of Abertay Dundee (Scotland) Order of Council. Internationally acclaimed as a pioneer in digital technology and computing education, Abertay launched the world’s very first computer games degree in 1997 and the world’s first degree in ethical hacking. It is designated as the UK’s National Centre for Excellence in Computer Games Education and houses the £18 million cyberQuarter—a specialized cybersecurity research and industrial innovation hub developed under the Tay Cities Deal. Beyond digital technology, Abertay is distinguished for cutting-edge programs in food science and consumer research, business analytics and management, civil and environmental engineering, forensic sciences, and mental health nursing. The university features a compact, friendly city-centre campus anchored on Bell Street, steps away from Dundee’s train station, the historic Albert Square cultural district, and the iconic V&A Dundee design museum on the River Tay waterfront.
