Best known for computer games, Abertay also offers world-class degree courses ranging from biomedical, forensic, sports and food sciences, to accounting, engineering and business management.

Abertay launched the world’s first computer games degree in 1997 and is ranked the number one university throughout Europe for computer games education (Princeton Review World Top 25 Games Universities). In fact, an Abertay student created Grand Theft Auto and the game originated in the city, a hub for Scotland’s booming games industry.

BSc First Class

Studying at Abertay was just brilliant. A small University with a big heart and a personal touch. The lecturers were very supportive, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The support I received especially during my dissertation and final year project was inspirational. I can highly recommend studying here.
