Destination Scotland

Find Scotland. Find Abertay.

Study in Scotland

Scotland's higher education system is world-leading, with top-class universities in every major city. That's why more than 83,000 students, from over 180 countries choose to study in Scotland year after year—and you can join them.

In a survey by the Scottish Government, 94% of international students said Scotland was a good place to be, and 86% of Scottish students would recommend it to others. And at least 21% of students in Scottish universities are from outside the country, so we really know how to make you feel welcome.

Study at Abertay

Abertay University is located in Dundee, a vibrant student city that celebrates diverse cultures. Only an hour away from Edinburgh and Glasgow, it's a great location for students and consistently appears in the UK's top 10 list for affordability.

Choose from our wide range of undergraduate, taught master's or research degrees, and begin your Abertay journey in September or January.
