Dundee is a beautiful, thriving city located on the north bank of the mighty River Tay.

Its reputation as a culturally rich, welcoming and exciting part of Scotland is quickly spreading across the world.

The Wall Street Journal named Dundee as one of its top 10 places to visit, and lifestyle magazine, GQ, called it "Britain's coolest little city." The Sunday Times newspaper has hailed Dundee Scotland's best place to live.

The city is perfectly placed to enjoy the whole of Scotland and the rest of the UK. The capital, Edinburgh, is an hour to the south, and Glasgow is just over an hour away. London is five hours away by train. The world-famous Scottish Highlands are also just a short journey from the city.

The UK's videogames pedigree is immense, and is more valuable than the music and film industries combined. There are a number of games development clusters across the UK hosting global companies such as Activitsion/Blizzard, Epic, Electronic Arts and Ubisoft. Some of the best performing games on the planet have been developed in the UK and studios in Scotland are responsible for some of the most successful titles in the world. Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption are developed by Rockstar North in Edinburgh, mobile titles like Bloons and Angry Birds and the console version of Minecraft are developed here in Dundee.

Dundee is one of a series of a major games hubs across the UK and really punches above its weight in the industry. Packed to the brim with award—winning studios, the city's reputation as one of the UKs foremost games makers is going from strength to strength. Studying a games degree at Abertay University not only guarantees you a high quality education, but gives you the chance to immerse yourself in a city that really gets it when it comes to videogames development.

It's the first UK city with UNESCO City of Design status thanks to its varied contribution to video games, biomedical research and comics — Dundee is the birthplace of Lemmings, Grand Theft Auto, and one of the UK's most best known comic book publishers, DC Thomson. It is also home to the largest teaching hospital in Europe.
