UK Universities :-:-: University of Abertay Dundee
The University of Abertay Dundee was founded in 1888 as the Dundee Technical Institute. It was opened with the words:
"... through the foundation of this institute. . . the ladder of learning has been raised aloft in Dundee."
And for over a 100 years the institution has worked with the
local community and
industry to make sure that we help our
students climb that ladder of learning so that they can make a significant contribution to the industries and commerce of the future.
In days gone by it was
employers in such industries as
heavy engineering and the jute spinning which benefited from our advanced
education. Today employers in the fields of
computer games and
software engineering, high technology manufacturing and the knowledge industries, as well as the new service industries of
health and
leisure, which seek out our
graduates to support their future development.
Not surprisingly therefore that the real education provided at the
University of Abertay has resulted in graduates who have gone on to lead major
British companies and be at the forefront of
innovation and
advancement.
