Abertay University, operating name for the University of Abertay Dundee since 2014, is one of two public universities in the city of Dundee, Scotland. The other is the University of Dundee. In 1872, Sir David Baxter, 1st Baronet of Kilmaron, left a bequest for the establishment of a mechanics' institute in Dundee and the Dundee Institute of Technology was formed in 1888. As early as 1902 it was recognised by the Scottish Education Department as an educational hub, and was one of the first to be designated a central institution, akin to an industrial university. Abertay gained University status in 1994.
Abertay launched the worlds first computer games degree in 1997 and in 2017 held a programme of events celebrating 20 Years of Games. Today the university has four academic schools Design and Informatics. Science, Engineering and Technology; Dundee Business School and Social and Health Sciences. Abertay was also the first to offer a degree in Ethical Hacking, starting in 2006.
According to the results of the Research Excellence Framework 2014 REF2014 published on 18 December 2014, Abertay was the highest ranked modern university in Scotland for research intensity. According to the Princeton Review 2015, Abertay ranked 12th place in the top 25 schools in the world to study video game design.
