Abertay University is an internationally recognised institution dating back to 1888, when it was founded to offer opportunities of higher education to working people in Dundee.

Today, Abertay is recognised for its distinctive achievements in teaching, learning and research that directly support the industries of today and the future. It is a state funded comprehensive university located in Dundee, Scotland’s fourth largest city. The University has a policy of ‘breaking barriers’ between disciplines and is therefore able to deliver expertise in a range of industry relevant subjects including the Business and Finance sectors.

Summer School in Scotland The summer school involves lectures presented by Abertay University staff and several exciting lecturer-led visits to field and industry locations, which will enhance both the academic and the cultural value of the summer school. The combination of classroom learning and external visits has been designed specifically to complement and enhance learning through personal observation, development of critical thinking skills, social and cultural awareness and to enable students to gain meaningful, hands-on experiences directly linked to course objectives and course assessment. The field visit locations have been hand-picked for this summer school to showcase Scotland as a global leader in business, and as a destination for further study.
