From its birth as The Dundee Technical Institute in 1888, University of Abertay Dundee (UAD) has received global acclaim for developing innovative and instructive courses in constantly evolving disciplines spanning technical fields such as software engineering and computer game design as well as business fields including accountancy and commerce.

Being among Scotland's top 3 institutions for research and funding, UAD has an entrenched reputation for professionalism in offering career-driven higher education. The United Kingdom's Quality Assurance Agency in its recent annual review gave it top ratings, with 79% of graduates giving 'thumbs up' for the university's teaching methodologies and learning approaches.

UAD is also a driving force in international commercial business: in 2002, it held 90 games design patents.

The university receives high commendation from graduates and alumni on its external quality assessors, and the strong support and ties established between faculty and students. UAD has ties with SEGi to run off-campus degree programmes developed by the Dundee Business School (DBS).

The institution offers Honours qualifications in accountancy and finance, business administration and marketing through supported distance learning.
