A city that's thriving, a city that's buzzing

In May 2019 it was announced that Dundee's tourism sector had generated more than £180 million in the previous year, a figure that is set to grow as the regeneration continues to take shape. The opening of the Victoria & Albert Dundee has helped to boost the economy of the so-called City of Discovery.

As you might expect from such an impressive city, there are two extremely popular universities offering extensive courses and a memorable student journey. The University of Dundee is in the city's West End, and it hosts around 15,000 students every year. The smaller but equally impressive Abertay University is in the city centre and has a student body of around 4,000.
