Training in Dundee
Dundee is Scotland’s fourth-largest city and the United Kingdom’s 51st most populated developed region. Today, Dundee is marketed as “One City, Many Discoveries” in recognition of the city’s scientific background and the RRS Discovery, Robert Falcon Scott’s Antarctic research vessel constructed in Dundee and presently berthed at Discovery Point. Since the 1980s, biomedical and technology companies have come, and the city now accounts for 10% of the UK’s digital entertainment industry, which includes mobile app development and gaming. The city of Dundee is home to two universities: the University of Dundee and Abertay University. Dundee was named the United Nations’ first UNESCO City of Design in 2014 for its contributions to industries such as medical research, comic books, and video games.
