Dundee and Angus Regional STEM Partnership
Partners in the Dundee and Angus Regional STEM Partnership
Abertay is a small, modern university based in the centre of Dundee. We’re an ambitious, forward-thinking institution, offering degree programmes to prepare you for careers in the modern world.
We pride ourselves on our individual approach to every student. We know you by name, not by number. Our goal is to help you to thrive academically, professionally and personally.
With sustainability and environmental protection in mind, we educate and train the next generation of scientists, technologists and engineers and develop ability to work across fields through interdisciplinary learning and collaborative working. We encourage the development of STEM skills within all our graduates, and STEM literacy more generally within the regional community.
Angus Council manages the education provision in Angus. We currently have:
- 51 primary schools
- 8 secondary schools.
The Education and Lifelong Learning Directorate within the council works with families and other partners to make sure that all of our children and young people have the opportunity to achieve, while maximising inclusion and reducing inequalities.
Our care and learning offer support every child and young person to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes which will enable them to make their way in the world.
To support school and system change in Angus, a virtual school was established in April 2018.

A partnership between the public, private, academic and third-sector organisations. The purpose is to build the strength of the Life Sciences and Healthcare sectors in Dundee and the wider Tayside region internally through:
partnership working, networking, knowledge and skills development. While externally promoting and positioning the region to relevant audiences as fundamentally contributing to Scotland's world-class Life Sciences and Healthcare sectors.
Dundee is home to one of the most exciting life sciences clusters in the UK, with world-class companies, universities and research institutes all within a 3-mile radius.
Across Tayside there is a pressing need to make sure young people have the right skills and experience to enter fulfilling careers and grow our local economy. Here at Developing the Young Workforce Tay Cities we facilitate meaningful partnerships between business and education to provide work-based learning opportunities for young people and better prepare them for their future career. We bring together local schools, colleges and businesses to offer skills development and learning opportunities, to ensure that more young people enter a positive destination when they leave education and start their career journey.
Dundee and Angus College is at the heart of the communities of the Dundee and Angus region.
We provide opportunities for both economic and social growth, whether you have just left school or if you want to re-train or learn a new skill later in life. Our courses provide opportunities to gain qualifications across a wide range of areas and enable you to progress into your chosen career.
Dundee and Angus College is the right place to be for skills development, support and your future career.
We are a council with big ambitions because we want the best for all our citizens. We want Dundee to be the best place to grow up, study, work and live long and happy lives.
