We’re delighted to have been placed so highly in this important ranking. Our continued success is down to the hard work and dedication shown by the excellent teaching team in our School and reflects the excellent student experience on offer and our investment in campus facilities. It’s hugely encouraging to see the video games sector continuing to expand, both here in Scotland and across the globe, and we are proud that so many of our talented graduates go on to work with well-respected companies or having the vision and confidence to take the teams they’ve formed at Abertay on to become start-ups.
