Brilliant news yesterday that @AbertayUni has been named the top International School for video games education by the Princeton Review 👏

Our courses are now ranked 8th in the world for undergraduate programmes and 7th at postgraduate level.

We had very useful discussions on our work to support the health, wellbeing and economic growth of local community in Dundee and the opportunities and challenges for internationalisation as we expand our routes to an Abertay degree.

Today we welcomed local MP @StephenGethins to our campus to tour our new Interpersonal Skills Lab and Virtual Production Research Environment.
