What do our Computer Games Technology graduates say?

Our Computer Games Technology graduates will always be our strongest advocates, so check out what Andrew Greensmith, Technical Director at Red Kite Games had to say about his time at Abertay University.

Abertay stays strong in the field of games because of their high standards. Even now I take notice when I see a developer’s CV with Abertay mentioned on it. I always make a point to interview students who’ve studied at Abertay and, throughout the years, I’ve hired numerous graduates from the University.

Andrew was part of our BSc (Hons) Computer Games Technology class of 2002.

Why Dundee?

Dundee is going through something of a cultural rebirth.

It was named by The Wall Street Journal as one of the world’s hottest destinations, helped greatly by the £80m V&A Dundee, the stunning design museum, which opened its doors in 2018.
