Analysts of The Princeton Review named the best gaming university in Europe. For the fifth time in a row, it became the University of Abertay (Abertay University), located in Scotland.
Abertay is known as the first educational institution in the world that began to produce game dev specialists: game designers, artists, composers, etc. Its students have been defending diplomas in various gaming fields since 1997, writes PCGames Insider.
Abertay itself received university status in 1994. Subsequently, it became the first recognized training center for game designers in the UK. Currently, Abertay is among the top ten places of study for the postgraduate gaming programs.
Year after year, we achieve the top of the ranking only thanks to our colleagues who are focused on the best result, and thanks to the university's ability to keep up with the ever-changing trends of the global game development.
Dean of the Academic School of Design and Computer Science of Abertay University
We should add that the university invests considerable sums in the study of the gaming industry in Scotland and the whole of the UK. The project “Innovations in Games and Media Industry” (InGame) headed by him costs almost $16 million.
