A real pleasure to celebrate with our Class of 2024 on Friday and a special welcome to our two new honorary graduates David Dorward and Marie Claire-Isaaman. A fantastic event and the very best of luck to all of our graduates for the future.
Fantastic to welcome so many colleagues from across Europe to Dundee for this important conference focused on widening access. Widening access is a top priority for Abertay, as it is for every Scottish institution, and this conference will help us build on our strong progress.

Very pleased to host a productive @uni_scot roundtable at @AbertayUni with colleagues from across Scottish universities and Minister for HE @GraemeDeyMSP. Good discussion on careers education, working with industry on curriculum design and making work-based education a priority.
Another fantastic achievement and the culmination of a great deal of hard work by colleagues. We're proud to offer an excellent student experience at Abertay and continuously work to update, enhance and improve our approach to make sure we are offering the best possible quality.
