Abertay University to showcase next generation of digital talent

The biggest Digital Graduate Show in the history of Abertay University opens to the public at 2pm on Friday.

Covering four floors of the main university Kydd Building, as well as the Hannah Maclure Centre art gallery on the top floor of the Student Centre, it features more degrees and students than ever before.

Members of the public, friends and family of students, and employers looking to recruit graduate talent are all being invited to see the latest computer games and digital art, learn about computer security and how to fight high-tech hacking, and hear experimental sound production.

Professor Simeon Keates, the new head of the school of computing and engineering systems, said, “The Digital Graduate Show starting on Friday afternoon will be a hugely exciting event, and I strongly urge everyone with a passion for art, computing, design, music or technology to come along.

“Our students will be showcasing fantastic work in applied computing, ethical hacking, web design and much more.

“We look forward to welcoming families and members of the public to our new computing laboratories to see inside the work at Abertay.”
