Abati University

I visited Abertay University in Dundee, Scotland.

It is known as a pioneering university that established the world's first "degree in computer games" in 1997.

Dundee is a city where numerous game development studios have been established, and it has made a significant contribution to the gaming industry through its educational institutions—centered around the university—which nurture talent.Today, it is gaining attention as a hub for the gaming industry and has even earned the title of “the UK’s gaming capital”!!! With international gaming events held there, the city has formed a hub that represents the UK through the trinity of culture, education, and industry.

I got some college merchandise, too—I'm so happy ^^
