We had very useful discussions on our work to support the health, wellbeing and economic growth of local community in Dundee and the opportunities and challenges for internationalisation as we expand our routes to an Abertay degree.

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.
Abertay University@AbertayUni

💼 What a great turnout for this year's European Access Network (EAN) conference! Spread across two days, the conference drew together hundreds of delegates to share their knowledge and best practices in widening access to higher education.

His vision to gain university status and to revise our programme portfolio at a time of huge technological change was a vital step for the institution and has had great benefit for Dundee and the Scottish HE sector. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and all who knew him.

Bernard had a profound impact on the University and his loss is felt by all in the Abertay community. While I didn’t have the privilege of working alongside him directly, it is very much upon his legacy that Abertay’s success was founded. 1/2

It is with great sadness that the University announces the death of former Principal and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Bernard King. The thoughts of the University community are with Professor King's family, friends and all who knew him. abertay.ac.uk/Nzg1

Research finds teenage boys trust answers provided by males over females ♂️♀️ A psychology study from Abertay’s School of Applied Sciences found that boys are more likely to copy an answer provided by a male than a female when they are presented with a difficult question 👇
