Strategic Partnerships Abertay actively pursues international collaborations with partners such as NSBM Green University, Oxford International Digital Institute and the Glasgow School of Art, signaling opportunities to offer transnational degree programs, joint research and enterprise training services to diverse student cohorts.

Gaming Tech Leadership The university pioneered the Computer Games Technology degree and remains a UK leader in producing skilled graduates for the games industry. Its use of game technology to advance fields like cancer drug discovery and environmental science creates demand for advanced visualization, simulation and research tools that can be marketed to studios and industry partners.

Applied Research Demand Applied research groups in soil science, wastewater management and food science indicate strong collaboration potential for data analytics platforms, lab data management, sensor networks and research and development partnerships with industry. Government funding for health tech tool development shows appetite for software development, project management and consulting services in the health sector.

Transnational Education Abertay is expanding access through transnational education partnerships, creating demand for online program delivery, partner ecosystem tooling, accreditation support and student services outsourcing. Collaboration across institutions points to needs for learning management systems, content localization and cross border compliance solutions.

Growth and Recognition Strong recognition from industry and education bodies together with a growing employee base signals potential for university wide partner development, student recruitment collaborations and corporate training programs. There is also opportunity to offer grant management and research administration software to support funded projects and industry collaborations.
