Abertay University is to become the first ‘Adobe Creative Campus’ in Scotland – to enhance the digital and creative skills of students for the future workplace.
The Dundee university joins a select group of colleges and universities that have empowered students in all disciplines with essential digital skills to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
Students will be able to benefit from Adobe’s suite of online creativity tools including InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator. Staff and students alike will also get access to Adobe Stock’s extensive library of millions of royalty-free images.
Luke Millard, dean and professor of student development, said: “We’re excited to embark upon a new strategic partnership with Adobe, which will bring real tangible advantages to both our students and staff. With free access to Adobe Express Premium and the 20 industry-leading apps within the Creative Cloud, everyone will find tools tailored to their needs, empowering them to create exceptional work and gain a competitive edge in their projects and assessments.
“Abertay has a proud history as a digital-focused university, rooted in technology and innovation. We are fully committed to fostering the digital and creative skills vital for students’ success in the modern workplace. Through Adobe’s suite of creative tools, we aim to empower our students to think creatively and innovatively, enhancing their employability and preparing them for life after university.”
Mark Andrews, principal strategic development manager, Adobe Education said: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Abertay through the Adobe Creative Campus programme, supporting their mission to empower students and staff to thrive in a digital-first world.
“By providing access to cutting-edge generative AI and creativity platforms through Adobe Express, Abertay demonstrates a strong commitment to building essential digital fluency and confidence. This initiative ensures equitable access to vital skills and lays the foundation for innovative and enhanced pedagogies.”
