A Scottish University has become the first in the country to become an ‘Adobe Creative Campus’ after partnering with the company.
Abertay University is part of a small group of colleges and universities that will be helping students develop essential digital skills with the programme.
The new partnership with Adobe means its students can benefit from a wide range of software to enhance their digital and creative skills and give them another edge in the workplace.
Students will be able to access the resources at home and on campus and the benefit also extends to staff members.
They will be able to use popular tools such as Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and Illustrator. Both staff and students will also have access to millions of royalty-free images as part of it.
