CBI member Abertay University has entered a 10-year strategic partnership with the major China-based entertainment and education company Perfect World with a view to sharing international expertise in the video games sector.
The partnership will see the University - number one in Europe for computer games courses - deliver a new e-MProf (Executive Professional Masters in Games Development) in Beijing, while also exploring a range of future academic, research and business collaborations.
First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon was on hand to witness the signing as part of a Scotland Is Now event from Scottish Enterprise and Scottish Development International in Beijing today (April 9), scheduled during her current trade mission to China.
Expected to start early next year, the e-MProf aims to train 100 Chinese students every year, equipping them with the skills to succeed in the US$116bn global game development market.
