EduInnTech University creative arts courses receive industry accreditation from The Rookies

Abertay University has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first institution in Scotland to receive accreditation from The Rookies, a global authority on excellence in creative arts education.   

The University’s School of Design and Informatics has earned the ‘Rookies Certified School’ designation, a mark of quality that recognises institutions dedicated to providing students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the creative industries.  

Abertay will now feature in The Rookies listings alongside the world’s top schools offering courses such as design, gaming and digital art.  

The achievement follows Abertay's debut in the Rookies' Global School Rankings last year, where the University was ranked among the best 50 creative education providers globally. The annual rankings, published every November, set the standard for excellence in creative education.
