Students at Abertay University will have the opportunity to work with a top games developer as part of a new scholarship.

The university has signed a new agreement with Ninja Kiwi Europe based in Dundee.

For the first time, a one-year scholarship will be open to fourth year students studying game, beginning in the academic year 2018/19.

As well as a £1,500 payment to aid their studies, the successful applicant will receive an invaluable month-long summer placement at Ninja Kiwi Europe's Dundee studio, gaining work experience, industry insight and the chance to build key contacts.

The new partnership builds on a relationship with Ninja Kiwi Europe, whose executive vice presidents David Hamilton and Barry Petrie are two of Abertay's most successful graduates.

Mr Hamilton said: "We are delighted to be able to sponsor this scholarship and help support future talent coming through to the UK games industry.

"It is vitally important that graduates coming from university are able to hit the ground running and we are looking forward to welcoming the successful student when they join us here at Ninja Kiwi Europe."
