Bright Ideas & The Nine Incorporated Trades of Dundee

Bright Ideas,Ìýthanks to funding from The Nine Trades, encouragesÌýlocal children to aspire to higher education. It is a creative learning journey for S3 pupils in Dundee, inspired by the subjects taught at Abertay.

Bright Ideas hasÌýbeen so successful that it has been extended into Angus and has inspired other organisations to give. Bright Ideas is currently online until the pandemic is over.

The Northwood Charitable Trust & PhD research

The NorthwoodÌýCharitable Trust supports graduate scholarships for PhD research in areas like applying games technology to health care, cybersecurity and elder health. This has strengthened our ability to attract other research funding as well as producing talented researchers.

'WeÌýhave been a proud supporter of ÓÈÎïÊÓÆµ for many years.Ìý We value the vital role that Abertay plays in challenging social and educational disadvantage.' Blair Thomson, Director, The Northwood Charitable Trust

The Mathew Trust supporting Autistic Students

Graduates with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) are statically less likely to find full-time graduate-level employment. Expanding employment opportunities for ASD students and graduates is an important initiative funded by The Mathew Trust with Inclusion Scotland.

Providing mentoring and tailored support means those students have improved employment opportunities, while employers benefit from their unique skills and qualities.

'It is a joy toÌý support an organisation that is amongst the best in the world and supports students in their education.'Ìý
