Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of attending the 2011 graduation ceremony of the Al-Maktoum College of Higher Education, that took place in the Marryat Hall.
It was great to see the academic success of the graduates being recognised and the college, situated in Blackness Road, going from strength to strength. In the past year, the college has undergone a name change from Institute to College - recognition of its role as an independent and internationally-recognised research-led college of higher education.
Next year, the college celebrates its 10th anniversary here in Dundee. It has achieved much thus far and has a bright future ahead.
