In 2009 I received a Masters degree in Software Engineering (Computer Games Technology) from the University of Abertay, in Dundee, Scotland. Among the other honors, it also meant I could wear a formal Scottish Kilt.
The degree was awarded with Distinction, which I’m told is fairly big deal. It is equivalent to the magna cum laude honor in US institutions. At this point I had already been employed as an Engineer at Proper Games for over a year.
