University of Dundee

Discovery awaits

The University of Dundee aims to transform lives, working locally and globally through the creation, sharing and application of knowledge.

We are one of the UK’s top 20 universities (Guardian University Guide 2021) and we have some of the best levels of graduate employment in the UK – in fact, we are 1^st in Scotland for the proportion of graduates entering high skilled employment (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2020).

We build on our success by investing in excellent facilities, pushing the boundaries of research and equipping our staff and students with the means to create real-world impact. Dundee's collaborative approach to teaching and research is reflected in our close-knit community campus, making Dundee an excellent place to live as well as work and study. We currently have over 16,500 students, with 5,000 studying at postgraduate level, from over 145 countries.

Living in Dundee

Dundee is a multicultural city with a high student population. It is a cost-effective place to live, with the average cost of private rent in Dundee around 25% less than the Scottish national average (Citylets Rental Report Q3, 2020).

Set in beautiful countryside on the east coast of Scotland, it is a welcoming university city with plenty to see and do. Our compact city campus, market-leading accommodation and excellent support mean that our student experience is sector leading.

Dundee is also an inspiring place to be, combining a rich history with modern transformation; the exciting £1billion Waterfront Project, focused around the V&A Museum of Design, is changing the face of the city centre. In 2014, Dundee was named UK's first UNESCO City of Design.
