OUR GREEN CREDENTIALS
Green Commitment Wherever possible, we communicate with our applicants via email and most of our marketing information is available online.
You will find recycling points in the courtyards of our residences, around the campus, and the City Council supplies most private accommodation with recycling bins. There are over 1,000 paper recycling bins across the campus.
Green Courses We have several research groups with expertise in environmental areas, including Water and Energy related issues. In recent years, we have developed cutting edge courses in:
• Advanced Sustainability of the Built Environment • Climate Change and Energy Law and Policy • Concrete Engineering and Environmental Management • Environmental Law • Environmental Sustainability • Renewable Energy • Renewable Energy and Environmental Modelling • Spatial Planning with Sustainable Urban Design • Sustainable Catchment Management
Green Savings
The University was the first in Scotland to have a Combined Heat and Power plant, in 1996. Due to its efficiency we are exempt from paying Climate Change Levy. In 2009 we joined the Carbon Trust’s Carbon Management Programme, which will enable us to calculate our carbon footprint and incorporate new carbon reduction measures.
Children at a local primary school have designed posters to encourage energy saving. These can found around the campus to remind us all to switch off and save energy whenever we can.
Fairtrade
In 2008, the University of Dundee was granted Fairtrade status by the Fairtrade Foundation. The University and the Students’ Association work hard to supply and stock Fairtrade-approved goods wherever possible. The City of Dundee was the first Scottish city to be named a Fairtrade City in 2004, to reflect the high number of retail and catering outlets supplying fairly traded goods.
