the perfect city for student life... student-friendly city
retail heaven
Dundee is home to two distinct Universities – the University of Dundee and the University of Abertay – and together they attract around 20,000 students to the city, giving Dundee more students per head of population than any other Scottish city.
Both universities are located in campuses that are in the heart of the city, lending a real buzz to the city centre, with many student- friendly facilities.
The University of Dundee is the larger of the two universities and attracts students from all over the world. Our city campus forms the heart of the west end of Dundee’s city centre and everything is within easy reach – residences are on site, and the main shopping area, train station and other facilities are all within five minutes walk.
Dundee has an inspiring mix of shops of all sizes, making for a fantastic shopping experience in a vibrant city centre, five minutes walk from the University’s city campus.
The stylish Overgate Shopping Centre hosts all the familiar high street brands and a selection of quirky trading stalls. The High Street, Murraygate and Wellgate Centre add to the ‘mainstream’ shopping. For unique gifts, art and jewellery, a tantalising range of boutiques and galleries are located on Nethergate, Perth Road and Westport.
music scene
The Students’ Union has plenty to offer any night of the week but should you choose to venture deeper into the city’s nightlife you’ll find a wide variety of options.
The live music scene in Dundee is alive and kicking – the city has spawned home-grown Indie rock bands like The View and The Law, and Snow Patrol was originally formed by University of Dundee students. There is also a good selection of club nights to suit any musical taste from house to metal. The Caird Hall hosts a steady programme of classical and contemporary concerts, while the Jazz Festival, Guitar Festival and the Blues Bonanza – Europe’s biggest free music festival – are highlights on the events calendar.
