support services


The University of Dundee offers a wide range of services to support our students. This can include academic, personal or financial support and guidance and is delivered by the following teams. Please see the individual websites for more information.


We also work closely with the Students’ Union (DUSA) to complement the support that they offer and we have a team of staff based in DUSA who are the first point of call if you have any queries or are just not sure who you need to speak to.

In addition, AATU can help you individually with personal tutorials on making and taking notes, academic reading, all aspects of academic writing including essay, report, projects, dissertations and theses, preparing for exams and resits, making presentations, time management and general academic development.

chaplaincy www.dundee.ac.uk/chaplaincy


The Chaplaincy Centre is situated right in the heart of the city campus and its facilities and resources are available to students of all faiths or none. You don’t have to be religious to visit the Chaplaincy; it is a relaxing and friendly place and hosts many social activities during semester-time.


In fact, during the course of a normal week over 2,000 people use the Chaplaincy ranging from mature students, religious groups, University choirs, discussion groups and debates to the occasional ceilidh.


Facilities include a chapel, a coffee bar, quiet room and meeting room. During Welcome Week and throughout the semester the Chaplaincy holds various events, so please come in and see what is on offer. We provide a multi cultural and supportive environment so whoever you are and wherever you come from you will always be welcome in the Chaplaincy.


counselling www.dundee.ac.uk/counselling


The Counselling Service offers students the opportunity to talk over a worry with someone in confidence.


And it isn’t just a place to come when you experience problems. The Counsellors can help students settle quickly into life at university, enjoy the challenge and fun of university life and be effective in their academic work.
