The University of Dundee has an international reputation and continues to attract top-class researchers from across the world in subjects as diverse as medicine, life sciences, dentistry, law, microelectronics, fine art and design, digital media and space exploration.
• The University of Dundee was ranked in the World’s Top 225 Universities by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2012/13 and the QS World University Rankings 2012/13
• The results of the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in 2008 show that 54% of the University’s research is achieving ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ standards.
• In the RAE, the University is top in Scotland for civil engineering and biological and laboratory-based clinical sciences, all of which were among the top performers in the UK.
• The RAE results also underline Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design’s position as the pre-eminent art school in Scotland and places it as one of the best art schools in the UK.
• Our medical and life sciences research is world renowned, with particular expertise in cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and neglected tropical diseases.
• World leading researchers in our Space Technology Centre (part of the School of Computing) have developed the SpaceWire standard, used by space organisations across the world.
“The staff are extremely helpful to ensure that students are all well taken care of... We are taught by many research experts and sometimes the lessons can be very inspiring, providing new insights to the kind of research we can undertake after we graduate. Iconic attractions like the RSS Discovery Ship, and the majestic Sir James Black Centre housing the hub of life science activity, never fail to impress me that this is a place steeped in history and modern achievements.”
