why study at
dundee? what our students think…
In the most recent National Student Survey (2012), over 90% of our students in the following subjects were satisfied with the quality of their course: accounting, dentistry, economics, education, English, geography, history, law, mathematics, medicine, politics, psychology and social work.
“As soon as I walked onto the campus at Dundee, I knew instantly that this was the university I wanted to go to. The staff were so friendly, enthusiastic and helpful and the facilities were fantastic. These were some of the many factors that set my decision in stone. I knew studying at this university for the next four years would be the best decision I could ever make. So far I don’t regret a thing.”
Comment from Louise Myles, BSc Mathematics student.
transformation
We are an established university with a progressive and dynamic outlook. Never complacent, we constantly strive to build on our achievements: investing in excellent facilities, pushing the boundaries of research and developing new ways of using e-learning.
The University of Dundee is actively pursuing a strategy to excel in research and teaching and to develop a 21st century campus for our students and staff to live and work in.
The landscape of Dundee city centre has been transformed with our highly-praised £200m campus redevelopment. This has included the construction of brand new energy efficient teaching buildings with the most advanced teaching technologies, fantastic ensuite student accommodation with access to what the BBC called a ‘superfast’ fibre-optic broadband network, extension of the Institute of Sport and Exercise (ise) and Main Library, and culminating in the creation of the Campus Green, providing a beautiful space for students and staff to relax and enjoy campus life.
campus community
We enjoy an unrivalled position in the centre of Dundee, close to shops, theatre and transport links and with outstanding views over the River Tay.
The Virgin Guide to British Universities 2011 described Dundee as “a traditional, premier-league university, but unusually relaxed and friendly”, and the city itself has been described as the biggest village in Scotland because of the warm and friendly community spirit.
With 3,000 staff and nearly 18,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students coming to the University of Dundee from all over the UK, Europe and beyond, we have a truly welcoming and diverse campus community.
innovation
At Dundee we are always moving forward. Our academic staff make advanced use of e-learning methods to support and enhance their teaching. Most of our modules are supported online by our virtual learning environment called My Dundee, and many use techniques such as online discussions, e-assessment, video clips and podcasts to enhance student learning.
The University has again been named one of the world’s top 3 workplaces in an international poll of scientists, and Professor Sir Philip Cohen from our College of Life Sciences, has been named among the ‘100 most important people in British science’ by The Times. His work on protein phosphorylation – a process that controls how cells behave – has improved our understanding of cancer and other diseases.
