We’re one of the UK’s top 25 universities (The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2020), as well as 2nd in Scotland for graduate prospects (Complete University Guide 2020).
Dundee is dynamic and multicultural, recently being described as “Britain’s coolest little city” (GQ Magazine).

Most of all, it’s Dundee’s unique atmosphere and character that really makes us stand out.
