About us

Discover your future and open your mind to the exciting opportunities that await you at one of the UK’s most dynamic and vibrant universities. Located on the east coast of Scotland, the University of Dundee’s self-contained main campus, in the West End of Dundee, is your home away from home in a compact, friendly and diverse city. Dundee’s West End was named the best place to live in Scotland (The Sunday Times 2024).  

Let Us Welcome You

At the University of Dundee, there is so much to see and do. You'll find that you'll make lifelong friends, study hard, explore the city and campus, and have a great time while getting your degree.

What makes us different

Founded in 1881, with the objective to provide equal opportunity education, regardless of sex or religion, we were the first university in the UK to educate men and women side by side. Today, we are still a university with social purpose, building on our long-standing values. We are not afraid to act purposively to make a real difference in the world and work together as a community to deliver positive change. 

As one of the UK's top universities and named Scottish University of the Year (Daily Mail University Guide 2025), we are globally renowned for our expertise across a wide range of disciplines, including science, medicine, engineering, and the arts. We have pioneered innovations as diverse as keyhole surgery and flat screen technology.

The community that I've built up in Dundee has really been a saving grace for me. I've made friends here that I know I will have for life. And that's something really special to me.
