The University of Dundee is located on a campus within five minutes walk of the city centre, on the east coast of Scotland. An established university, it has a progressive and dynamic outlook, constantly striving to build on its achievements: investing in excellent facilities, pushing the boundaries of research (e.g. in cancer and diabetes), and developing new ways of e-learning.

For the second time in four years, the University of Dundee was shortlisted for the Times Higher University of the Year award in 2008. Civil Engineering, Dentistry, Education, English and Medicine have all ranked in the top 10 in the UK, and one of the leading art schools in the UK - Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, is located within the University.

92 per cent of the international students say Dundee is 'a good place to be' (International Student Barometer), and the University is in the top five European Universities for Excellence in Research in Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Genetics (Thomson Scientific Index).
