I came to Dundee from Wales. I didn't know anyone and I had never lived in the city before. Dundee uni made me feel so welcome. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, the facilities are absolutely amazing, any questions, issues, queries there is always someone you can ask. The lecturers and all the other staff are amazing. And so is the accommodation. They really do look out for you here.

Studying at University of Dundee
The University of Dundee is well known for its contribution to Law in the UK and is the only university to allow students to qualify in both Scottish and English law. The university is ranked within the top 200 in the world, 1st for student experience in the UK and is in the top ten in the UK for both learning and teaching. Students that graduate from the University of Dundee have some of the highest earning potential for starting salaries across the UK, coming second only to Oxbridge.
Equally as well known as Law at the University of Dundee is the medical and dental school which was named as best in the UK by the Guardian in both 2008 and 2009 for the impact of the work and research carried out here.
All degrees have options for internships and modules that help to plan a career. Students come from over 85 countries to study at Dundee, similarly the opportunity is given in reverse for students from the UK who can make use of links with institutions overseas and benefit from taking part in an exchange programme in countries such as Australia, Hong Kong, and North America which in turn give students great life experience and a set of enviable skills gained from living, working or studying abroad.
The student experience is enhanced by the fact that the cost of living is well below the national average. Also contributing highly to the experience is Dundee University Students' Association. Located in the centre of campus, DUSA hosts many different events throughout the academic year including carpark raves, a pool competition and regular features such as SKINT every Tuesday, Sin City on Fridays and Distorted every other Friday. In a recent Which? guide DUSA came top out of all universities in the UK for its student nightlife, social scene and range of student offerings throughout the year. As well as venues and pubs there are several food outlets, a student shop, a Student Representative Council and hundreds of sports clubs and societies covering all sorts; Juggling, charity, music, film, big band and performance to name a few.
Over recent years the university has had millions invested into it's award-winning facilities. Everything students need is available on campus but the City of Dundee is close by and offers plenty to do including golf, sailing, galleries, a theatre. music halls, shopping centres, clubs and pubs.

University of Dundee
Amazing campus and friendly student atmosphere. Halls of residence are amazing! Buildings are truly great, both architecturally and all facilities that they hold!
Cons?
Halls of residence are quite expensive. Very busy library, not really big enough during exam time.
University is great. Library is amazing. WiFi could be improved. My only complaint is that the student halls are quite expensive and don't have enough storage room.
Great campus, great buildings and lecturers. lovely people and seniors within the sports clubs. Love my house mates, just fabulous.
I've ben a student at UoD for 2 years and it's without a doubt the best university in Scotland. The art school is world class, the research facilities are phenomenal and the student association does all it can to get students involved form creative takes on manifesto design to support for student DJs and promotional staff.
Great university with helpful staff in all areas. Doesn't matter if it is a uni problem or personal, they're always there to help or advice. A lot of opportunities in different areas - a lot of great societies and clubs.
Dundee university is a great place to study and socialise, when we break up for summer all we want to do is return. There is great facilities in all the buildings and the staff are friendly and helpful.
It has been life changing. The best experience I have had, and I'm only a fresher! Can't wait for the next 3 years, would do it no where but Dundee.
Excellent campus, dedicated staff and a good reputation
Absolutely amazing. From the moment you arrive as s fresher the experience is unbelievable and the union is fantastic!
I am just away to go into 2nd Year here and I absolutely love Dundee University, so proud to go here!
An excellent city that has a unique and dynamic student population that fits in well within the city. Excellent teaching and facilities also.
Everything is in one place which makes getting to and from lectures easy. Student's Union is the safest in Scotland and super cheap. No complaints whatsoever.
Dundee University has both captured and nourished my passion for learning as well as surpassing my expectations of the social life I could have while studying. Dundee as a city is perfect for students, and the university is one of the best in the country for life sciences (most of what I study). Lecturers have inspired me and the university campus, and the city, have stolen my heart. I wouldn't be surprised if I never left Dundee!
I love Dundee uni! It's a small enough place that you can get to know a lot of people very well and everyone is friendly and welcoming, however it's still a lot bigger than home and it allows to you to embrace city living. The halls of residence (Heathfield) are exceptional and I've really enjoyed the chance to build so many friendships with my flatmates and surrounding neighbours. My course is excellent and the lecturers are great.
Fantastic
Campus is close to the town centre which is big enough to have everything you'd need but small enough not to feel drowned!
Cons?
Tesco's is a 20 minute walk. That's it. And they're building a bridge so it'll be far closer.
There are literally zero downsides to Dundee.
active and diligent supervisors, good students' association, good sport's union, good librarians, good IT workers, and a well-equipped library, which houses audio-visual rooms, study carrels, display and reading rooms and stacks.
active and hard working staff. Everything is good generally. the dental school is good and there are many activities that I can do. people are nice and friendly.
If you're looking to come get drunk and/or be really social and not drunk you'll love UoD. Best nights out in the country if you're drunk.
Excellent university. Great campus and students unions etc
The uni is incredible and the union is second to none
The campus ranges from old buildings to new and modern which creates a nice and balanced mix.
Dundee university is definitely suited to all kinds of people. The union is fantastic but I wish they could play more gigs or live events etc during the year
Everything is organised and efficient, the union is a credit to the university and there is always help available.
lots of activities and opportunity's and everything is very close together.
Really really good
The University of Dundee gives students everything a student can ask for. It has plenty of opportunities for each student, with facilities for every students needs.
A great place to study and a great place to be. Dundee university is an ideal place for people interested in engineering, medicine, and art.
Campus is a lively place to be around. The union and library have nothing to fault and very welcoming to chat with friends and study.
Fantastic uni. So many societies and sports clubs to choose from. Union is No.1 in the UK!
So far a great experience with very accommodating staff
good union, great campus, library is a bit confusing, great wifi
Dundee offers a fantastic range of facilities and has free wifi available to students all over campus. The staff are also lovely and very helpful. I had a great experience.
Really good university! The courses I'm studying in architecture and it's really good with lectures
Excellent all round student experience. Practical city for students as all amenities are close by so there is little travel cost. Dundee is friendly, and the university is fantastic!
Excellent university, loved my time there and didn't want to leave!
I freaking love it!
I love dundee uni the students are all so friendly the staff so helpful, union the best night out
By far the best university in terms of student satisfaction. Couldn't complain
Best four years of my life! GREAT UNI IN A GREAT CITY!!
Amazing campus, great people, committed lecturers and everything is great overall.
Absolutely incomparable to the rest, obviously.
Dundee is a great city and the university is right in the heart of the city.
Awesome first year to start University life. Couldn't have asked for a better beginning.
Amazing campus Great uni Union is brilliant Wifi can be patchy
having a university campus within such a small city really connects all the students. it means you dont lose contact with other courses students.
Amazing is all I can say, brill atmosphere! Everybody talks to one another and there's never a lack of things to do.
Great university experience with fantastic facilities.
Dundee is a beautiful city with knowledgable and professional staff. I couldn't think of a better place to study than DJCAD
I love being at UoD. I love the inclusive and friendly atmosphere and the work people put in to make it a great place to study.
Best experience ever, don't regret it at all.
I attend Kirkcaldy campus (school of nursing and midwifery), not the main campus in Dundee. Campus/facilities: very very basic, the only thing you have is a tiny, overpriced canteen and 2 vending machines. Clubs and societies: non existent unless you count the student forum as a society. Students union: nothing, nothing at all. Career opportunities: outstanding, almost 100% employment rate as Kirkcaldy is primarily a nursing campus. Internet wifi: very surprising but we actually do have fast, reliable internet access.
loved my time at University of Dundee! The Union is amazing
Love the university. Never thought twice about studying anywhere else.
I think Dundee University is an innovative and ambitious university.
Great Uni
Great social life, accommodating staff, professionally-orientated teaching.
Cons?
Low admission bar.
