University of Dundee Reviews

Dundee uni has been great. Due to covid it’s been mostly online but the Dalhousie building is nice and the lecturers are fab

A great place to study and grow as a person. Lots of activities and events to keep you busy, and excellent support from staff. Many opportunities to develop skills provided by the University itself. Excellent choice overall!

I was only here for a one year postgraduate course but everyone was very welcoming and I had a great time.

University of Dundee is a great University to study at. It has a great student union and a great range of help for students, such as free counselling, carters advice and essay help.

Overall, I am pleased with the services rendered and opportunities provided. Though it may not be as grand as oxford/cambridge. It still had its own charm to it.

Good few problems llllllllllllllll

UOD is a great university in all aspects

the only thing I would complain about is the staff- uncoordinated and do not communicate with each other, some have too much pride and speak down to students asking questions, others dismissed my medicated mental health as a reason to become a remote student (which I have now, and I am much happier- averaging 70% across the semester, which just goes to show…)

Student oriented University. Faculty is good and approachable. Library is excellent.

Good university, good facilities, students union gone down hill quite drastically recently tho

My four years at Dundee were frankly dreadful, for my education at least. The uni is plagued by too many people in higher offices not doing anything to improve individual students - or even the university’s - position or wellbeing. In fact the uni has been so badly mismanaged it is facing bankruptcy unless it sheds countless jobs and a large number of courses. My course was a victim of both previous students not leaving good feedback about individual modules and the disciplines overall lack of ability to keep pace with changes in industry, a massive issue when it is Computing which is rapidly evolving (though some staff do make a good effort to keep their modules up to date). The student union (DUSA) may have won awards for best student experience, but this is solely for the nightlife it had provided pre-Covid. It saw itself exclusively as a nightclub and offered little to no support for students. Now it has stopped club nights, it still shows no interest in supporting students.

University in great location and offers great services. Staff always willing to help and the campus is definitely one of the best.

Fantastic internet throughout campus and accomadation, excellent libary facilities

Calm cuz i like the peice and wuite but ngl have met some questionable people

The university has mishandled their approach to teaching and exams during the pandemic.

Despite a long hard year of online study and no face to face classes, the university did let the main library stay open later for those with no access to needed resources. However, the DJCAD was closed most of the year making it difficult for students to use the DJCAD library and the art shop with no supplies in order to complete work.

Uni has been amazing, it’s so easy to make friends in the environment with all the events on.

Great university to study Biology, good teaching and facilities are nice. Most of the campus is within walking distance. I made some amazing friends and the student union offers lots of events.

very good university, good lecturers and staff.

No problems. Although because of COVID I wasn’t able to experience everything my university has to offer.

The staff are great and extremely friendly, you’ll love going here

Dundee is a great place to live and study even with covid restrictions !

The staff are always really helpful and quick to respond. Ian the property manager is easy to contact and has been a great help with any issues I've faced. The location is what made me choose Peterson Hall and I'll miss the convenience of it. Great place to stay with friends.

Good university with many things to do

High fee, bad experience, do not care about students. Bad racism report. Office filled with white people making decisions for others

I really enjoyed studying at the University of Dundee!

The university is all-round really good.

The best university for student experince

Not really hard much on campus time last semester due to covid so haven’t really experienced everything the campus offers.

I got to experience the University before and during covid. Beforehand it was good, difficult to find a seat in the library but a generally a good atmosphere and the union was a good night out. After covid obviously a lot of the uni was closed and I was only on campus to attend labs which I must say my lecturers worked hard to ensure we got back and could learn what we needed to. Though I know others were stuck at home and only working online and it was not the best experience. Overall I think the University is a decent place to be but that improvements could be made to online learning if it is to be somewhat long term.

everyone is very helpful and friendly

Great for student experience and social side

I feel like there is not much support generally. It's a good university in terms of the academic side but the student support is not great.

Unfortunately, due to covid, i can not really speak on many of these since everything was online and I couldnt actually use the campus, but what i know was great

Due to covid I've had very little in person learning although what I have had I have enjoyed and I am looking forward to my second year of studies.

Great university and location for students, everything is within walking distance, there is lots to do in dundee ! A lovely place to be a student

Fantastic university and brilliant campus in Dundee.

Can’t say that I have experienced that much of the university due to covid.

Although having studied throughout a pandemic with distanced learning, the city is decent with many opportunities to explore Scotland. In addition, the uni is very supportive of any concerns student might have.

it’s a great university. due to the large volume of students it’s harder to ensure good standards across the board but overall 8/10

Spent 5 years in this uni and enjoyed my time here a lot!

Dundee is full of places to visit and I really enjoy my course here. I am looking forward to 3rd year.

Very good student Union for nightlife and daytime social engagements

Nice place to study. It would be good if

Been absolutely satisfied with the University in general.

I just finished my first year at the University of Dundee but did most of my classes online. During the first semester we had some on campus classes, the campus in general is very neat and everything can be reached by foot. The Student Union and the Careers Service seemed very active, even during covid, but I do not have a comparison to last year. The wifi is very fast and worked in all the buildings I had classes in. There is a huge amount of societies and clubs at the University of Dundee but due to covid, most of them where not really active this year so I cannot judge their performance.

Haven’t been able to go in person all year, but still have had a good experience so far

Very good campus, especially great when lockdown isn’t happening

It is really nice place to live. Located in good place and environment is good as well

except for covid everything is great

The University of Dundee has a great way of teaching, as you can learn a lot without stressing too much. Furthermore, it offers a lot of opportunities to develop your degree and knowledge. On the other hand, Dundee is an amazing city for students, as everything is very close. Moreover, as there are two universities, it’s a really good place to be a student. Likewise, you’ll meet a lot of people and there is always a plan to do.

Overall I think my time in uni for first year has been interesting. The pandemic has definitely placed a giant stone in front of students, not being able to give us a normal experince. Although I felt like the uni tried there hardest to allow student to work hard and support student as well as providing a social uni life for them.

A good university with a great range of co-curricular clubs and societies.

Dundee University is a very friendly place that I enjoy studying at. The facilities at the Union are a great place to socialise. The library is a bright and open place that offers many floors where you can study!

Enjoying my time at Dundee University, however have had issues over the last two years regarding ambiguity with teachings, I have been dealing with it well but am aware of classmates who have found it confusing.

The student support isnt great except the funding services

Great and accessible facilities. Close to city centre and only walking distance from other attractions.

Great uni overall and great support in all aspects

As COVID has wrecked 2nd year of my studies, I will base my experience on 1st year. The University of Dundee is top tier with the range of things it’s offers such as counselling, night club, services (I.e. careers service, financial serves, etc.), sports opportunities, societies. Each location is of the utmost quality

It is a good university that has loads of societies so there is something for everyone

You can get all u want in the campus, such as premier, cafes, pub. The uni is near to the city centre, which is quite convenient. They are all in walkable distance.

Really welcoming place with a good student life.

Dundee is great, it really is. Everything is in one place and the uni is really nice and everyone is so helpful!

Due to COVID haven't been able to use many of these resources.

I had low expectations, however it has been surprisingly pleasant. The facilities and laboratories are great as well as the atmosphere as a whole. The main downside is the quality of teaching, even thought the teachers are experienced in their field the teaching style is not very effective as there are no lectures, they only provide notes which we have to learn on our and in class we revise questions, this obviously varies depending on the course you are partaking.

A lovely university with great students and staff.

Great uni, welcoming feel and all very central!

Has gone downhill from where it was ten years ago. Was a competitive redbrick but the quality and breadth of its courses is now approaching that of a polytech. Some fields have fared worse than others. The Humanities in particular have fallen off a cliff, there's very few staff and almost zero choice in modules. As for the university itself, the Union is very good, but it's a typical city campus university, a series of grey buildings lacking any soul or character. A grey uni in a grey town.

It is easy for students to graduate

There’s a lot of support for students who need it and staff are always friendly and supportive so you’re never alone. Plenty of societies to get involved in an amazing social environment and make plenty of friends. For those interested in the night life, it’s super cheap and that all you need to know.

Best for International Students..

Excellent all round nightlife and daylife, also provides good support and it’s also really cheap

University is nice but I feel professor are bit partial and biased towards the student who goes to give gifts and who are little extrovert and people who are little introvert suffers and student can feel the difference but have nowhere to raise the concern. Even the feedbacks which they give us to fill is not anonymous as professor recognizes the handwriting and they don't treat the student fairly later its more common in the master programme of dentistry.

I’ve absolutely loved my time here at the university.

Can't even describe the glowing reports I get from everyone I hear. Definitely the most up and coming University anywhere around!

Came from a university in Wales to do masters and it doesn't compare the Dundee. The postgraduate reception helped which was in dusa to meet other postgrads. Undeniablely great place

I loved my university experience here, there is always so much to do and a great support system for students. DUSA is a great night out, and also helped me from academics, welfare and setting up a society!

I had the best 4 years of my life here! Everyone is super friendly and helpful, the facilities are great and everything is 2 seconds away!

Best university experience ❤️

Definitely the best Uni I’ve visited! Facilities top class and staff are so helpful.

Campus is nice and compact with a real community feeling ❤️

Brilliant University campus and facilities

Great staff lovely city nice people the library is very good

Amazing university with excellent courses, student life and a fantastic, up and coming city.

Couldn’t have asked for a better uni experience, 10/10

Great university. Can’t get better

Love living around campus, love working in the student union. There’s always something going on. I’ve only been away for summer 2 months and I wish I was back at uni

An amazing University that really cares about its students.

Union is class, 3 nights a week and still always somehow keeping it fresh. Always support for anything you need and I mean anything. Wifi has just been updated for outside use and is better than ever

Really enjoy studying at Dundee. It’s a great place to make genuine friends and get a great education.

The University of Dundee has been so amazing this year. I was made to feel so welcome by everyone, other students and staff, that Dundee now feels like home, even though I’ve only lived there 9 months. The university has excellent teachers and state of the art facilities, and the union is excellent, as are the many Societies!

So far I’ve made so many friends and had the time of my life. I love my course and the campus and am looking forward to the next 3 years.

Great uni great city would recommend to anyone living cost is non existent people are wonderful you can’t loose

Incredibly supportive and brilliant university in many ways. Made the right decision choosing the University of Dundee over the Uni. of Glasgow and Edinburgh as I do not feel I would have received the same level of support. Dundee uni puts the needs, safety and well-being of its students before anything else. The teaching is fantastic, the nightlife is great. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or University

Would recommend Dundee to anyone!

I am so so happy i decided to dundee uni, love that its a student city

The staff were fantastic, they take the time to get to know you wether you see them once in 4 years or every day.

Great university and have loved the past 3 years of study there looking forward to doing my masters degree with them.

Dundee university is a great place to go to uni!

Dundee university is a great place to go to uni!

I am having the best time at this university, freshers week was amazing and the nightlife is great for any young student. I am also enthralled by my biomedical sciences course.

The university immediately made me feel welcome. And have always cared more about the students than their work. Also the union is amazing, is reasonably priced and has one if not the best nightclubs in dundee

Wifi never works and careers is s*** no help

Absolutely brilliant, such a great place

Halls are overpriced, staff are very unhelpful, union is not universal for everyone and Wi-Fi is never accessible

In general ,the port's union ,the library , and the dental school facilities are very good and organised.Generally speaking, the staff everywhere is friendly ,responsible and keen to help. I am happy that I have chosen the university :)

The facilities at the university could be better but as far as the social element goes between the students union holding constant events, and the amount of clubs and societies available there is always something happening. I’ve visited friends and went to various other student unions across Northern Ireland Scotland and England and nothing has came close to DUSA yet and any friends who come to visit have said the same.

I’m in my third and final year at the UoD, it has been the best three years of my life and I can’t wait to come back to carry out my masters in the newer future! Staff are second to none and will help you through any issues, personal or academic, not to mention the social activities that can be undertaken at the university!

I have loved my time at Dundee Unitersity and I am very sad that I only have one semester left. The staff are always happy to help and are very engaging when teaching. The various teaching methods (lectures, workshops, practicals and field trips) give a well rounded learning experience and allows people of differing learning styles to thrive. I highly recommend Dundee both for learning and social life, and would definitely consider doing another degree here.

It is a great uni, with great resources and facilities, close to the town with a great union and support

I really love how close everything is and the library is fantastic.

Dundee’s great you instantly feel welcome and at home the staff are friendly and keen to help you as well as other students being welcoming

Very good, get mwi all’s good

I feel that the university has got a service available for all of its students needs, whether it be academic, religious, sexual safety and leisure. It’s also provides a night bus that runs from 8pm on to early hours in the morning, which ensures the safety of all students trying to get home.

The union is the best for sure, all the educational buildings are closed to each other , easy to assess . The sport building has sufficient facilities to let the student to do the sport

Amazing university with staff who are so enthusiastic about their subjects. Everyone is so lovely and welcoming and the uni has so many events on throughout the year so you can never get bored!

Best university I could have ever chosen to study in. Unlimited internet for all my studying needs and endless societies to choose from. They have everything you could ever ask for on campus and there’s always someone you can talk to if you’re struggling.

I've had a fab time as a student in Dundee, and met some of the best people I've ever known. It's a pretty small city (you can walk from one end to the other in an hour), but already feels like home. Life sciences at Dundee uni are amazing and there is so much fantastic research going on that it feels great to be sat in the hub of.

Dundee university is a fantastic university with really good facilities and excellent staff. Both the union and the library which has recently been refurbished are both excellent

Great university, both the academic side and social side are brilliant.

Dundee is an amazing university, it has a great support network to get you through your degree. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here.

The WiFi is terrible in student accommodation. I think its a mediocre university to be honest.

UOD is an absolutely amazing uni that ensures every student gets the best out of their degree they can. The uni offers many services to help with your degree as well as other areas that might need a bit of focus on (mental health). The student union is also amazing in the sense it provides everything you need in one place. The campus is very central making it easy to get to and from. 100% would recommend

couldn’t imagine being st uni anywhere else

Dundee University has been a great experience and I am so pleased I chose this uni

Incredible, have had the time of my life

Dundee is superb, criminally underrated

I love the city and the campus, it's wee but very very cosy and the people are like family. There is a big presence of international students which for me is very important as i am an international student living away from home. It makes it way easier to integrate if you feel welcome, which I do

Great experience at Dundee, student union is by far the best I’ve been to you never get bored of going. Campus is convenient and modern

An amazing Uni with so much to offer

I do feel it has a long way to go in learning support. And academic monitoring

Excellent campus with great facilities and fantastic SU. Wide variety of fulfilling courses available. Only lacks structure to performance sport.

Amazing university, with brilliant lecturers

The university offers lots of opportunities to improve not only in your choosen study field, but also diffrent others with it's over 150 societies, 60 clubs and encouragement for innovation through company start up funds and establishment help.

a first year student at university of dundee and have already loved every moment. the people are wonderful and the staff really help out the students in any way they can

In my first year I have already found that everyone is very helpful and the courses are structured

Dundee has a compact campus making the amount of people you encounter higher compared to other uni's thus creating a very friendly community within the university. The lecturers are also free most of the time for any questions you need and will make alot of time for their students. The only downside is that some of the foreign lecturers are hard to understand speaking/writing.

An amazing university with brilliant resources and teaching standards

Amazing staff Social sciences faculty is excellent

Dundee is an amazing uni! They do everything in the power to support us students and ensure our university experience is the best

Fantastic university with great lecturers, facilities and social life.

I have had the best time as a student here. The course staff are brilliant

Thoroughly enjoying the experience. Students union is very crowded most nights and so less enjoyable. Library is excellent, WiFi throughout the campus.

Brilliant University in an up and coming city. Great night life, top class facilities, best union in Scotland and offers a wide range if course including medicine, dentistry, law and engineering.

Getting involved might seem treaky for any fresher, but in Dundee its not a problem! Lovely people and University staff is always willing to help, all you need is not to be afraid to ask. Student Union is great, many activities and active societies that makes campus very vibrant and buzzing! <3

A fantastic university at the heart of a vibrant city that is undergoing a massive transformation! I moved from Glasgow with low expectations and was totally blown away.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Excellent university, loved my time there and didn't want to leave!

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.

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.

Awesome first year to start University life. Couldn't have asked for a better beginning.

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

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.

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.

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.
