I really enjoy so far my time at the University of Dundee. Looking forward to start my course and meet new people.
Though a relatively small place, University of Dundee is a really clean and pretty place to complete your studies. So many beautiful places and gardens, amazing library and services provided. You can even make your own crafts for free in the library such as 3D printing and badges! Wifi is provided throughout the whole campus, so you don’t need to worry about connectivity. The enquiry centres are so so supportive towards their students, helping us whenever wherever we have a question or problem. Our seniors are also so nice, bringing us for campus tours during the beginning and explaining things here to make sure we are well prepared for the school year. Another thing is that UoD has so many different types of clubs!! So many things for everyone to join, I am sure everyone will find a club they enjoy doing!
Dundee university truly feels like home weather coming as an international student or just out of the city. Moving here came with nerves as to being lonely due to not knowing anyone, i was wrong. The uni makes an effort for socialising by having every social you can think of from sports club to boards games and everything in between. The teaching staff also allows you to ask any question even if you believe it to be a “dumb question”. however the negatives is the small campus and the lack of certain resources which some may find as an annoyance but i believe the small campus is a strength as it allows for easy time keeping when reaching lectures.
The university provides all the essential facilities students need and the management staff are always helpful in keeping students updated about what’s happening on campus. A real highlight is the career service, which goes above and beyond in supporting students with CV preparation and career planning. The university is also a great place to meet people from different countries and backgrounds, creating opportunities to learn from each other.
As a student studying at the University of Dundee, I’ve really enjoyed studying here. The campus has a nice layout that makes it easy to get around, with everything close by. The environment is welcoming and supportive, with plenty of spaces to study or relax. Overall, it’s a great place to learn and grow.
the best university I could ever ask for!
The University of Dundee shines as an academically rigorous, student-centered, and innovative institution with excellent outcomes. While recent financial struggles pose real challenges, the university’s commitment to research intensity, student support, and social impact remains clear. Whether you're drawn by its strengths in science, medicine, or creative fields, Dundee offers a stellar university experience—just be aware of current changes and potential disruptions.
My experience has been good, every staff has been helpful and people at uni are decent. Just wish the Seats app could be fixed because it does cause some trouble at times
Genuinely have no complaints, love it here!!
Being on campus has been great so far and I find the student community really helpful. Facilities are great on campus.
A very peaceful place to study!
we’re in debt lol and eduroam sucks a**
Good facility, nice and generous staff, just feel like in home
Great uni looking forward to second year !

Good experience for studying and very good experience overall
Neat and tidy place to live in. Also, the university and city center is also nearby.
Enjoy my course and met amazing people
Great and supportive staff who're very good at giving prompt replies to any issues that arise. Excellent location next to the university whilst still being a decent price considering the recent nationwide increases in rent prices
It’s okay. The teachers aren’t the best
The university has a really nice atmosphere on campus. There's always something going on and a generally good vibe
It is in a good location and on the whole is a good place to study.
I have enjoyed my university life and would definitely recommend my connections as well.
Good university to study. Best infrastructure and best life
It’s ok. I think the making of new societies is troublesome as I’ve been advocating for over a year now. I think there isn’t too much space for having lunch etc since most of the union is closed.
I really feel home staying here at West Park,the place is calm,peaceful and quite.The staff here are very friendly.
Reasonable place to study. For international students.. it’s a good place to pursue life sciences, medicine or dentistry.
All inconveniences of living with people aside, Heathfield is a good location to spend one semester in. Even for the less social ones, living your own life without participating in group activities is merely possible. Yet, I encourage you to give a chance to this opportunity all gathered, this is enriching as everyone comes from other countries. You might as well be prepared to undertake household chores without counting who did what.
I do not regret choosing to study at Dundee University.
Overall decent university. Not too dynamic of a campus, but staff and lecturers are great.
Wifi cuts out often and the clubs provided a minimally active; however this only seems to be an issue with a few clubs.
Absolutely no complaints what so ever.
The university needs imrovements but overall had a nice experience. I enjoyed how friendly everyone is but services needs better regulations
Very good university however wifi in academic buildings could be improved.
I really love studying at Dundee!
The buildings on campus aren't far from each other, campus isn't too spread out which I like. Can get good views of the tay from some areas. Campus is also really close to places like lidl and tesco which make it handy for doing a food shop after class or going for a quick sweet treat in between classes. Campus is also fairly clean and tidy.
everything is great! so many support services
I wish there were more societies and especially a nursing society where we can all go to and speak about everything going on. Also to meet other students who are in different years who can advise us
The Internet can sometimes be slow, but otherwise is very reliable. There are a lot of good clubs/societies available to join.
great teaching staff always happy to answer questions
For the size of the university it has everything you could need and there’s plenty to get yourself involved in.
The University of Dundee offers excellent academic support and a welcoming environment for students. The campus is well-maintained, with clean facilities and great services that make studying here enjoyable. If you're looking for a university with quality education and a great student experience, Dundee is a fantastic choice!
I'm totally new so I wouldn't be able to rate about careers services, students union and club societies but as they won't allow me to go forward without it, so I'm rating it with a positive Hope.Hope I would be getting support from the team I mentioned. As being a international student we definitely would feel great to get support for a normal part time job,or to interact with students union and even being a part of some club or society.
Amazing uni, currently not a great choice for stability due to huge financial issues, everything is really easily accessible (if you live on campus), the uni has pretty much everything you need as long as you know your way around
Studying at the University of Dundee has been a dynamic and enriching experience. With excellent academic support, hands-on learning, and a diverse student community, it’s a place of growth and opportunity. From engaging lectures to clinical placements, every day brings new challenges and discoveries, making the journey both rewarding and unforgettable
Wide range of courses, great student union! Convenient location, in the city and good transportation.
Loads of clubs and societies to choose from that aren't just sports.
Lectures are recorded so it's really useful for revision and thereters are spacious
sometimes the internet doesn’t work which is annoying, there’s not been much chat about careers or anything. I would say the campus is easy to get to and realitivly central
University of Dundee is absolutely amazing! Had a great experience here so far :)
Bad experience with the heads of my course but the uni itself is great. The wellbeing team is especially good.
The best experiences you could have.
Studying at the University of Dundee has been an incredible experience! The university offers an outstanding blend of academic excellence, supportive staff, and a vibrant student community.

One of the standout features is the student support system. Whether it’s academic guidance, career advice, or mental health support, Dundee truly prioritizes student well-being.
In my experience, studying at University of Dundee has been a really good experience. Staff are always there to help you when you are lost or have questions
Great university for biology and social events
Awesome facilities, great staff, and a bunch of societies
The university facilities are all nice and well kept, all my lecturers have been more than happy to help, union has lots of stuff going on. Clubs and societies are all thriving and there is many to join and choose from, as well as benefits for joining them.
Good size and good staff, very happy
It is a great sized university, and everybody is lovely. Lecturers are super helpful and are always good to talk to.
they're really poor at the minute so its not looking too great
I love Dundee university as I think the staff are really friendly, DUSA always has something on for everyone to do and I think the location is in a good spot
I love everything about the University and it's surrounding environment.
Really good university, With very engaging and intelligent lecturers who help you to understand the course, The sports union is very good and any questions I had were answered by incredibly nice people
I’ve made good friends and the professors are easy to approach.
Feel like home and student friendly
I'm too new to say about my experience in the campus but it has a very friendly environment and kindly stuff. In my first day in Dundee, a staff helped me to carry my luggage and I'm so grateful about her kindness.
amazing uni, very well located and very nice support for students
i am loving it here at Dundee and hope it stays the same for my remaining time here
Its the best university someone can ask for.
Internet is my only issue, and the seats app.
They provide assistance in every aspect of your student career and consultant is the absolute best. Living in accommodation really gives you living at home feeling.
Amazing university, kind staff and professors and exceptional courses.
The Dundee University campus is really beautiful and it's great to just take a stroll around the campus and admire all the old and new buildings. The layout is great as well for its fairly easy to find where you need to go for different classes. I'd say the highlight is the tower building with the rainbow windows as it's really beautiful to see at night.
Campus is really warm and welcoming, the library is a good warm environment with different levels for different noise ratings to help focus. The hockey society has been amazing, everyone is so friendly and made me feel so welcome and is a great way to make new friends. The internet can be on or off. Career services are amazing and helpful and so is the student union for meeting people
The internet and WiFi are great; I've never had an issue with them. I really like the Student Union, as they organise activities from time to time and actively engage with students. I've never been to Career Services, but from what I've heard from other students, it's fine. The campus facilities are excellent, with many places available for sports, although a membership is required. The same applies to clubs and societies.
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Heathfield for their warmth and hospitality. This is my first year away from home, studying alone in a foreign place with a completely different cultural climate. It takes me almost 30 hours to arrive. It's far away from home. However, the kindness and friendliness of the staff and my roommates here have made me feel less lonely and more at home. And now here has become my second home. Your support has truly made a difference in my transition and adaptation to this new environment. Thank you for everything!
I think the rent is way too high and the fact that we have to pay extra for doing laundry is not something I'm used to in other student accommodations. There are problems that we report but most of the time no effort is made to fix them. There are too many times access is required and sometimes I don't really understand why. Feels uncomfortable having people show up so often to my space and sometimes they even forget to let us know people are coming.
great! Wish the premier at the student union had longer opening hours
Everyone here is ready to help with an outstanding help to fit in especially for international students
Great campus with good facilities
Great accommodation environment.
West park villas are one of the best student accommodation, it is maintained very well by the university and my personal experience over here is so peaceful and clam. Overall I would recommend for upcoming students who are looking for the accommodation.
Love the campus! Everything is so close and nice to have a community
Wonderful experience so far and I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
The University of Dundee is renowned for its excellent academic programs, supportive faculty, and vibrant student community. The campus offers state-of-the-art facilities, fostering both learning and research. Its welcoming environment and strong career prospects make it a great choice for students.
Well the campus is quite compact and close to the city centre, besides there are so many activities through the year, university is indeed well takw care of their students not just knowledge but mental health and networking as well
School campus is big. But more road sign will be better
Te University hosts a state of art library divided into separate spaces thus ensuring that everyone has access to a study place that fits their requirement, irrespective of whether it is preparing for a group assignment, an interview or just working alone on your research paper the library has a safe space for everything. Not only does it offer a place to study but it has a huge database for all students from different fields.
I really enjoy the campus, and the greenery. Lots of clubs and opportunities to join things
Sometimes the WiFi will disconnect suddenly
A range of societies and clubs to join which made integrating much easier and making new friends.
The university is very friendly and warm
Love all the clubs the uni has to offer. I haven’t gone to many student union events as they haven’t interested me.
Everything is fine love the look of campus
The University of Dundee is highly recommended for its supportive community, excellent facilities, and strong academic programs
As an international student it’s hard to make a place feel like home, but with the university of Dundee it isn’t hard anymore
Everyone at the university is very helpful, friendly, and encouraging. Especially the clubs and societies, getting involved is fun and easy. The campus is very well maintained and well staffed, staff is always ready to help.
Nice campus to study on and great staff
The university provides multiple facilities and resources particularly for international students, this helps with homesickness and loneliness which can be quite difficult to manage abroad. The career service hosts many events online and even offers one to one sessions for CV and interview preps.
Staff and lecturers are all very kind and pleasant. There are many cafes and pubs within walking distance, and I love the old buildings.
