We build on our success by investing in excellent facilities, pushing the boundaries of research, and equipping our staff and students with the means to create real-world impact. Dundee’s research is highly rated by the most recent Research Excellence Framework (2022), which assesses the quality and impact of research submitted by universities across the UK. Furthermore, 84% of the University’s research was found to be ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.

We pride ourselves in offering a wide range of subjects to study and world class teaching facilities. We currently have over 16,000 students studying across a number of subject areas including life sciences, creative arts, business, accountancy, computing, law, engineering, medicine, and dentistry.
