We are one of the UK’s top 20 universities (Guardian University Guide 2021) and we have some of the best levels of graduate employment in the UK – in fact, we are 1 st in Scotland for the proportion of graduates entering high skilled employment (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2020).
The University of Dundee is organised into ten Schools containing multiple disciplines:
- Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design
- School of Business
- School of Dentistry
- School of Education and Social Work
- School of Humanities
- School of Life Sciences
- School of Medicine
- School of Health Sciences
- School of Science and Engineering
- School of Social Sciences
Each School offers a variety of undergraduate, taught postgraduate and research courses in a wide range of subjects. Most courses are led by research, with students learning from those on the cutting edge of their discipline.
