Dundee, Scotland’s sunniest city, is conveniently located with easy access to beautiful coastlines, spectacular lochs, glens and forest yet within an hour’s reach of Scotland’s larger commercial centres. The city and the university have undergone significant transformation in the last decade reflected in the city achieving the UK’s first UNESCO City of Design status and the university being short-listed for the Times Higher Education University of the Year award in 2016.
