The University of Dundee has amazing locations and infrastructures. A building worth highlighting is the Library. With three floors and various levels of noise areas, it is the perfect place to study either individually or for group projects. The campus is very centralized, all the buildings are very close to each which makes the student's life easier. Specifically, in life sciences, the labs are up to date and perfectly well equipped. The student atmosphere at the university is great. Very inclusive and welcoming. The university has a huge amount of societies and sports clubs and there is something for everyone! There are always events taking place and the university, along with the student union, offers support to students with anything they might need.

The student support and the union are my personal favourite. The support facilities are clearly distinguished and is easy to navigate around. The union is also able to provide good quality products at reduced and reasonable prices which is great for students.

the support here is great, you are given help regarding counselling and so much more, teachers listen and the student services are ready to listen. however staff is not treated as well as they should be, which explains strike actions
Fantastic student city, everything is within walking distance. Great campus, lovely law school staff who are always willing to help. I have thoroughly enjoyed my course and time at university!
Haven't spent much time on campus since first year, so have a superficial view of facilities. Studios are good work spaces.

Duncan if Jordansone has such a wonderful community feel but it didn’t always feel integrated into the wider university community. There are many resources offered for student support but more shouldn dve done to make students aware of these resources and make it easier for them to see assistance (financial aid, counselling etc.)

University of Dundee is the best place to study because it is located in a city that has everything a student would need to study and have a student life outside of the uni work. Dundee City is a great place filled with a lot be of students from different backgrounds and everyone is friendly you will definitely feel at home away from home . The uni wraith has alot of very good lecturers who are there to help and listen to any concerns . The university definitely puts students first and they are willing to help you steel settled and help with any concerns you may have . As an international student l was grateful that the university hosts a meet and great for all the international students to help you make friends . It also hosts one of the best scientists and researchers and will be a great place to do a life sciences degree as they are more than willing to guide you into the right direction and help you with any future career plans .

Dundee is a great place to study as it is a great city, very accessible and you can get anywhere within a 10 minute walk. My course has been really interesting so far especially the practical aspect. Obviously online learning was not the best and I didn't like how we continued online learning when in person teaching was allowed.

My best experience is being able to make new friends and be put in a situation where I can socialise more and challenge that social aspect of me My worst experience is trying to write an essay but not be able to have an in-depth guidance
The accommodation is great as well as the student union and library. I go to the library almost everyday. The wifi and just a few other small things need a bit of fixing but other than that is it great

I am very happy that i chose the university of dundee. The city is a very vibrant place and it is very beautiful. At university the people are very nice and helpful. However i feel like events are mostly targeted on students who party allot at night. The people who dont usually party are left without anyway of socialising, therefore are unable to enjoy the facilities to the fullest. In addition i feel like the union needs to have a more 'home' feel towards students so they can feel more comfortable and reasured that this is a safe space. When it comes to modules particularly mines and the people doing the same modules as me, we feel as if we arent being taught as much. I would love to see more ours a day that less hours, for example instead of having 2 spanish classes a week for 50 mins we could have 1 spanish class for 2 hours. I feel like it would lessen the stress in students and teachers .
The support that’s available to students is brilliant. These past 4 years have been tough, especially with covid thrown in the middle, but I have never felt lost as the staff have always been right behind me, ready to catch me when I fall. However, after many of myself and many of my peers submitted complaints and the university did nothing. We have felt let down by the university.
Terrible university. This is my second time at university and I have never been treated so badly before by lecturers. I have never dealt with such disrespect until I went to this university. David Porter the lecturer speaks very badly in a bullying manipulative manner to his students and is not professional at all. Very bad university and will not be recommending this university to anyone. There is no support at this university at all and you end up feeling very isolated - even after reaching out for help.


Dundee is such a great city for students. Everything is pretty accessible and nearby. The lecturers in UoD are amazing and there is always someone to help you whenever you need help (regarding anything literally!) I am very happy with my experience so far at Dundee and University of Dundee so I can't think of anything which could be done better.
Computing at Dundee is an amazing course and I won't say it's easy but the lecturers and staff are always there to help you out if you are stuck with anything. The module content is great too and with the covid restrictions easing down, there have been more in-person lectures and contact hours. The course was taught well in blended learning too by giving us materials online to study from. I don't think there is any worst aspect about this course but one thing which I found difficult was coping up with weekly assignments and projects while managing the weekly study material but this can be mastered over time.
