very good for first year, nice and easy location.
I haven’t had much experience with the careers services so can’t fairly judge, but other aspects of the university have been fantastic. The Union always has social events running both nightlife and in the day, but also affordable food/drink with the prem attached and the cafes inside, with a clothing drive/thrift pop-up in floor 1 multiple times a semester, a free breakfast programme and others. The library and student services are the highlights. The library is massive, intuitive and easy to use, with quiet and collaborative spaces as well as bookable private/conference rooms, an art/design area with a surprisingly affordable 3d printer among other tools available to use, the cafe is fantastic for long study shifts with really good paninis and the opening hours make the library available at almost all hours sociable or not. The student services are very thorough and supportive, listening well without judgement and work to find solutions to help both life and study become better.
the best flats on campus, i definitely recommend.
Enjoyed my first year staying on campus, loved the societies I have joined. I don’t feel like DUSA was good to this year besides Halloween/ St Patrick’s events and foodbank/breakfast club was a nice touch. The refurbishment of the cafe/bar area made the setting worse. Many students who have been here for a few years have said DUSA has been on a downwards spiral. I also did not like how most of the business school teaching was online for first years- this was not highlighted to us and it really disappointed me. Paying £6,600 for student halls and i could realistically stayed at home!
The university of Dundee is a good place for students who feel lost .it’s welcomes both international and local students.It has a serene atmosphere for studying and ultra modern technology to help in studies
Good university, staffs are super nice. Active student union and support!
Univer of Dundee is a great university with a lot of opportunities and facilities. 10/10 would recommend.
The University of Dundee is an absolute game-changer for me. From the moment I set foot on campus, I knew I was in for an incredible journey. The professors are top-notch, providing engaging lectures and invaluable support. The campus itself is stunning, with modern facilities and beautiful surroundings. But what really stands out is the vibrant and diverse student community. I have met people from all walks of life, forming lifelong friendships and experiencing different cultures. The university also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities and events, keeping us entertained and connected. Dundee University has truly exceeded my expectations.
Work hard, and you will find all the goodness here!
The best decision I made was to choose university of Dundee for my masters.
the overall campus and structure to University of Dundee is great, wouldn’t want to carry my degree out anywhere else
A great variety of social activities to get involved in and lots of events are run which was great!
Lovely campus, everything is at reasonable distance from each other. I did not get to spend as much time on-campus being a Medicine student but for the time I spent there, it's a peaceful yet happening campus.
all round very positive experience !
Many events for students to discover and participate in, located in a nice and compact city
The school has a wide range of societies and facilities available. However, a sport membership is required to use the sports facilities which i do not really like about the school as we already pay a pretty high tuition fee.
I really enjoy the teaching as an art student, I feel like there could be a better student union as no one really bothers going there
Wifi works really well in the union and throughout all the uni buildings, ideal for lectures. Library can be fun when ur not rly stressed out about exams. The cafes really nice and the paninis r so good.
The staff are really nice and helpful when it comes to our education. However, due to the strikes there were lots of classes that were cancelled which as a international student this is very unfair to us as we paid a high amount of tuition fee and travelling fee to get here to study. I hope there would be some compensation for us international students.
Has been a very insightful experience
It is in a beautiful location with amazing people and staff. I never expected Dundee to be this amazing and friendly.
good university with good support for academics by lecturers, did not use career services so can not comment.
Excellent University. Everyone is super friendly and happy to talk to each other. .
I have spent a good time here, the classes and lifestyle in general are good although I still struggle with homesickness.
I attend the art school at UoD and the staff have been very helpful so far. I’ve learned quite a lot about my course and the connections I’ve made at this university will definitely be advantageous for the future.
Great uni with good facilities and clubs. Very clean campus, with modern and well kept buildings. strong WiFi all across campus
This is an amazing university and it has been a dream of mine to attend here since before I even started high school (my older sister used to study here which sparked my interest in it), it has lived up to all my expections and more and I cannot recommend this university enough
All the facilities were really helpful, they made the experience alot smoother and enjoyable.
Pretty decent, good facilities but not enough advertising for clubs, clubs on a weird times.
Extremely satisfied with my experience at the university and have received help at every step.
Clubs not too busy and the careers emails are too much
I had good experience. But the classes being online at the beginning of the semester restricted me from having a complete university experience and socialising.
I have generally had a good experience studying here. I have enjoyed my course and had pretty good opportunities to meet new friends. Some of my course lecturers and horrible people.
Great university and have enjoyed the course so far, student Union is good but has more potential
Having gone through ICD, I can attest to the university's friendliness, especially for us overseas students.
Great experience, super easy calm environment
I made the right decision by choosing University of Dundee. Faculties are helpful and supportive. They’re always eager to solve your doubts and ready to guide you in right direction. Excellent library fasciitis. Overall a perfect place to study.
The campus facilities are all very good with lots to use and access. The student union is very good however it would be nice if it was open for nights out more often. I haven’t had to use the careers service so don’t know what this is like.
enjoyed first year a lot, would always recommend this university to others.
In terms of facilities, the university is really good. The building are located in a location that you have eadily access to main campus, career service, enquiry center, and even bus stops. The green campus can be found every where and it can boost your mental condition as well. In tetms of teachers and professors, personally speaking majority of them are highly educated and have the ability to convey the concept in an appropriate way. They are at the same time friendly and really supportive. Regarding the staffs, more than 98 percent of them are supportive, kind, sympathetic and expert at their jobs.
Great campus with everything I’m walking distance and many activities on to attend
Amazing university i really enjoyed my stay at campus and everything is just nearby and related to studies this university is really good
Good facilities and people with great social life
Good academic staff. But a bit of chaos in the Social Work department.
A welcoming, well-organised community.
Wifi wasn’t very strong in flats
The uni provided a range of opportunities and is close to lots of things like clubs and bars!
My biggest love is the student Union especially the pantry service that provides free food and groceries for student. My experience with the lectures was amazing, everything about the MSc program is value for money.
Amazing university, staff are all amazing and made settling in easier
My time at the University of Dundee so far has been incredibly fulfilling. The university's commitment to academic excellence, practical learning, student support, and multiculturalism has provided me with a well-rounded educational experience. I would highly recommend the University of Dundee to any international student seeking a world-class education in a welcoming and vibrant environment.
A lovely area, with lots of opportunities
One of the best university unions - really good for events at night and good cafes for socialising during the day. Lots of options to join a club or society theres one out there for everyone.
As expected the University of Dundee was worth the move and the expenditure. I was always in the library space in the Scrymgeour building and the ambience was the perfect blend of relaxed and reading. The WiFi did have its days when it was frustrating but overall the bandwidth was impressive. Staff were ‘all smiles’ all day and of course the library cafe and student union cafes served good food . I really appreciated DUSA free breakfast and pantry food, it came in really handy especially for international students trying to find their feet. I give the University of Dundee 8.5/10, would highly recommend to family and friends
University of Dundee has been a great place to study so far as I have met many friends and our personal lecturer is excellent, responsive and attendant. DUSA however leaves much to be desired in terms of resolving society related matters.
The campus is pretty big and has almost everything you need. There are variety of clubs and societies for you to join, suitable for people with different abilities and levels.
A very friendly uni with great connections. The lecturers in the school of life sciences love to help out the students and put everyone in a great mood
Very convenient campus, helpful staff
The university was great for school and mental health support but I think the actual union could’ve been better for social events.
I'm currently a student there and I'm really enjoying my experience. The campus is beautiful and has a great mix of modern and historic buildings. The professors are knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects, and there are plenty of resources available to help students succeed. The student body is diverse and friendly, and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in extracurricular activities. I also appreciate the location of the university as it's close to the city center and there are plenty of things to do and see in the area. Overall, I would highly recommend Dundee Uni to anyone looking for a quality higher education experience.
Didn't make much use of the social aspect of university so I cannot comment. The library is nice but often very busy as it is quite small.
Huge campus, everything is close together and main library is highly accessible.
extremely welcoming and safe environment for students. this university is really diverse and makes sure everyone is included in activities and events.
Very nice university, helpful staff. Lots of resources
University provides good internet across certain areas as well as useful staff support across campus when needed.
honestly really enjoyed it so far, only let down is how expensive halls are.
The accommodation is close to the university of Dundee, 7 mins by walk
Great university very supportive and helpful
The university is in a good location that is close to the city centre. It is has a good library and a wide range of societies for students to join. It regularly holds events and activities for students to participate. They have a variety of services aimed to help students throughout their studies such as the academic skills centre and the counselling service.
I had no problems in campus and found help when required. Career services are very helpful with supporting students needs. I was not a part of the any clubs but I have friends who had good experience. Fun activities were conducted by the student union through out the year.
I really enjoy the university, I felt very welcomed
The uni is nice however I didn’t spend much time on campus
Amazing uni, good advice depending on your course and lots of help if needed
Great university, course has taught me everything I need to know to progress further if I want to.
uni itself is nice as in facilities etc, lecturers are very very unprofessional/inappropriate.
The university of Dundee is an amazing university. The facilities on campus are very easy to find and great and all staff are extremely helpful with any problems you may have. All classrooms and lecture halls are comfortable and have great WiFi access.
Okay campus with lots of room for improvement. Entrance to Dalhousie building is extremely stupid. Entrance to library is too small and can often get crowded. Very decent student union building with comfy seating, nice bars, nice nightclub but weird noises in the toilets and ugly building exterior (especially as seen from Airlie Place). Amazing work with a free breakfast club on weekday mornings however student executive/the hive reception too rarely staffed and unhelpful. Decent swimming pool at the union that could do with modernising refurbishment to changing rooms. Campus green is nice with unnecessary UoD signs and roundabout outside Dalhousie is very unpleasant. Exterior refurbishment to Tower Building is taking way too long and other parts of campus deserve attention too. Life Sciences/CAHID building is extremely ugly with ugly surroundings. Very nice Tennis courts opposite Belmont flats. Campus accommodates for cars too much and green spaces should be expanded and improved.
Good place to stay. Good flatmates. Nice staff
Overall, I must say that I had an extremely poor experience staying at Heathfield for last 8 months. Too expensive for what we get. Even the DUSA shops which are meant to be subsided for students are expensive. We have faced multiple time noise issues in our flat during quiet hours and the security was of no help. The mattress are the worst in the world I must say. I have had complained multiple times and was directed to disability services. We are not disable and the university must understand that. You cannot sleep properly, after a few weeks of usage, started getting backache, neck pain and improper sleep. It seems like I have not slept properly for last 8 months and another 1 month to survive. I can write further, but that would be waste of time. For 707 £ / month, this is far from being satisfactory. Interested only in timely payments but not service. I will never recommend anyone to stay in Heathfield for the money students pay. University must compensate for the agony
My experience has been good, staff are helpful and workload is not too difficult and there is enough time to complete work before deadlines. Mental health and disabilities services are great.
Good university. Someone can come to study for Medicine.
Absolutely no complaints about the university as a whole - any issues have been to do with departments and are discussed monthly to reduce the impact of these issues. Amazing support offered both by the university and DUSA. If living in halls, ResLife are easily accessible for any advice and support regarding social issues within the flats.
Very good place to study. I enjoy coming here as I meet new people. This nursing experience has been really good and i cant wait to study here again next year
Staff are great, very helpful when missing classes. Internet and electronic devices are good standard.
I’ve been here for almost a year and I believe that the campus provides students with everything they need to navigate through the academic year.
Good university, love my course.
Great uni for engineering and socialising
it’s been a good 2 years, lots of in person lectures now
Welcoming relaxed environment, staff are helpful for the most part.
Met some very nice people on my corse who were super friendly and we’ve been friends ever since
