A gift from Mary Ann Baxter funded the foundation of University College Dundee in 1881, and for a long period the college belonged to the University of St Andrews. Independence came in 1967, when the University of Dundee received its royal charter. Today it covers a broad range of subjects and has approximately 13,000 students, the majority of them undergraduates.
More than 50 buildings make up the main campus in Dundee's West End, while the School of Medicine is located at Ninewells Hospital, on the city's western edge. The life sciences are a particular strength: in the Research Excellence Framework, Dundee's biological sciences research placed among the strongest in the UK. The university also has established expertise in medicine, dentistry, engineering and law. Through Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design it has a substantial profile in art and design, where students take a general first year, trying out several disciplines, before selecting a specialist honours pathway. As is usual in Scotland, undergraduate honours degrees generally take four years.
Information for International Students
The International Advice Service, whose staff include an arrivals coordinator, assists international students, together with their families, with immigration queries, visa extensions, ATAS clearance, Graduate Route applications and practical matters such as banking. Applicants below direct entry requirements can start through International College Dundee, an embedded college that Oxford International Education Group runs on the campus. Undergraduates can follow its International Stage One or International Stage Two route, and postgraduates its International Incorporated Master's; each blends academic English with subject study before students progress to a Dundee degree.
On the city campus, the university also delivers pre-sessional English courses of its own, among them an 11-week option for applicants whose score is at most one IELTS band short of what their course requires; passing it allows progression with no IELTS retake. English requirements differ between courses and appear on each course page. A guarantee of one single-room offer for the first year, in flats located on campus or nearby, applies to new full-time students who make Dundee their firm first choice and apply for housing before the deadline. Country pages list regional scholarships and entry requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with University of Dundee is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for University of Dundee start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. University of Dundee may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
