The University of Dundee

The University of Dundee is a public research university in Dundee, Scotland. The university was founded as a university college in 1881 with a donation from the renowned Baxter family of textile manufacturers. The institution was, for most of its early existence, a college affiliated with the University of St Andrews, along with United College and St Mary's College, located in St Andrews itself. Following significant expansion, the University of Dundee was granted independent university status by Royal Charter in 1967, while retaining much of its ancient heritage and governance structure. The main campus of the university is located in the West End of Dundee, where many of the university's teaching and research institutions are located.

The University of Dundee has developed a significant reputation among students in traditional professions, primarily law, medicine and dentistry, as well as emerging fields such as life sciences.
