About University

The University of Dundee is a public research university based in Dundee, Scotland. It was founded as a university college in 1881 with a donation from the prominent Baxter family of textile manufacturers. The institution was, for most of its early existence, a constituent college of the University of St Andrews, alongside United College and St Mary's College located in the town of St Andrews itself. Following significant expansion, the University of Dundee gained independent university status by royal charter in 1967 while retaining elements of its ancient heritage and governance structure. The main campus of the university is located in Dundee's West End, which contains many of the university's teaching and research facilities, including the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee Law School, and the Dundee Dental Hospital and School. The University has additional facilities at Ninewells Hospital, containing its School of Medicine; Perth Royal Infirmary, which houses a clinical research center; and in Kirkcaldy, Fife, containing part of its School of Health Sciences. The annual income of the institution for 2021–22 was £291.5 million, of which £71.8 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £344.8 million.
