The University of Dundee, Scotland, is one of the UK's leading universities, internationally recognised for its expertise across a range of disciplines including science, medicine, engineering and art.
In 2007, the University celebrated 40 years since it became an independent university after a 70 year relationship with the University of St. Andrews.
The University has seen some major changes in that time. The past decade has been a particularly exciting time of progression and change - since 1994 the University has more than doubled in size.
The main campus of the university is located in Dundee's West End, which also contains the university's affiliated Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design. The university also has additional campuses at Ninewells Hospital and in Kirkcaldy, Fife - containing parts of its School of Nursing and Midwifery. Dundee has developed a significant reputation for students entering the traditional professions most notably law, medicine and dentistry as well as emerging areas such as life sciences and art.
Extensive renovation of the central campus has taken place, culminating in a number of new and upgraded buildings in 2007 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the university's independence.
Large extensions have been placed on the Main Library and sports centre, and a number of new halls of residence (Heathfield, Belmont, West Park and Seabraes) have been gradually phased into operation. A new building has been erected to house the School of Education and Social Work, replacing the previous Gardyne Road Campus in the east of the city, which has been taken up by Dundee College. Significant improvement works have taken place in the Old Technical Institute, Medical Sciences Institute and Old Medical School buildings.
