The University of Dundee is a university based in the city and Royal burgh of Dundee on eastern coast of the central Lowlands of Scotland and with a small number of institutions elsewhere. Founded in 1881 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 City of St Andrews itself. Following significant expansion, the University of Dundee became an independent body in 1967 whilst retaining much of its ancient heritage and governance structure. Since its independence, the University of Dundee has grown to become an internationally renowned centre for teaching and research.

The main campus of the University of Dundee is located in Dundee's West End, which also contains the university's affiliated Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design. The University of Dundee 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.

The University of Dundee has its roots in the earlier University College based in Dundee and the University of St Andrews. During the 19th century, the growing population of Dundee significantly increased demand for the establishment of an institution of higher education in the city and several organisations were established to promote this end, including a University Club in the city. At the same time, the University of St Andrews was, as were the other universities in Scotland at the time, suffering from significant financial problems.

There was a significant movement with the intention of moving the entire University of Dundee (which the Royal Commission observed was now a "large and increasing town") or the establishment of a college along very similar lines to the present United College. Finally, agreement was reached that what was needed was expansion of the sciences and professions, rather than the arts at St Andrews. In the early 1870s, construction began on the North British Railway's Tay Bridge which cut journey times between Dundee and St Andrews enormously and allowed for a third option between the status quo and complete movement: the creation of what was foreseen as a "University of Dundee and St Andrews", situated between two campuses, each with their own particular specialities.

The University of Dundee has grown considerably since securing independent university status. The teaching of medicine, dentistry, law, nursing, social work and accountancy flourished, and a new Faculty of Letters (later renamed the Faculty of Arts) was developed. Dundee is the only university in the UK to offer an LLB in both English law and Scottish Law and to allow law students to dual qualify.

In 1974 the University of Dundee began to validate some degrees from Dundee's Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, and by 1988 all degrees from that institution were being validated in this fashion. In 1994 the two institutions merged, with the college becoming a constituent faculty of the university. In 1996, the Tayside College of Nursing and the Fife College of Health studies became part of the University of Dundee, as a school of Nursing and Midwifery. For several years, Dundee College of Education prepared students for degree examinations at the University of Dundee, and in December 2001 the university merged with the Dundee campus of Northern College to create a Faculty of Education and Social Work.

In October 2005, the University of Dundee became home to the first UNESCO centre in the United Kingdom. The IHP-HELP Centre for Water Law, Policy and Science is involved in research regarding the management of the world's water resources on behalf of the United Nations.

The 2000s brought extensive renovation to the University of Dundee central campus, culminating in a number of new and upgraded buildings being introduced around 2007 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the University of Dundee 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. The Dalhousie building was erected during this period 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 old buildings such as the Old Technical Institute, Medical Sciences Institute and Old Medical School buildings.

More plans remain, including the extension of the University of Dundee southwards and the creation of a number of green spaces linking the central parts of the University of Dundee together. Small's Wynd is also to be utilised as a new hub for student services and facilities. A new pavilion is to be added to the Riverside Sports Grounds.

The University of Dundee graduates more students into the professions (such as law, accountancy, medicine and dentistry) than any other Scottish university. The Guardian newspaper named the University of Dundee medical school and dental school the best in the United Kingdom in 2008 and 2009. In recent years, its molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics departments have grown to become the most influential in Britain, recently being awarded a Queen's Anniversary Prize for drug discovery and development. The university's Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design is ranked among the top three art schools in the UK.

The University of Dundee has been awarded a number of accolades: it was The Times Good University Guide's "Scottish University of the Year" in 2004/05. In 2005 The Times Higher Education Supplement rated the university as first in the UK for teaching quality. The Times also commended a number of Dundee's departments as amongst the top ten in the UK. The Scientist magazine declared the University of Dundee the best place to work in Europe in both 2004 and 2005.
