History

The University has its roots in the earlier university college based in Dundee and the University of St Andrews. During the 19th century, demand for the establishment of an institution in Dundee was in part spurred by increasing population and was considerably helped by a £120,000 bequest from Miss Baxter, a notable lady of the city. In 1881 the ideals of the proposed Baxter College were for the establishment of an institute for 'promoting the education of persons of both sexes and the study of Science, Literature and the Fine Arts'. University College was established as an academic institution and the first principal, William Peterson, was elected in late 1882. When opened in 1883, it comprised five faculties: Maths and Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Engineering and Drawing, English Language and Literature and Modern History, and Philosophy. The University College had no power to award degrees and for some years students were prepared for external examinations of the University of London. University College can refer to several institutions: in Canada University College, University of Toronto University College of the North, The Pas, Manitoba University College of the Cariboo, Kamloops, British Columbia, merged with British Columbia Open University and renamed Thompson Rivers University Kings University College (Edmonton), Alberta in England University...

From 1890, the college began to establish links with the University of St Andrews, which was completed by 1897. University College became part of the University of St Andrews, Fife, enabling the University of St Andrews (which was in a small burgh) to support a medical school. Medical students could choose to do their preclinical studies either in Dundee or St Andrews (at the Bute Medical School) after which all students would undertake their clinical studies at Dundee. Eventually, law, dentistry and other professional subjects were taught at University College. By 1904 University College had a students role of 208, making up 40% of the role of St Andrews University generally. But the relationship between St Andrews University and University College was often stormy. In 1947, the Principal of University College, Douglas Wimberley wrote the Wimberley Memo analysing the relationship between St Andrews and Dundee (resulting in the Cooper and Tedder reports of 1952), stating that the incorporation of University College could not continue. In 1954, after a Royal Commission, University College was renamed Queen's College and the Dundee-based elements of St Andrews university gained a greater degree of independence and flexibility. However, these changes, which included the incorporation of the Dundee School of Economics into the College, still left Dundee an integral part of the University of St Andrews. The publication of Robbins Report on Higher Education in 1963, which considered the question of university education expansion throughout the country, provided impetus to establish independent university status in Dundee. Queen's College followed in the footsteps of University of Stirling, and second universities which were created in Edinburgh and Glasgow: Heriot-Watt University and the University of Strathclyde despite having less than 2,000 students.

The university has grown considerably since securing chartered status. The teaching of medicine, dentistry, law (Dundee is the only UK university where students can choose to read for an LLB in either English law or Scottish Law), nursing, social work and accountancy flourished, a new Faculty of Letters (later renamed the Faculty of Arts) was developed, and in 1974 it 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 by the university. By 1994 the two institutions merged with one another, with the college becoming a faculty of the university. In 1996 the Tayside College of Nursing and the Fife College of Health studies became part of the university as a school of Nursing and Midwifery. For several years, Dundee College of Education granted Dundee University degrees, and in December, 2001 the university merged with the Dundee campus of Northern College to create a Faculty of Education and Social Work.

Although it only became an independent university in 1967, Dundee shares an organisational structure with the ancient universities of Scotland due to its status as a former college of St Andrews and as a result is considered alongside them for a number of matters - although there is some debate as to how close this relationship can be seen to extend and to what degree the university can be placed under the same umbrella as the other four.

Reputation

The University of Dundee has a known reputation for graduating more students into the professions (such as law, accountancy and dentistry) than any other Scottish university^[2] recently being awarded a Queen’s Anniversary Prize for drug discovery and development.

The university has been awarded a number of accolades: it was The Times Good University Guide’s ‘Scottish University of the Year’ in 2004/05, and in 2005 its 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 the best place to work in Europe in both 2004 and 2005.

Future plans and construction

Construction work extending the university's Main Library. Taken from Small's Wynd, early July 2007

Some £200 million is being spent extensively renovating the central campus including the building of a number of new student halls of residence. The majority of the work is scheduled for completion by summer 2007 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Dundee's independence, however there are also larger plans to extend the central campus southwards and to landscape a large section of the centre of the campus into a 'University Green' combining a number of disparate spaces and to open up the lower end of Small's Wynd to provide further student-orientated facilities, including a café beside the relocated New College Shop and the University's book shop.

The University has, from the 1st of August 2006, been restructured from its original seven faculty arrangement into four colleges.

The present stage of building work is continuing rapidly, with the new Belmont Halls of Residence and the Heathfield Halls of Residence now completed. Work still continues on both sides of Heathfield however, with the new Heathfield School of Education & Social Work buildings, which will replace the Gardyne Road campus, and the extended sections of the Institute of Sport and Exercise still very much under construction.

There is still a good deal of building work on Small's Wynd - to the north being related to the extension to the Central Library, and to the south being related mainly to the complete renovation of the Old Medical School building.

The side of the Carnelly building on College Green facing onto Park Place (opposite the Scrymgeour building) is also being extended. In early 2007, the old Jam Factory building in the proposed new University Green was demolished and has been temporarily replaced with carparking spaces.

Governance and organisation

The University of Dundee is organised under the provisions of its Royal Charter[1], however this document reflects the basic norms of ancient university governance in Scotland and details are given in that article. The ancient university governance structure in Scotland is the organisational system imposed by the Universities (Scotland) Acts, a series of Acts of Parliament enacted between 1858 and 1966. ...

Dundee University Students' Association

Main Article: Dundee University Students' Association

The Dundee University Students' Association (DUSA), unlike many other Students' Unions in the United Kingdom, is not affiliated to the National Union of Students due mainly to cost concerns and political objections, instead being affiliated to the Coalition of Higher Education Students in Scotland (CHESS) and the National Postgraduate Committee. Membership of the body is automatic for all students of the University, although it is possible under statutes to renounce this membership at any time. The Dundee University Students' Association, as with its neighbours in the other ancient-organised universities in Scotland, is co-existent with the University's Students' Representative Council. Dundee University Students Association (DUSA) is the students association, legal representative and students union for matriculated students of the University of Dundee, Scotland. ...

The DUSA building is located in Airlie Place, in the centre of the University's Main Campus and caters as a private members' club offering bar, nightclub and refectory services for students. DUSA also provides a number of other typical students' union services such as advocacy on behalf of its membership and assistance to individual students.

Dundee University Sports Union and sports facilities

The Dundee University Sports Union is a body, like the Students' Union, of which all matriculated students of the university are automatically a member. It elects its own executive committee, although is linked with the Students' Union through the Students' Representative Council. The Sports Union is affiliated with the British University Sports Association. The British Universities Sports Association (BUSA) is the governing body for university sports in the United Kingdom. ...

As of early 2007, there are 44 clubs affiliated with the Sports' Union. There is an annual award ceremony for the sports clubs, and a Blues & Colours Ball (see University Sporting Blue) to provide social interaction between the clubs. A popular but informal event is sports clubs joining together on Wednesday night to attend the Students' Union, enabled by the university ending most classes early on a Wednesday afternoon to allow for sports participation - which is particularly appropriate in winter when the sun can set in the mid-afternoon due to Dundee's northerly location. A University Sporting Blue is an award earned by sportsmen and sportswomen at Cambridge, Oxford, and some other universities for competing at the highest level of university sport. ...

The Institute of Sport and Exercise, unlike the Sports Union, is directly controlled by the university - but works closely with the students' organisations. Its chief building is located on Old Hawkhill in the main campus, which contains the main indoor sporting facilities and the university's gym. The building is presently being extensively extended.

Outdoor facilities are mainly based in the Riverside Sporting Ground, within a reasonable walking distance and bordering the Tay, although there are others - such as tennis courts - spread throughout the main campus. There are plans to upgrade the facilities at Riverside to include a pavilion and new social areas. The ISE's swimming pool is located within the Students' Association building on Airlie Place. The River Tay looking eastwards from Perth The River Tay, in terms of flow (193 kilometres or 120 miles), is the longest river in Scotland. ...

Chaplaincy

The chapel is often used for concerts. Year 1974 (MCMLXXIV) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar) of the 1974 Gregorian calendar. ...

The university has a full time chaplain, presently the Revd Dr Fiona Douglas (since 1997) who is a minister of the Church of Scotland. There are also several part-time associate and honorary chaplains representing other faiths and denominations. The Church of Scotland (CofS; Scottish Gaelic: ), known informally by its pre-Union Scots name, The Kirk, is the national church of Scotland. ...

The University within the City

Magdalen Green, a symbol of Dundee's West End

The University is largely based within the West End of the City of Dundee, which has been subject to a large degree of studentification and an expansion of both the university and the city centre to meet. By attracting a number of non-local students from across the UK and other countries, the university has evolved into something of a separate community from Dundee itself. While town and gown relations are generally cordial, there have been suggestions that the West End (which is currently being rebranded as the 'Cultural Quarter' or 'Academic Quarter' of the city in parts close to the centre) is distancing itself from the city generally and emerging as a so-called "West End Bubble".

Town and gown is a term used to describe the two communities of a university town; town being the non-academic population and gown the university community, especially in traditional seats of learning such as Oxford and Cambridge. ...

It has been suggested that certain establishments which cater to students, particularly the Students' Union, have actively pandered to this divide in order to hold on to the student market in the city. As of the start of the 2006/07 term, the university's student newspaper (published by the Students' Association) has been renamed The Magdalen, after Magdalen Green - one of the West End's main public spaces. Meanwhile the development of the West End has established a broad artistic community, with the university co-operating with local projects such as Dundee Contemporary Arts (the DCA) and the Dundee Repertory Theatre. Dundee Contemporary Arts Dundee Contemporary Arts (or DCA as it is often called for short) is an arts complex in the city of Dundee, Scotland which houses a contemporary art gallery, a two-screen cinema, a print studio, a visual arts research facility and a café bar. ...

Traditions

Dundee students participate in a number of traditional events during the academic calendar. Towards the start of the year, a standard British Freshers' Week is organised, with a secondary one held when the University reconvenes after the Christmas vacation. Freshers Week is a week long programme of specially organised events to welcome new students their new university within the United Kingdom and other English speeking countries. ...

Traditions remaining from Dundee's days as a college of the University of St Andrews include the Gaudie Night (taking its name from the first line of the students' anthem, De Brevitate Vitae) - held early in the first semester and organised both as a Students' Union night and an event organised by the individual schools (for example by the Medical, Law and Dentistry Societies) where students are assigned academic 'parents' from the senior years. Some weeks later, a Raisin (alternatively spelled 'Raisen') weekend is held to all new students to repay their academic parents' hospitality. Generally the school society run events are more traditional in nature than the Students' Union event.

De Brevitate Vitae is a song in Latin that is a popular academic commercium song in many European countries. ...

Since 2004, the University has organised the Discovery Days series of public lectures hosted by University and visiting academics and persons of note, providing introductions into a number of major fields of work taking place at Dundee. Further details are available here.

Prior to the reorganisation of the University's departments in 2006, there were associated faculity colours. These can be seen in university scarves here, however since the reorganisation these no longer sell in campus shops.

Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design

Main Article: Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design

Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design is a school of the University, formerly independent but now fully integrated within the College of Art & Design, Architecture, Engineering and Physical Sciences. It is named after James Duncan of Jordanstone, a major benefactor to the College in 1909. Prior to its independence and incorporation into the University, it existed as part of the former Dundee Institute of Art and Technology. Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design is an integral part of the University of Dundee in Dundee, Scotland. ... Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design is an integral part of the University of Dundee in Dundee, Scotland. ...

DoJ College ranks amongst the best art schools in the United Kingdom, having been the largest of them all during its period of independent operation. It is presently situated mainly in a purpose-built facility on Perth Road, on the southern tip of the University of Dundee's main campus, which was constructed in the 1950s.

Residences

The University has a number of student residences spaced around the city. There is at present an attempt to move some of these halls of residence closer to the main campus. With the closure and re-building of West Park Hall in 2005, all of the halls are now self catered.

At present, there exists the following university residences:

• Belmont Hall (including Balfour Flats) - Based in the main campus and consisting of three main sections: Belmont Tower, a 1950s construction; the Balfour Flats, a long and low building connected to the tower, and; the new halls of residence, completed in 2006.
• Heathfield - A new (2006) hall of residence. Major construction work finished in December 2006. All students who were accepted to it for the 2006/2007 session have since moved in. It is located on Old Hawkhill, immediately across from Belmont Hall.
• Seabraes - A number of buildings containing flats, with a new hall identical in style to the new Heathfield and Belmont Halls being build at the foot of the complex. Located near to the south side of the main campus on Roseangle.
• Tay Mills - A number of flats in a converted mill (which is shared with private student accommodation) to the east of the campus and on the edge of the city centre. The flats are beginning to look rather dated.
• West Park - Located some distance to the west of the main campus, these halls were traditionally popular with medicine students due to their proximity to Ninewells Hospital. Consists of a relatively new complex known as West Park Villas, which are essentially student flats. The old hall (separate from the Villas) was largely torn-down in 2005 (leaving behind only the listed parts of the building) and the new complex (generally known as 'West Park Flats' by the University) will be available from the start of the 2007/08 term.

Some older halls, despite remaining open in the interim until building works were finished, are now out of use - the last students moving out in early 2007. These are: An apartment (or flat) is a self-contained housing unit that occupies only part of a building. ...

• Airlie Place & Springfield - A number of flats located in old terrace housing on the main campus, comprising of two streets mainly owned by the University. Both are architecturally noteworthy and are to have other functions assigned to them in due course.
• Peterson Hall - An almost Brutalist style building to be found further down Roseangle from Seabraes. This hall was traditionally a non-smoking hall of residence, and is now ear-marked for private development.
• Wimberly Houses - The furthest university residences from the main campus, Wimberly - also the closest to Ninewells Hospital in the far west of the city. The residences themselves were a complex of buildings, each comprising a 'house' which served as an independent flat for a number of students. Largely considered the least desirable university residence (they were also the cheapest).This, and its white and run down appearance, led to it acquiring a number of nicknames, notably 'Siberia'. They were favoured by some medical students for their proximity to Ninewells Hospital. The halls are currently for sale

Brutalism is an architectural style that spawned from the Modernist architectural movement and which flourished from the 1950s to the 1970s. ...
