ABOUT UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE
Stafford Global – University of Dundee Partnership
The University of Dundee is ranked 3rd in the UK for teaching quality and is one of the top 150 universities in the world for Education (QS Ranking). It has a Five Star excellence rating and is one of the top 200 universities worldwide for excellent graduate employment prospects.
In 1881 University College, Dundee, Scotland was founded as an independent academic institution for ‘promoting the education of persons of both sexes and the study of Science, Literature and the Fine Arts’. Soon after, in 1897 University College became part of the University of St Andrews. In 1966, the University Court and the Council of Queen’s College submitted a joint petition to the Privy Council seeking the grant of a Royal Charter to establish the University of Dundee. This petition was approved and on the first of August 1967.
The University of Dundee has seen many changes since it became an independent institution in 1967, but the fundamental aim remains. That is to: “transform lives locally and globally through the creation, sharing and application of knowledge.”
Today, the University reflects this aim in many ways:
- excelling in teaching and research;
- contributing to the social, economic and cultural life of Scotland and the wider world;
- shaping the future by solving important real-world problems.

I have had an amazing experience with Stafford Global twice. Aprilyn has helped me a lot through my PGCE and now with my Master of Education (MEd). She is a very helpful member of Stafford Global community and is always ready to help, answer all our questions and guide us through the admission process and beyond. I would happily and strongly recommend Stafford Global to all my friends and colleagues. Thank you.
