China
These pages are specifically designed for those students coming to Dundee from China.
We are pleased to welcome students from China to Dundee and at present there are almost 300 Chinese students studying at the University. We also have strong links and partnerships with several Chinese institutions.
Why Dundee?
Come and join our student population and study for your undergraduate or postgraduate degree here in Scotland, at one of the top 200 institutions in the world. We offer a very high standard of education, and career prospects for our graduates are amongst the best in the UK.
Studying for a degree in Scotland
The Scottish education system is different from the Chinese system and it is important that you understand some of those differences before you make your decision to come and study here at Dundee.
Information in Chinese
We have a Chinese blog, written by staff in our China Office, which will give you lots of useful information about the University in your own language.
English Support Programme
We understand that moving overseas and living and studying in a country where a different language is spoken can be daunting. That's why we offer our English support programme, to help you to increase your confidence, skills and knowledge of English.
Classes are free and there is no formal assessment. Instead, our supportive tutors offer feedback on your progress throughout. Joining the programme is a great way to improve your English and to make new friends at the same time.
Scottish life and culture
While at Dundee you can immerse yourself in Scottish culture (there's more to it than just tartan and shortbread!) and explore the scenic beauty of Scotland. Mountains, lochs and glens are all within easy reach, and the rest of the UK is also highly accessible, even without a car. If that's not enough, you'll only be a short flight away from mainland Europe too.

Student Societies
We have a thriving International Student Society which has members from over 100 countries world-wide. They organise trips and tours, arrange social events, and work in conjunction with our international support service to make sure your time at Dundee runs smoothly.
You'll easily find friends to celebrate Scottish holidays and events with - such as Hogmanay (New Year), Burns Night, and St Andrew's Day.
Our International Support Office also organises events for the international community.
