Studying for a degree in Scotland

It is important that you understand a little about the Scottish education system before you make your decision to come and study here at Dundee:

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 advice service to make sure your time at Dundee runs smoothly.

Recently, they organised a showing of the historic semi-final match of the Cricket World Cup 2011 (India vs Pakistan) at the Union.

Other societies that may be of particular interest to students from India are the Indian Society (part of the Asiana Student Network) and the Bhangra Society.

Life in Dundee for Indian students

Dundee is a multicultural city and has a significant Indian population. In fact, India and Dundee have a long history, with links going back hundreds of years. When you come to Dundee, you might be interested in visiting one of our local museums, the Verdant Works, which explores the history between the two places.

You'll also find it very easy to buy familiar foods in Dundee. Local supermarkets stock a wide range of food from around the world, and the city also has some international grocers. For those of you who require halal foods, Dundee has plenty of halal restaurants, as well as halal grocers.
