- "The unflinching support and advice from staff members available to me as an undergraduate in History made it an extremely easy decision to return to Dundee for my postgraduate studies. Now undertaking a Masters degree, the School of Humanities continues to impress me as a very welcoming community with a wide level of support available to its students."

- "It's not always easy studying in two different departments, always having to change your mindset to suit the disciplines: especially as an International student from Austria. However, my Humanities degree will allow me to be more flexible in future work and the lecturers I have encountered are nothing but encouraging and supportive both of my thinking and my choices."
- Ines Foidl - 3rd year student of Joint Honours History & International Relations
