Dundee ranks in top 20 of UK universities
The University of Dundee has been ranked in the top 20 of UK universities in the 2027 edition of The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide.
Published on 18 September 2026
Dundee ranks 20th - a rise of three places - in the guide, which measures the performance of 130 UK universities.
It follows from further rankings successes this year after Dundee was placed 12th in the Daily Mail University Guide, 21st in The Guardian University Guide, and 25th in the Complete University Guide.
Professor Nigel Seaton, Interim Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Dundee said, “This latest ranking from The Times and Sunday Times follows other league tables in showing that Dundee has immense strengths in our teaching and the student experience.
“This is all the more striking as it comes in what has been a very challenging time for the University. That we have not only maintained but improved our national ranking is testament to the continued hard work and great talent of our students and staff.”
