Dundee University has been ranked one of the 20 best universities in the world, and the top institution in Scotland, according to a survey of international students.

Dundee came first in Scotland for overall average satisfaction in the International Student Barometer. It ranked seventh across the UK as a whole and nineteenth globally.

This year responses were gathered from students in 183 institutions in 16 countries.

This includes 54 UK universities, of which seven are Scottish.

The ISB is independently administered by the International Graduate Insight Group. It examines four main aspects of the university experience arrival, learning, living and support.

The University ranked highly in a number of key areas, particularly those related to the student experience and student support.

Professor Pete Downes, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Dundee, said: “There is nothing more important to a University than the quality of the experience enjoyed by its students so it is extremely encouraging to once again find ourselves ranked among the very best in the world.

“We put in a lot of work not just in recruiting international students to come to Dundee but in making sure they get the best possible experience when they are here. Students from overseas enrich the cultural and social life of the university and the city, bringing the world to Dundee.

“The student experience at Dundee has been consistently rated among the best in the UK and we will continue to strive to offer a transformative experience to our students from home and abroad.”
