Dundee soars to UK top 25 ranking in Complete University Guide, 3rd in Scotland

The University of Dundee is ranked 25th in the UK in the latest rankings published today (Tuesday 2 June) from the Complete University Guide, a rise of 14 places.

Dundee is one of the fastest risers in this year’s table, with the biggest leap of any institution in the top 30, and also becomes the third-ranked Scottish university.

The Complete University Guide is one of the main set of rankings for UK universities. Each year, it publishes its UK university and subject league tables to help prospective students make informed choices about their future, including those weighing up late decisions or exploring Clearing options.

Professor Nigel Seaton, Interim Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Dundee, said, “This is a very welcome boost for everyone at the University and a testament to the great work of our staff and students.”

Professor Amanda Chetwynd, Chair of the Complete University Guide Advisory Board, said, “Our methodology draws on a range of trusted, independent measures that reflect what students care most about - teaching quality, student satisfaction and graduate outcomes.

 "This year’s rankings show that the opportunity to attend a prestigious university has never been more accessible. The movement we are seeing in entry requirements across the top 40 is a broadening of access and that is something to welcome. Students who might previously have ruled out certain universities should look again. The right university is not always the one with the highest entry requirements; it is the one that is the best fit for you, your ambitions and your future."
