Being at the heart of Scotland’s road and rail network
puts spectacular scenery, skiing, championship golf,
mountain climbing, and sailing within easy reach. The
major cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow are a short trip
away. Scotland’s four main international airports all
operate both national airlines such as British Airways,
and low cost airlines. This makes it easy to get to all
the major centres of the UK and Europe.
Dundee is a hive for students both home andaway, full of life, excitement and an abundanceof eccentric bars and cosy snugs that create theperfect atmosphere for enjoying your favourite
food and drink. Comforting pub classics, healthy
treats, international cuisine, and days spent out withfriends will fuel your body and mind. Finding thelifestyle you want is easy when you live in such an
inspiring, friendly city.
Of course Dundee has all of the larger chain shops
and restaurants, but the thing that makes thecity really special is the love and energy that has
been put into local businesses. Contemporary
restaurants, independent eateries, bars and social
spaces surround the University. They are easy tofind but hard to leave.

there are so many amazing places to visit.

Low cost of living

High street to boutique

A Citylets Rental Report in 2021 found that
Dundee’s average cost of private
rent is by far the cheapest of Scotland’s
major cities. Living in Dundee will save you
money: renting here is 44% less expensive
than Edinburgh and 25% less than the
Scottish national average. (Citylets Rental Report

Dundee has plenty of shops to keep you
stocked up. The Overgate and Wellgate
are the city’s two big shopping centres,with many big-name shops such as H&M,
Next, and Primark. However, we aren’t shortof small, quirky independent retailers:boutiques like Spex Pistols and Isolated
Heroes have dressed celebrity musicianssuch as Paloma Faith, Miley Cyrus and Lily
Allen.

Food and drink
Dundee’s food scene is very international,

the world. As well as top Indian, Italianand Chinese food, we have Japanese,
Mexican and many more. From larger

somewhere close to grab a bite to eat.

Green spaces
There are plenty of parks where you canmake the most of the seasons and enjoy
the colours. Magdalen Green and Balgay
Park are a couple of the favourites, popularwith BBQers and joggers alike.

Chic bars, friendly pubs
Dundee offers a fantastic night out, withlots of late-night bars and clubs right on
the doorstep of the city campus. Duke’s
Corner is a student favourite for the growing
live music scene, while the Phoenix, theSpeedwell and the George Orwell are someof the West End’s cosiest traditional pubs
for a great selection of drinks and a friendly
welcome. A few minutes away in the vibrantcity centre, you’ll also find famous Scottish
craft beers at BrewDog and fine wines at
The Wine Press – another great addition to
the newly buzzing waterfront area.

A creative centre
Dundee is recognised as an innovative
city, and the opening in 2018 of the V&A
in Dundee puts the city at the centre of
Scotland’s creative ecosystem. Designedby the famous Japanese architect Kengo
Kuma, the museum provides a new centre
of design for Scotland and the world.
