Dundee
is a lively, affordable, safe and friendly city on the banks of the
beautiful river Tay on Scotland’s east coast. Dundee is the regional
centre for Tayside – one of the most unspoilt areas of the British
isles. Dundee, Scotland’s fourth largest city, boasts two universities
and a population of about 144,000, and there’s lots of fun to be had in
our recently opened Student Centre.
With two universities in the city there are numerous bars, cafes and
restaurants that specialise in providing excellent value-for-money
leisure activities for students. The cost of living in Dundee for a
student is about €600 per month including accommodation (normally rent
is between €70 to €100 per week), food, entertainment, local travel etc.
Dundee is also a flourishing centre for life sciences research, the
computer games industry, the arts, business, education, hi-tech
manufacturing, telecommunications and tourism. As well as a revitalised
city centre and retail scene, Dundee has an excellent concert venue, a
contemporary arts centre, an Ice Arena and a choice of sporting and
leisure options. With more hours of sunshine and more green spaces than
any other Scottish city, Dundee provides an excellent quality of life
(see www.dundee.com, www.angusanddundee.co.uk, www.angusahead.com and www.perthshire.co.uk for more detail).
