Why Dundee?
Dundee is going through something of a cultural rebirth.
With the £80m V&A Museum set to open its doors later this year, Dundee was named by The Wall Street Journal as one of the world’s hottest destinations.

It’s an extremely friendly city, which is small enough to get from A to B by foot, but large enough to have great shopping and vibrant nightlife.
Dundee is a contemporary city full of energy and vision—it has one of the highest student population ratios in the UK—and it’s the perfect environment for a Civil Engineering student to learn their trade.
