Students who choose to study at the University of Dundee will benefit from an excellent standard of teaching across all of its programs and courses.

Applicants to the University of Dundee will find that the entry requirements to a course may vary depending on the faculty and programme type selected. Applicants should therefore check the specific entry requirements page of their chosen course before applying.

All of the course content delivered at the university is in the English language, so international applicants will need to demonstrate a minimum English language proficiency as stated in their course requirements. For those whose first language is not English, an IELTS result demonstrating a minimum score of 6.5 is usually required. Equivalent test scores from other providers may be accepted in some circumstances. Students with no documented test scores are still able to apply but may be given an offer that is conditional on satisfying language requirements.

Finally, international students who need a visa to study in the UK are also required to meet the level of English required by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).
