The University of Dundee has been recognised as one of the best places to study in the UK after being named among the top 30 universities in the Guardian University Guide 2026.

The university secured 26th place out of 123 institutions, a strong showing that reflects student satisfaction, graduate prospects, and overall teaching quality.

The ranking cements Dundee’s reputation as a leading centre for higher education, both in Scotland and across the wider UK.

The Guardian University Guide is one of the most closely watched league tables in the country, with many prospective students using it as a benchmark when deciding where to study.

Dundee’s placement within the top quarter of universities highlights the city’s growing reputation as a hub for academic excellence.

A university spokesperson praised the effort of staff and students, saying the achievement would not have been possible without their hard work and commitment.

They noted that Dundee continues to perform strongly in key areas such as student experience and career opportunities after graduation.

The recognition follows a period of growing momentum for the university, which has built on its strengths in research, teaching, and community impact. With a vibrant campus in the heart of the city, the institution has also played a key role in Dundee’s wider cultural and economic transformation in recent years.

The accolade adds to a series of positive milestones for the university and will no doubt serve as a boost ahead of the next academic year. For future students, it is yet another reason to consider Dundee as an “excellent place to study.”
