The University of Dundee, according to Nobel Prize-winning poet and honorary alumnus Seamus Heaney, "has its head in the skies and its feet firmly on the ground." The University's unique personality is a result of our capacity to be both aspirational and grounded. We are able to combine cutting-edge scholarship with useful applications. Since the University became an independent institution in 1967, there have been a lot of developments. Our primary goal has not changed despite our separation from the University of St. Andrews after a 70-year partnership. This objective is reiterated in our Transformation Vision. We still practice it today as we have done in the past. To "change lives locally and worldwide through the development, sharing, and use of knowledge," in other words. Today, we accomplish this goal in a variety of ways, such as by being world-class in our teaching and research, making a positive impact on Scotland's social, economic, and cultural life, and influencing the future by finding solutions to pressing contemporary issues. We want to be the top university in Scotland. We aspire to excel at the things we choose to pursue and gain recognition on a global scale for the caliber of our graduates and the significance of our research. We will concentrate our efforts on three areas since we want to overcome significant difficulties in these areas: using resources globally in a sustainable manner Designing for innovation enhancing wellbeing and health We will collaborate across disciplinary lines, offering knowledge and unique perspectives. This will allow us to address problems in novel, difficult, and useful ways. We give our faculty and students the tools they need to make a genuine difference in the world, contribute to the solution of global issues, and improve lives.
