Graduate attributes

At the University of Dundee, we believe your education goes beyond knowledge. That's why our programmes develop Graduate Attributes. These empower you to excel in studies or career, tackling real-world challenges, and impacting society. You'll apply core knowledge innovatively, creating solutions that matter.

Live projects with employers
