Psychology is a small, friendly department which offers focused teaching and research training. This means that we get to know our students and can provide them with the individual support they need throughout their studies.
Computing at the University of Dundee is truly distinctive. Our students have a unique opportunity to collaborate with a broad range of user groups who meet in the purpose-built Queen Mother Building to ensure that technological systems are developed to meet the needs and aspirations of a wide variety of people, including those with severe speech and physical impairments and adults with acquired aphasia.
Our MSc students have their own dedicated social and study areas within the Psychology and Computing buildings. There is an active student Psychology society, which organizes social events. It is easy to meet students from other disciplines (e.g. architecture, engineering, business, geography, law, and politics). This will allow you to situate your learning in a broader context, as well as to make contact with other students who have come from across the world to study in Dundee.
