/kloc-the population growth of Dundee in the 0 ~ (th) century made the voice of establishing higher education facilities in cities stronger and stronger. Some organizations began to promote the construction of colleges and universities, including university clubs. At the same time, the University of St Andrews and other universities in Scotland are suffering from economic difficulties. Moreover, St. Andrew's University is remote, isolated and small in scale, which is even more difficult. Therefore, it is suggested to move the school site to Dundee.
At that time, there were powerful forces who wanted to reposition the whole university or form a college alliance as it is today.
/kloc-In the early 1970s, the construction of the Taihe Railway Bridge on the Northern British Railway began, which greatly shortened the travel time between Dundee and St. Andrew, and another suggestion came out: establish Dundee and St. Andrew's University, so that both places can have their own strengths.
Some rich people in this city donated a lot of money to build a university in Dundee. University of dundee was founded as an independent university, but its prospect is to merge with the University of St Andrews.
188 1 The idea of a new school has been decided. The purpose of this new school is to "promote the education of male and female students and the research of science, literature and art". Students and faculty members do not have to take an oath containing religious content. University of dundee College was founded in that year. 1882, elected its first principal. When it started enrolling students in 1883, there were five departments: mathematics and natural philosophy, chemistry, engineering and cartography, English linguistics and literature, modern history and philosophy. The school has no right to award students degrees in the first few years. Students must take the external examination of London University.
University of dundee College tried several times to unite or merge with St Andrews University, but failed. It was not until 1890 that the two sides really began to establish close ties. 1897 University College became a part of St. Andrew's University. This move is beneficial to both sides. St Andrew's University can support the construction of medical school, and its students can choose to study in Dundee or St Andrew's University and then practice in Dundee. Finally, the courses of law, dentistry and other occupations are taught by Professor Dundee. 1904 has 208 college students, accounting for 40% of the total number of college students.
The relationship between universities and colleges is not always harmonious. 1947, the dean of the college issued a memorandum, suggesting that the college be independent. 1954 College is called Queen's College, which has gained greater autonomy and flexibility. During this period, it absorbed the past Dundee Business School.
Robbins Report on Higher Education published by 1963 discussed the expansion of British university education, which provided impetus for university of dundee to upgrade to the status of an independent university. At the same time, some other new colleges, such as university of stirling, have also been upgraded to universities. The second universities in this city have been established in Edinburgh and Glasgow, although the number of students is less than 2000. The location and scale of Queen's College and its desire to expand eventually led to the decision to separate from St Andrew's University. 1966 the management of st Andrew's university and queen's college and the request to the privy Council for the royal charter of university of dundee. The Privy Council agrees with this statement. 1 967 August1Queens College became university of dundee. The university retains some traditions of its predecessor, and it still operates according to the past management structure.
University of dundee expanded rapidly after gaining the status of independent university. The departments of medicine, dentistry, law, nursing, social work and accounting are very prosperous. A new art department was established. University of dundee is the only university in the UK that offers bachelor's degrees in English law and Scottish law to law students.
1974, universities began to recognize some degrees from Duncan Si Tong College of Art and Design in Jordan. Up to 1988, all the degrees in this college are recognized. 1994 the two universities merged, and the original college became the college student department. In recent years, Dundee Institute of Education has also allowed students to take university of dundee's degree examination. 200 1 12 university of dundee merged with Dundee Campus of Northern University to establish the Department of Education and Social Work.
From June 5, 2005 to 10, university of dundee became the first United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization center in Britain. This water law, policy and science center studies the management of world water resources for the United Nations.
In 2000, the main campus was renovated on a large scale, and a series of new buildings were built, and many old buildings were rebuilt. In 2007, the school celebrated the 40th anniversary of its independence. The main library and sports center are planned to be expanded on a large scale, and a series of new student dormitories are put into use. The School of Education and Social Work has acquired a new building, replacing the original campus in the east of the city.
Other plans that have not yet been put into practice include developing southward and establishing a series of green spaces to connect all parts of the university.
