“Education and travel transforms lives and is central to our vision at the University of Dundee, which this year has been ranked one of the top ten universities in the UK for teaching and learning. We are delighted to bring young Americans to Dundee and to Scotland for the first Fulbright-Scotland Summer Institute to experience our international excellence and the richness and variety of our country and culture.”

Professor Sir Jim McDonaldPrincipal and Vice-Chancellor, University of Strathclyde

“Strathclyde endorses the Fulbright objectives to promote leadership, learning and empathy between nations through educational exchange. The partnership between Dundee and Strathclyde, that has successfully attracted this programme, demonstrates the value of global outreach central to Scotland’s HE reputation. We expect the high-calibre US students visiting under the Fulbright initiative to have an academically stimulating and enjoyable experience that will enhance their careers.”

Institutional profiles

University of Dundee The University of Dundee traces its origins to 1881 when it was founded as the independent University

College, Dundee. Its main benefactor, Mary Ann Baxter of Balgavies, stipulated that both sexes would be

educated equally, which ensured that Dundee would be a pioneer in the education of women. Although the

old College later became part of the University of St Andrews it maintained a strong sense of identity,

eventually becoming the University of Dundee in 1967. Among those associated with the institution are the

biologist D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson, the ‘Father of Town Planning’ Patrick Geddes, the ‘inventor of radar’

Robert Watson-Watt and more recently Walter Spear and Peter Le Comber, whose work on amorphous

semiconductors paved the way for a number of current technologies, including the flat liquid crystal panel

display screen. More recent world leading staff include Sir Philip Cohen, who in 2012 was named among the

100 most important people in British science by the Times newspaper, keyhole surgery pioneer, Professor Sir

Alfred Cuschieri and Professor Sir David Lane, discoverer of p53 (the protein controlling cell growth). Professor

Sue Black is a leading forensic anthropologist who in February 2013 was named one of the 100 most powerful

women in the United Kingdom by Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4.

University of Strathclyde

The University of Strathclyde is a leading international technological university with a student population of

more than 16,000 drawn from more than 100 countries.

Our groundbreaking research, informed teaching and strong business links make us a leader in a broad range

of subject areas including Engineering, Pharmacy, Chemistry, Business, Law, Politics and Education.

These qualities contributed to us being named UK University of the Year in the prestigious Times Higher

Education Awards for 2012. The judges in the awards described us as a “bold, imaginative and innovative

institution” and we are continually working to make Strathclyde the best place it can be for all our students

and staff.

With a clear focus on industrial and business needs, the University’s Technology and Innovation Centre brings

together our academics to work in collaboration with industry partners. A new landmark facility will house

specialist, shared flexible laboratory facilities where world-class researchers respond to real challenges.

The centre works in parallel with our global research centres, including the development of power networks

and smart grid technologies; advanced manufacturing for the aerospace, energy, marine and automotive

industries; and the development of more effective methods of manufacturing pharmaceuticals.

The University of Strathclyde also has a long and fruitful history of supporting business start-ups. Around 40

currently trading companies began life as spinout businesses set up by Strathclyde.
