If you have any questions about Dundee, I'd be happy to answer them - just quote or tag me! I am a third year Politics student at the uni, and also the Support Team member for this forum. You can also find a general FAQ thread here.

Connect Dundee University. See which other TSRians are applying for your course! It's also a handy page for stalking and seeing what grades Dundee have asked for in previous years. :h:

I received my offer 9 days after sending away my application in December 2014.

*That moment when you realise you did UCAS 2 years ago*

IR though? Cool! I did that in 2nd year. And I really am doing it this year too, tbh

That's such a fast offer, awesome! They sent me an email saying they'd start looking at apps & sending me more stuff after the 18th of october, hoping for a response before too long(:

How do you like IR?

Yeah, it was amazingly fast.

IR is ok. My degree is Politics but a lot of the modules for Dundee are IR focused.

That really depends. Interviews were still happening in March 2016 for 2016 entry!

I won't say anything about my grades here, they're so different from the UK ones lol. But I'm a bit afraid if they'll be good enough! I've heard some stories from other Finnish applicants that applied there, and the offers they've got have been pretty high... But we'll see, I sent my application last week :smile:

A2 (predictions or achieved)/ Equivalents: A*AB and A in AS Further Maths.

Just wanted to ask if Dundee sends you an email confirming that they received your application. My school sent mine 3 days ago and recieved confirmations from three of my choices but not from them. I know that some unis don't send one but I'm not sure if Dundee does.
