Welcome message

Welcome from Professor Morris Altman, Dean

May I take this opportunity to extend to you a warm welcome to Scotland, the City of Dundee and the School of Business at the University of Dundee. We are delighted that you have decided to join us and be part of our student community. You are joining one of the UK’s leading Universities and a School of Business which is recognised as delivering a high-quality business education, informed by leading edge research and which has established an international reputation for excellence in the student experience.

I look forward to meeting you throughout your time here at the School of Business and learn about yourselves and your experiences at our School and University.

Welcome from Professor Bill Russell, Associate Dean International and Student Admissions

On behalf of all the Programme Leaders we wish you a very warm welcome to the School of Business, University and Dundee.

We aim to make your time with us at Dundee as enjoyable as possible and your learning experience rewarding and fulfilling so as to help you proceed to the next stage of your career after graduating and leave us. We do encourage you to make the most of your time at Dundee by engaging as much as is possible with all the students on these programmes, the wider student body through the many University clubs and societies, the lecturers, and Programme Directors.

Finally, please introduce yourself to your Programme Leader and lecturers as you proceed on the programme and seek their help whenever necessary. We are all extremely interested in your experience while with us and strongly want to help in everyway we can. Enjoy your time here in Dundee. Be successful. And all the very best.

Matriculation (registration)

Matriculation is where you officially register as a student with the University of Dundee, to allow you to attend classes and access facilities such as the Library and My Dundee. You'll be asked to matriculate at the start of every academic year while you are a student.

  • Before you start your course we will send an email to your student email address with a link to eVision.
  • You will be asked to complete a series of steps to confirm some information we hold about you, or enter this information if it was not supplied in your application.
  • Please also take a moment to make sure your address details are correct and up to date. Even if you are staying in temporary accommodation we will need local contact details - your address can be updated in eVision later if you move.
  • You will also need to agree to the University’s Code of Conduct and Declaration.
  • The final stage of the task will confirm you are a fully matriculated student with the University.

You will be able to check your matriculation status via the Student Profile tab.

Your student ID card

Have you uploaded your photo to eVision?

We will tell you how to collect your physical student ID card, which:

  • verifies your status as a student of the University of Dundee
  • provides access to the library and other buildings as required
  • entitles you to a range of student discounts

Once you have received it, you should carry it with you and produce it on request at any time while you are on the University campuses. You should not let anyone else use it.

Induction events

All activities will be held in person. Details regarding room allocations for breakout sessions will be posted to the 'TPG Student Information' section of My Dundee in August and confirmed on Tuesday 10 September.
