University of Dundee School of Medicine

In 1974 the medical school moved to a large teaching facility based at Ninewells Hospital in the west of Dundee.

[4] The buildings were designed by Dundee-based architect John Murray Robertson before his death in 1901 and were completed by James Findlay and David Smith from 1903 to 1904.

[1] By 1949, the Dundee Royal Infirmary and the Maryfield Hospital were both being used for teaching medical students, but it was already apparent that to expand capacity it would be more economical to build a new facility away from the centre of the city.

As well as undergraduate and postgraduate medical courses, the School of Medicine also incorporates skills centres and research units.

The museum's collections include artefacts from medical teaching in Dundee as well as hospitals and general practice across Tayside.

[22] Research at the School of Medicine is the means by which the AHSP's aim to improve clinical care and the education of health professionals is intended to be achieved.

[28][29] According to the major 2020 national rankings, medicine at Dundee has the highest academic entry requirements in the UK, at 239 UCAS points.
