History

The University of Dundee has its roots in the earlier&nbsp;University college&nbsp;based in Dundee and the&nbsp;University of St Andrews. During the 19th century, the growing population of Dundee significantly increased demand for the establishment of an institution of higher education in the city and several organisations were established to promote this end, including a University Club in the city.

There was a significant movement with the intention of moving the entire university to Dundee (which the Royal Commission observed was now a &quot;large and increasing town&quot;) or the establishment of a college along very similar lines to the present&nbsp;United College. Finally, agreement was reached that what was needed was expansion of the sciences and professions, rather than the arts at St Andrews.
