In December 2020 Dundee University became the first university in Scotland to receive a Gold Engage Watermark in recognition got their public engagement. This award is given to universities for excellence in their support and practice of public engagement in all aspects of their work. This watermark recognises everyone at the University supporting their engagement work as well as the communities, businesses and organisations that work in partnership to transform lives.
