DJCAD students are regular standouts at the yearly London New Designers exhibition, and take home more awards than those from any other university in the UK. For four years in a row they have returned with the top jewellery prize for young jewellery designers.

The Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum, billed as the world's greatest museum of art and design, now has advanced plans for the V&A at Dundee, which will become Scotland’s leading centre for design. This new development will provide lots of great collaborative opportunities for students.

DJCAD students enjoy life on what has been called the ‘friendliest campus in Scotland’. The university maintains a strong support network for students that extends across academics, careers, financial issues, and health.
