邓迪大学：我的心赞美上主的伟大
英文导读
The University of Dundee (informally Dundee University， or simply Dundee)， is a university based in the city and Royal burgh of Dundee on the east coast of the central Lowlands of Scotland.Founded in 1881 the institution was， for most of its early existence， a constituent college of the University of St. Andrews alongside United College and St. Mary"s College located in the town of St. Andrews itself. Following significant expansion， the University of Dundee became an independent body in 1967 whilst retaining much of its ancient heritage and governance structure. Since its independence， the university has grown to become an internationally recognised centre for research. The main campus of the university is located in Dundee"s West End， which also contains the university"s affiliated Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design and the Dundee Dental Hospital and School. Nobel Prize winning poet and honorary graduate Seamus Heaney has described the University of Dundee as “having its head in the clouds and its feet firmly on the ground.” The ability to be both aspirational and down-to-earth， to blend ground-breaking intellectual achievement with practical applications， has given the University its distinctive character. There have been many changes since the University became an independent institution in 1967 following a 70 year relationship with the University of St. Andrews but the fundamental aim remains.
System：The university is organised into four colleges， each containing a number of schools： The College of Art， Science & Engineering (the School of Computing； Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design； the School of Engineering， Physics & Mathematics)， The College of Arts & Social Sciences(the School of Business； the School of Education， Social Work and Community Education； School of the Environment； the School of Humanities； the School of Law； Graduate School of Natural Resources Law， Policy and Management， containing the Dundee UNESCO Centre for Water Law， Policy and Science， the Centre for Energy， Petroleum & Mineral Law & Policy， and the Enterprise Gym； the School of Psychology)， The College of Life Sciences (the School of Life Sciences Learning and Teaching； the School of Life Sciences Research)， The College of Medicine， Dentistry & Nursing (the School of Dentistry； Graduate School； the School of Medicine； Nursing & Midwifery).
City show： Dundee， officially the City of Dundee， is a city and council area in the United Kingdom.
