Dundee University Students’ Association (DUSA) is an independent charity representing over 13,000 students at the University of Dundee. Every student is automatically a member, and everything we do is shaped by their voice.
We’re here to help students thrive – academically, socially, and personally. From societies and volunteering to events, retail and hospitality, DUSA creates welcoming spaces where students can connect, belong, and make the most of university life.
We are also the independent voice of students. Through elected officers and representatives, we ensure students influence decisions that affect their education and experience. Our Advice & Support team provides free, confidential advice to students across a wide range of issues.
Based at the heart of campus in Dundee – a friendly, creative, and affordable city – DUSA operates seven days a week, delivering services, opportunities and support that put students first.
