Dumfries Campus
Located just two miles from the centre of Dumfries, the campus has a beautiful setting in 80 acres of parkland and woods and overlooks the River Nith and the Galloway Hills. Scotland’s newest university campus has received major investment resulting in a new library, ICT suite and new lecture rooms.
Students on the campus have easy access to all facilities and the staff: student ratio means class sizes are small. The campus is easily accessible by foot, car or bus from the town centre. With a population of 38,000, Dumfries is big enough to enjoy city-like facilities, yet remains small enough to retain a friendly ambience.
