The University of Dundee (Scottish Gaelic: Oilthigh Dhùn Dè, IPA:[ˈɤlhɪˈɣuːnˈtʲeː]) (abbreviated as Dund. for post-nominals) is a public research university in Dundee, Scotland. It is a red brick university,[6] founded as a university college in 1881 with a donation from the prominent Baxter family of textile manufacturers. 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 gained independent university status by royal charter in 1967 while retaining much of its ancient heritage and governance structure.
