We're ranked in the top 25 universities in the UK in the Complete University Guide 2027!

Our ranking - a climb of 14 places - puts us 25th in the whole UK and also 3rd in Scotland. This reflects a range of measures we're excelling in, including graduate prospects and student satisfaction - both of which are hugely important for anyone thinking of studying with us.

Congratulations to everyone across our campuses and beyond who have helped us achieve this ranking. 💙

The creative brief: reimagining delicious Fisher & Donaldson cakes through illustration🧁

Up for the challenge: DJCAD graduate and illustrator Lauren Morsley.

The result: these adorable little characters on brand new merch!

To celebrate the partnership, the pair are running a pop-up shop at the DJCAD Degree Show tomorrow, Saturday 30 May, selling the new products and some of the Scottish bakery's famous cakes.

The pop-up shop is open 10:00-19:00 (or until stocks run out!) but Degree Show stays open until 20:00 tomorrow.

Five students have shared the inspiration behind their work at Degree Show 2026.

From violence and racism to a family diagnosis of cancer, unseen medical conditions, and sustainability, the stories behind their works are powerful.

The exhibits include an entire newsagent made from cardboard, complete with a newspaper stand, counter and till, to address violence against women.

Elsewhere, paintings portray hidden illnesses as fungi sprouting out from affected areas of the body in vivid colours.

And a large red tent with a huge pillow at its base, intended to be a space where people can take a moment to escape the everyday chaos, is also on display.

Fun fact: the aerial shots of the two Forth Bridges, also featured on the Bank of Scotland £20 notes, were captured by University alum and former staff member Shahbaz Majeed (Frame Focus Capture Photography)! 📸

Some of you might recognise his name from elsewhere - Shahbaz is also a presenter on Landward!
