Last year in this column I was able to tell you that the University had just been named among the three best places to work in the world outside the USA in a poll of international scientists. This year the same poll, carried out by The Scientist magazine, ranked Dundee the best place to work in Europe. This news came shortly after the Sunday Times named the University of Dundee “Scottish University of the Year” in their popular University Guide. Meanwhile the warmth and affection which you, our alumni, hold for the University has been very clearly demonstrated in your spectacular response to the University’s first telephone fundraising appeal. When plans for this campaign were first mooted we had no idea what to expect. I have been, quite genuinely, bowled over by your generosity. On the strength of the first campaign, we are confident that the Annual Fund will meet its three year target of £400,000. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all and to personally assure you that your pledges will be used to provide for our students, now and in the future the best possible environment in which to develop their potential. As part of that plan the campus is currently Nico Bohmert of the German alumni group visiting undergoing a major redevelopment, with cutting edge facilities Dianne Pemberton-Pigott at the University’s Alumni Relations office. for learning, student living and research, putting us in a leading position to compete internationally for the best students and This has been a year of firsts for the University’s Alumni Relations. the highest calibre staff.

    Celebrating Years of Music A Serenade to Music “We are the music-makers And we are the dreamers of dreams…” (Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy, Ode) The story of BBC Northern Ireland’s involvement in nurturing and broadcasting local musical talent is still in the making. This exhibition provides a revealing glimpse of work in progress at the BBC’s Community Archive in documenting the programmes and personalities who have brought music in all its different forms to life, and looks at how today’s broadcasters are responding to the musical styles and opportunities of a new century. It celebrates BBC NI’s role in supporting musical diversity and creative excellence and reflects changes in fashion, technology and society across 80 years of local broadcasting. “ Let us celebrate the way we were and the way we live now. Much has been achieved since 2BE’s first faltering (and scarcely heard) musical broadcast in 1924.

Dux of Madras College, St Andrews, he was awarded a Harkness Scholarship for study at the University of St Andrews, where he graduated with a Master of Arts degree (1st Class Honours and the Duncan Medal) in 1963. Professor Brown was then awarded a Carnegie Scholarship, which enabled him to undertake postgraduate study at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne where he was awarded a PhD in 1966.

I hope that you find this useful and that you translate your interest in this post into a formal application. NHS Tayside has a strong track record in delivering high-quality, safe and effective care for all our patients.
