Our students and graduates are our best advocates: ‘Of the Masters courses available…these are the most diverse and interesting, and the most flexible.’ ‘CAIS has an excellent programme and it was a great experience.’ 'From all the chats I had with other UK [Masters] students, I think you'd be pleased to hear that Dundee comes out extremely well (best in my humble opinion, but then I'm probably biased), both in terms of what's covered in the modules, but also in terms of the level of support and personal attention to students' individual needs/circumstances.' 'I always felt like everyone was really invested in helping students succeed. I would certainly come back to Dundee for further training needs and I often recommend the course to our volunteers!’ How to apply For further information on how to apply please see http://www.dundee.ac.uk/cais/howtoapply/ For our current fees please see http://www.dundee.ac.uk/cais/howtoapply/fees/ If you have any questions on any aspect of CAIS provision, please feel free to contact us at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
