Queen's College, Dundee being the University of St Andrews at Dundee.

Queen's College, Dundee was formed under the terms of the University of St Andrews Act, 1953. It was founded as a result of the investigation by a Royal Commission of 1951 under Lord Tedder into the constitutional relationship between the University of St Andrews and University College, Dundee. It was to include the different constituent elements of the University of St Andrews in Dundee: University College, the Medical School, the Dental School and Dundee School of Economics. In 1967 Queen's College Dundee became the University of Dundee by Royal Charter. The college continued to operate from the Perth Road to Hawkhill area of Dundee which had been the location of University College, Dundee.

Principal T. Malcolm Knox of St Andrews and David Rutherford Dow (1954-58) and Arthur Matheson (1958-66), successive Masters of Queen's College worked closely together to implement the new arrangements under the Tedder plan. It was suggested that St Andrews should concentrate on studies of a more 'academic' character (traditional Arts, Theology and Pure Science), whereas Dundee should specialise in more 'technical' or 'professional' subjects such as Social Sciences, Education, Law and Applied Science as well as Medicine. University of St Andrews degrees continued to be awarded to students at Queen's College, Dundee until the formation of the University of Dundee in 1967.
