Main article: Rector of the University of Dundee

The Rector of the University is an official elected by the matriculated students of the university for a three year term.[16] In common with other university Rectors in Scotland, the position is largely ceremonial, although it does involve the representation of students on the University Court. The Rectorship at Dundee is unique in not having the power to chair the University Court, that duty instead falling to a lay member.[17]

In 2007 Craig Murray, a graduate of Dundee, former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan and twice President of Dundee University Students' Association was elected and installed. In February 2010, Brian Cox CBE, an actor, was elected as the next Rector of the university. He has yet to undergo his official installation.

The Rector also appoints an Assessor who can carry out the Rector's functions on his behalf when he is absent.

Previous Rectors since the university's independence have included Sir Clement Freud and Stephen Fry, each serving two terms, and Sir Peter Ustinov, Tony Slattery and Fred MacAulay, each serving one.
