The chief executive of Aberdeen City Council has been appointed as the new principal and vice-chancellor of Dundee University.

Angela Scott will leave the council later this year after 12 years in the role.

She will take over in October from Professor Nigel Seaton, who has been interim principal at Dundee University since June 2025, amid financial failings at the institution.

An update on future leadership arrangements at Aberdeen City Council will be confirmed in due course.

Dundee University said in June that it still needed to make annual savings of about £20m, mostly from staff costs.

The university announced plans to cut 190 more jobs last month, after cutting about 675 jobs through voluntary redundancies.

It first announced a potential £30m deficit in November 2024 and “inevitable” job cuts.

Scott was born and raised in Dundee and holds a degree in commerce from Abertay University.

Her appointment was confirmed by the university’s governing body on Thursday.

She said she was “deeply honoured” to take up the role.
