     DICE was founded to be different:

          to stand out from traditionally-minded academic institutions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

       Twenty years on and our practical, inter-disciplinary approach              still sets us apart.

The DICE Mission

Our history

The DICE experience

One of the key features that makes DICE unique is that we are driven by a mission. DICE was founded in 1989 by Prof Ian Swingland, OBE, and was named in honour of the great conservationist Gerald Durrell. It is the diversity of our student body combined with the setting that makes the DICE experience so good.
