Michael Masterson was appointed lecturer in political science at the University of Dundee (then Queen's College, Dundee) in 1965. He was a well-respected member of the politics department and became involved in issues surrounding the welfare of international students and student exchanges. In recognition of this he became the University's first co-ordinator of overseas student affairs. In 1995 this department was merged with schools liaison to form a new student recruitment service of which Masterson was made director. He retired from the university in 1998. He was also involved in local and community government in Dundee and in the 1970s carried out research on the early development of Community Councils in Scotland for the Scottish Office.
