Program Description
Join Abertay's professionally accredited Accounting and Finance degree and learn how to solve problems, make decisions and be empowered to manage, lead and grow all types of organisations. Get set to think in different ways, unleash the creativity and explore the financial core of the business world. This degree is designed to give students the knowledge and hands-on experience of what it’s like to work in accounting and finance. It prepares them to hit the ground running thanks to live business projects and simulations set by companies such as Sky, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Children 1st.
Abertay's Accounting and Finance degree is a professionally accredited programme, which means there’s a strong reliance on exams as assessment. However, students will be well-prepared for these with lots of examples practiced in class in advance. They also use other assessment techniques, ranging from presentations and online discussions to finding solutions to industry posed questions. Additionally, students will take part in team working to help develop their collaborative skills, as well as presentations, written assessments and online discussions to enhance their communication skills.
Lectures, reading and interaction with industry will boost students' knowledge, while their research skills and independence as learners will peak during the honours project module in Year 4. The student's confidence to go out into the world of work will be affirmed through activities such as Innovation for Global Growth week – a major annual event at Dundee Business School.
This is a growing industry which means excellent career prospects and earning potential for an ambitious and motivated Accounting and Finance graduate.
