Accountancy

As the accounting and financial reporting world becomes more globalised, we concentrate on the developing international standards adopted by the key trading blocks. Our technical content focuses on the international reporting practices adopted by every company listed on a stock exchange within the EU and many companies further afield.

We encourage you to recognise how financial information makes a contribution to society, and to consider where it might cause or inflate societal problems.

We have close links with the accountancy profession, on a local, national and international level and across organisations of all sizes. You’ll benefit from the experience of practicing accountants, many of which are graduates of our degree, and understand their contemporary challenges through their insights and guest lectures.

Our Accountancy degree offers one of the most comprehensive and extensive list of accreditations in the UK.

Many students do an internship with an accountancy firm during their holidays, combining their study with work experience. Extensive opportunity exists for you to interact directly with employers.

At the University of Dundee, you'll study in a welcoming city on Scotland's east coast, known for its history, culture, and vibrant mix of cafes, restaurants, shops, and bars.

Dundee was named the best place to live in Scotland for under 35s (The Times 2026). Many students find living costs lower than in other UK cities, while excellent road and rail links make travelling easy.

Since 1881, the University has been transforming lives and is recognised globally for strengths in life sciences, medicine, dentistry and engineering.

Student Services provide support throughout your studies, from academic guidance to wellbeing advice.
