Morgan Robb is currently studying for her BAcc Accountancy degree, she says
"studying a BAcc degree is not all about number crunching - while the financial and management accounting modules are core to your degree, learning about the world of business, economics and law are equally important and for the most part enjoyable."

What's so good about Accountancy at Dundee?

The BAcc can be studied over three years as a non-honours degree, or can be taken as an Honours degree over four years. You have until the start of the third year to decide which type of degree is best for you. The 'Big Four' accounting firms usually require their employees to have an Honours degree that is classified at 2:1 or above, and therefore most of our students take the Honours option, choosing a variety of optional modules which allow particular specialisms to be followed. Advanced Entry to Level 2 of the Honours degree is also available to those with suitable grades in required subjects.

Guest lectures from industry practitioners

Guest lectures are often given by experienced accounting and finance practitioners and outside visits are also organised to help you appreciate the 'real world' application of the discipline. Depending on your module choices you might visit financial institutions in Edinburgh and London. Accountancy students may also apply to spend a year of their degree in Canada or North America on the Transatlantic Exchange scheme or a semester in Australia or Hong Kong.

Professional accreditation

The Bachelor of Accountancy (BAcc) is 'fully accredited' and recognised for exemption purposes by the following leading accountancy bodies:

  • ACCA - The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (currently under review)
  • CIMA - The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants
  • CIPFA - The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy
  • ICAI - The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland
  • ICAS - The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland
  • AIA - The Association of International Accountants

A 'qualified accountant' is a member of one of these six professional bodies. This will mean that at the end of your studies you are already exempt from some of the examinations which these organisations require entrants to take.

We liaise with employers to ensure that the BAcc continues to meet the needs of the graduate employment market.

Accounting & Finance Student Society

All new students are encouraged to join our Accounting & Finance Student Society.

The Society arranges a number of social and other events including a welcome party for new students, an Annual Ball and careers presentations from visiting firms.
