What's so good about Strategic Management at Dundee?

The MSc in Strategic Management encapsulates many important aspects of the remit of today's management accountants, management consultants and business managers – which could include (but is by no means restricted to): strategy, change management, international financial reporting, corporate governance, corporate responsibility, accounting in developing countries or Islamic accounting.

The modules you study encourage you to think analytically and critically about the ways in which modern businesses organisations create and use information, in both operational and strategic contexts.

An additional aim, specifically for overseas students, is to provide educational and cultural experiences which are unique to the UK; indeed a great deal of this uniqueness can also be attributed to Scotland and even Dundee.
