What you study First year will provide the foundation for your future business knowledge and skills. Along-side traditional topics such as accounting and economics this foundation will help introduce you to the complex issues in business such as the nature of innovation, business ethics and decision making. During your second year of study, you will develop a deeper understanding of these issues and be introduced to additional aspects of business in studies of processes, projects and resources management. Year 3 starts your journey through professional competencies such as leadership and the challenges of growing a business in a globalised market. Year 3 also provides you with an opportunity to adopt one of the specialist pathways available at the start of the year. These are regularly updated but currently consisting of marketing, finance, economics and entrepreneurship. Year 4 allows you to select options that particularly interest you and will support your chosen career path. You will also have the opportunity to develop your own business research project – an excellent way to develop in-depth knowledge of businesses – and a genuine addition to your CV. Throughout your studies you will work with Dundee Business School academics that bring their expertise in business and industry straight into the class room. How you learn Dundee Business School tutors are committed to providing you with an engaging and challenging experience. You will develop graduate skills and in-depth understanding of business and management through business simulations, team work, projects, and problem solving scenarios. Lectures, tutorials and seminars will present you with the challenges of today’s business world – and with the knowledge required to understand and direct these. “The Business Studies degree has offered me so much more than I ever expected! Internships abroad, business challenges with top companies and friendly staff who take an interest in me.” Lindsay, Graduate How you are assessed A wide range of assessment methods, designed to practise the skills you need in business are used throughout all years of the programme. These include class tests and examinations, presentations, group work, problem solving exercises and case studies. If you undertake a project in the Honours year of the course, this will give you a further opportunity to develop your critical, analytical and research skills.

The programme helps prepare graduates for employment in general and specialist management areas such as accounting, finance, HRM, marketing, operations, business development or strategy, and in the private as well as the public sector. “This has been a great period of my life where I have met many life long friends and learnt many things that will be very useful in my future career.” Nicola, Year 3 student
