Teaching and assessment

for Accountancy BAcc (Hons)

Teaching

Our degrees are taught using a variety of methods including:

lectures
seminars
workshops
tutorials
projects

We also have an annual series of industry lectures which you are encouraged to attend.

Assessment

Assessment is by a mixture of written coursework, projects based on group assignments, computer tests and written exams.

The weightings allocated to coursework and the final exam vary from module to module. Typically 80% is allocated to the final exam but this is less in some modules and higher in others.

The University of Dundee School of Business is committed to providing students with an exciting, meaningful, and interactive learning experience taking advantage of traditional and leading-edge learning technologies. This hybrid approach to education delivery, which includes both in-person and online material, has been adopted globally by top universities.

Our approach is flexible, attempting to meet the needs of all our domestic and international students. Moreover, our students are assured of an on-campus learning experience for all modules supplemented and complemented by state-of-the-art Cloud technology. A major advantage of ‘hybrid teaching’ is that it allows popular classes to remain small so that meaningful discussion and engagement between students and academics can occur.

Modules

Accountancy with Languages BAcc Hons
You can choose to study a language (French or Spanish) at Level 3 and 4 if you already have reasonable skills in the language. As you need to take language modules instead of accounting modules this may affect the accreditation of your final degree. Your Adviser of Studies will be able to discuss your options with you.
