We first delivered our BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance degree in 1997, with 19 eager students enrolled on the course. Since then and over 25 years later, we have welcomed more than 2,300 students onto the popular degree.
As the industry, the profession and the role of accountants have evolved over the years, so has our degree. We are always thinking ahead by futureproofing our degree, our course content and our graduates. Recent additions to our degree include teaching and learning around the digital context of business, as well as sustainable business practices.
Find out more about our degree past and present in this article from Professor of Accounting and Dean of Aberdeen Business School, Elizabeth Gammie:
It is with great pride & pleasure that I have watched graduates from the course secure their first graduate jobs; study to become professionally qualified with a variety of professional accounting bodies; become professional prize winners competing against some of the brightest and best graduates in the country; and accelerate up the ranks to CFOs & CEOs of multinational organisations.
