Course summary

Mathematics can lead to a diverse range of careers. Scientific developments are possible due to mathematical applications while mathematical models inform decisions in industry, government, and in the financial sector.

You'll learn both pure and application-driven mathematics. By the time you finish your degree, you will be able to use mathematics to solve practical problems and apply this knowledge to accountancy.

As the accounting and financial reporting world becomes more globalised we concentrate on the developing international standards adopted by the key trading blocks.

You’ll discover the power and limitations of accountancy as a tool in society and the financial techniques you’ll need to help society function.

Dundee has close links with the accountancy profession. You’ll benefit from the experience of practicing accountants and understand their contemporary challenges through their insights and guest lectures.

A number of students opt to undertake an internship with an accountancy firm during their vacation, combining their study with work experience.

You will also be able to join DUMaS (Dundee University Maths Society), an active society open to all students studying mathematics.

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

Achieving a strong set of qualifications is key to earning a place at the University. We understand grades are influenced by things outside your control, such as the impact of deprivation where you live. That’s why each year we look at each student's application in detail including circumstances outside of your control that may have impacted your potential.
