What do our Accounting and Finance graduates say?
Our Accounting and Finance graduates will always be our strongest advocates, so check out what Oliver Rymer, an Associate Director - Sponsors & Structured Finance at Lloyds Banking Group, had to say about his time at Abertay University.
I wanted to learn Finance and Business, and wanted to be able to apply it rather than focus purely on theory. Abertay University, in my opinion, is the best place to do that.
Oliver was part of our BA (Hons) Finance and Business class of 2015.
Why Dundee?
Dundee is going through something of a cultural rebirth.
It was named by The Wall Street Journal as one of the world’s hottest destinations, helped greatly by the £80m V&A Dundee, the stunning design museum, which opened its doors in 2018.
Dundee is a little pot of gold at the end of the A92 - The Guardian
It’s an extremely friendly city, which is small enough to get from A to B by foot, but large enough to have great shopping and vibrant nightlife.
Dundee is a contemporary city full of energy and vision—it has one of the highest student population ratios in the UK—and it’s the perfect environment for an Accounting and Finance student to learn their trade.
