What do our Business Management graduates say?

Our Business Management graduates will always be our strongest advocates, so check out what Katie MacDonald, Commercial Officer at JFD Global, had to say about her time at Abertay University.

As a small university, Abertay is able to provide students with a personal experience. I was able to get to know my lecturers well, which made it easier to raise and discuss any questions or concerns about tasks. The programme has some great members of staff, who fill the programme with opportunities and industry links.

Katie was part of our BA (Hons) Business Management class of 2018.

Why Dundee?
