Kickstart a career in Business and Management
Here's how we prepare the business leaders of tomorrow.
Our degrees start from an introductory level and develop fundamental knowledge in essential business theory and practice. Then we introduce specialist courses to provide the skills our students need to hit the ground running as soon as they graduate.
We bring subjects to life through a dynamic mix of lectures, tutorials, interactive workshops, guest speakers, and case study-informed learning.
Our focus on applied learning develops teamwork, problem solving and communication skills whilst improving professional confidence and competency. Working alongside course mates with diverse backgrounds, ideas and expertise helps our students improve decision-making, people management and leadership skills.
Learning from experts
From strategy, leadership and entrepreneurship to project management and human resource management, each specialist area from Business and Management is taught by academic faculty who have expertise and professional experience to share.
Students will also have opportunities to learn directly from industry leaders as Edinburgh Business School regularly invites senior business practitioners to deliver guest lectures and seminars for our students.
An Industry Advisory Board of business leaders help us identify current skill gaps in the industry and ensure our curriculum matches up to the needs of employers now and in the future.
