Edinburgh Business School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edinburgh Business School is the Graduate School of Business of Heriot-Watt University (est. 1821), Edinburgh, Scotland, the University being the degree-awarding body.

The School boasts one of the world's largest Master of Business Administration (MBA) programmes, offered on-campus and around the world by distance education, and assessed by rigorous subject exams. The Edinburgh Business School MBA is one of the lowest cost routes to gaining an MBA from an accredited British Business School. A Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) programme, along similar lines but also containing a major research component, has recently been introduced, as have Master of Science (MSc) degrees in a number of specialisms. The MSc in Strategic Focus consists of the taught element of the DBA. Postgraduate diplomas in various specialisms are also available, and component courses of the above credentials can be pursued individually.
