Location of The University of Edinburgh
The Full-time MBA is an intensive programme that immerses students in a world of academic thought and current business practice. Studied over 12 months, this is a taught programme delivered by our experienced internal and visiting faculty and complemented by regular guest speakers. It is ideal for those who are looking to change direction in their career or to add significantly to their knowledge and business expertise.
Our MBA programmes are consistently ranked by The Economist and The Financial Times, and the School is accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).
The programme is designed upon the two, interlinked principles of collaboration and developing the individual. It is also underpinned by the recognition that people undertake the MBA to advance their careers. Throughout the programme students will participate in an extensive personal development programme focusing on individual and team skills, as well as key competencies such as persuasive communication and problem solving. We have recently introduced a week-long leadership module taking place in the Scottish Highlands.
In the first semester, students study ten courses in major disciplines; this is the foundation upon which the whole MBA is built. In Semester 2, students take a course in corporate strategy, followed by a one-week integrative project as well as specialist option courses. From April to June, students undertake a week-long leadership course, more specialist options and a consultancy project with locally-based companies. The conclusion of the MBA, the MBA Capstone project, brings all of the year's learning together in a piece of work unique to each student.

Students will develop an integrated understanding of the essential aspects of business and leadership skills as well as the development of specialist knowledge through the choice of option courses and MBA Capstone project research. A semester 2 specialisation route is available for students looking for a more focused pathway through their programmes. Specialisations include finance, carbon management, entrepreneurship, strategy and family business. The personal development programme ensures that, alongside the in-depth business learning, students will also develop the personal skills and characteristics required by senior managers in the modern business setting.
How You Will Be Taught The programme adopts a multitude of teaching and learning approaches. Lectures and case studies are supplemented with in-class discussions, presentations and project work. In addition, students will participate in skills workshops, outdoor development activities, language classes and a consultancy project with locally based companies.
The School works with the corporate sector in many ways, including the guest speaker series which brings some of the UK's top business leaders to the School to share their insights. Students will absorb the views and working practices of senior industry leaders who are motivated by the opportunity to engage with the next generation of business leaders.
