Course programme
All on-campus teaching in Edinburgh is delivered in the English language.
When you come to Edinburgh, you'll soon realise what a beautiful place it is. Here on our campus at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Business School offers a relaxed, attractive environment for students - to learn, to socialise.
There are seven core courses in the MBA programme. You then take two elective courses, chosen from a list of more than 30. Each course requires approximately 200 hours of study. Some electives are available as taught courses; others can be taken through distance learning.
In the part-time Master of Business Administration, you spend most of the year studying from your own home, then you come together with your fellow students for a number of four-day intensive seminars and two-day revision sessions.
Cohorts of executives from major corporations have attended the highly regarded part-time 'consortium' programme that forms the model for our Executive MBA programme. These include: Agilent Technologies, Dawson International, Ernst & Young (Italy), Hewlett-Packard, Lloyds TSB, Pearson Education, the NHS, Scottish Widows and Scottish Power.
After completing three courses, you are eligible for a Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration, and after six courses for a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration. The certificate and diploma awards are formal recognition of your progress; they can also be used as exit awards. Specialist awards are available at MBA level depending on your choice of courses.
