Our online MBA, MSc, DBA or PhD qualifications are designed to inspire and develop a global community whilst supporting students to succeed on their own terms. Regardless of location or lifestyle commitments, students are at the heart of the learning experience and benefit from programmes that provide practical knowledge to be put into action.

At Edinburgh Business School, we give you the chance to study and pursue your dreams on your own terms.

We want to empower you - highly motivated professionals - with the courage to think strategically and act decisively in the face of complexity and uncertainty, through flexible learning that integrates with you, your family and work life.

“It is normal in the UK military to move location and position every 2-3 years. At the start of my studying I was not sure where geographically in the UK I might be living or working and therefore the flexibility Edinburgh Business School offered was incredibly important to me.” Shamus MacLean, Deputy Director Base Executive Operations, Royal Navy.

Define your own study rhythm.

• Our flagship MBA programme is curated, tailored and managed by you. Complete the seven core courses of the programme and choose another two elective courses that are appropriate to you, your work, and your career aspirations.
• Our MScs are designed to impart specialist knowledge. Study for an MSc in Financial Management and gain a strong understanding of the foundations and dynamic nature of finance and investment behaviour. Or develop greater understanding of the role marketing can play in the running of successful businesses and organisations with our MSc in Marketing. 
• Alternatively, take your career to the next level with our research-based DBA or PhD. Studied online, the programmes give you the research methods you need to define, implement and evaluate potential solutions for very real business issues.
