Master of Business Administration Studies

The only certainty in today’s commercial and political climate is change.  It is, therefore, imperative that we are not only capable to assimilate the challenges that are presented but also that we capitalise on them.  We, at ESB, looked long and hard to find a rigorous, challenging and above all career orientated programme that sets new standards in postgraduate business education.  We believe we found a unique and flexible offering;
The Heriot-Watt University / Edinburgh Business School Master of Business Administration Degree is a highly successful programme preferred by employees of many blue-chip multinational corporations. 

Key Objectives
The MBA programme enables students to:

1. Gain knowledge of subjects fundamental to management,
2. Develop analytical skills indispensable in problem solving and decision-making,
3. Understand the process of management and human behaviour in organisations, and

The English School of Business is approved to provide administrative and academic services by offering tuition in English language with Heriot-Watt approved tutors.
