EBS awards full scholarships in Australia

On 1st November 2010, Edinburgh Business School ("EBS") awarded three full distance learning scholarships to Australian students at a ceremony held in Sydney. The three scholars were chosen due to their commitment to use the benefits of the MBA for charity work, and as a result of personal financial circumstances which would otherwise have precluded MBA study.

Veronica Klimenko will use her MBA to complement her legal qualifications in her work at the Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining, where she deals with issues arising between indigenous people and mining companies; Michael Abourizk is committed to develop his work in a music charity; and Joyce Paliza is already heavily involved in helping migrants adapt and prepare for life in Australia.

Awarded by Edinburgh Business School, Heriot Watt University Scotland, in association with Think Education and Nick Farr Jones, the scholarships are part of a programme of development that is intended to assist deserving students in Australia for many years.

The ceremony was attended by the scholars, the Head of Edinburgh Business School, Professor Keith Lumsden, EBS Director Alick Kitchin (UK) and Chris Vibert (EBS Course Coordinator, Sydney), as well as executives from Think Education.

Professor Lumsden congratulated the three scholars on their acceptance to the MBA programme, and commented:

"Edinburgh Business School has a distance learning MBA programme that is the largest in the world. We launched in Australia 20 years ago in 1990, and hope that these scholars will join our community of over 250 alumni in Australia, and contribute to society's advancement over the coming years."

Edinburgh Business School Launches Largest MBA Scholarship Programme Across Africa

Edinburgh Business School is launching a massive scholarship scheme across Africa – giving 250 people the opportunity to study its flagship MBA programme.

The African Scholarship Programme is being endorsed by Graça Machel, the renowned international advocate for women and children's rights and wife of Nelson Mandela, who will attend the launch event in Johannesburg on September 15.

This is believed to be the largest scholarship scheme ever offered by a UK university in Africa, giving 50 full scholarships each year for five years for the Edinburgh Business School distance learning MBA (Master of Business Administration) programme.

It will enable disadvantaged applicants to gain advanced management skills and expertise, helping them to effect change in their organisations and communities. The flexibility of the distance learning MBA enables students to continue working while they learn, implementing their new knowledge and skills in the workplace immediately.

Professor Keith Lumsden, Director of Edinburgh Business School, the Graduate School of Business of Heriot-Watt University, says the reason for the scholarship scheme is simple:

"Edinburgh Business School has a singular vision – to help our students fulfil their talents and reap the career rewards they deserve. The business school has been active in Africa for 20 years and to celebrate this milestone we wanted to establish an initiative to promote life-long learning across the continent. Africa needs assistance to help develop its full potential, and with these scholarships we are offering 250 individuals the chance to make a difference – not only to their own lives but to the wider communities around them."

The first 38 scholarship students from 14 Africa countries recently began their studies and the scheme, which is being run in conjunction with the Canon Collins Trust. The African Scholarship Programme will be formally launched at a celebration evening in Johannesburg on September 15, attended by Graça Machel.

A number of women scholarship students will also receive mentoring under the Graça Machel Mentoring Programme. Graça Machel says:

"I would like to thank Edinburgh Business School for its support for women's education and leadership in Africa. These scholarships provide inspirational rural women with transformative educational opportunities, enabling them to gain specialist skills in their chosen field and multiply their impact. By providing access to distance learning MBAs, Edinburgh Business School is contributing to the development of entrepreneurialism at local level, something which is vital to the economic health of our continent."

One scholarship student who will be mentored under the Graça Machel Mentoring Programme is 35-year-old Martha Sambani, an Administrative Officer at the University of Malawi's Polytechnic. Martha hopes her MBA will help her to improve the institution's systems in order to offer a better educational experience to students. She also plans to use the MBA to develop the University of Malawi's move from state to commercial funding.

"Our university lacks proper administrative and financial management skills due to lack of qualified personnel. Above all, I want to see a change in terms of university financial performance and accountability and this will be my greatest and first assignment to accomplish as soon as I qualify," she says.

Martha is 35 and the eldest of 8 children. She is responsible for looking after her siblings and paying to keep them in school so the Edinburgh Business School Distance Learning MBA is the perfect option for her. It is the most flexible distance learning programme in the world, allowing students to start whenever it suits them. Exams are held twice a year (in June and December) at more than 350 centres around the world, and at any one time, those taking MBA courses are part of a world community of over 10,300 students.

Dr Heidi Grimmer from Sandton in South Africa, studied for the Edinburgh Business School MBA while working as a senior technical brewer at South African Breweries (SAB Miller). She has now set up her own business – the all female women-run Associated Brewery and Beverage Consultancy. Heidi says her MBA studies have proved invaluable in her new initiative:

"To start a business is not easy, especially not during the current economic climate. The Edinburgh Business School MBA has given me the framework and the confidence to start a business whose core purpose is enterprise development, with a particular focus on the development of black women's businesses."

The 20th anniversary celebration event will be held in Johannesburg on Wednesday, September 15, 2010. It will be hosted by Professor Keith Lumsden, Director of Edinburgh Business School, and the keynote speaker will be Mrs Graça Machel.

The first 38 scholarship students are from14 countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia Zimbabwe.

Edinburgh Business School, the Graduate School of Business of Heriot-Watt University, launched in Africa in 1990 and now has 2,199 active students and 1,187 alumni across the continent.For more information see www.ebsgloabl.net/africa

On a recent trip to North America, Professor Keith Lumsden, Director of Edinburgh Business School (EBS) was guest of honour at functions held in Toronto and New York for graduates and students.

Professor Lumsden outlined the development of the EBS MBA and the additional programmes now offered by the School. He spoke of how the EBS courses were centered on the philosophy that students learn not by hearing or seeing, but by doing. He also spoke of his empirical research that demonstrated how, regardless of resources available to students, ability was the main determinant of success.

These two elements led to the launch of the EBS distance learning MBA in 1989/90. By 1994 EBS was the largest MBA programme provider in Europe and by 1996 the largest in the United States of America.

Professor Lumsden also stressed the value of our student and graduate bodies, emphasising the fact that these groups were both avid supporters of EBS and its strongest ambassadors. EBS relies on its ambassadors for the word of mouth recommendations that our students and alumni make to their friends and colleagues.

The reception events also allowed everyone in attendance to mingle and network over drinks and canapés and we look forward to the next event.
