Admissions

All admission decisions are taken by Edinburgh Business School and not the Approved Learning partner.

To be eligible for admission to an EBS MSc programme, you must have a relevant undergraduate degree from a recognised university.

To be eligible for direct admission to the DBA programme, you must hold at least one of the following qualifications:

  • a Heriot-Watt University MBA
  • an approved MBA of equivalent standard to that offered by EBS
  • a Masters degree such as MSc, MA, MPhil in a relevant field of study
  • a PhD in a relevant area

In addition, you will normally have a minimum of five years of relevant business experience.

All candidates are required to apply to EBS for admission using the relevant application and reference forms. You should also consult the study routes diagram and read the example outline proposals before completing section 6 of the application form.

The DBA Student Handbook will help to guide you through your programme. It provides background information on EBS and the DBA programme, as well as procedural guidance notes and a full list of exam regulations.
