Programme structure
When you study the MBA programme with an Approved Learning Partner, the partner sets its own teaching programme. Academic arrangements for teaching and student support are subject to the quality assurance procedures of Heriot-Watt University and the partner institution.
Each course requires approximately 200 hours of study.
All examinations are set and graded by Edinburgh Business School faculty and the MBA qualification you receive is, of course, the same as any other MBA graduate of Edinburgh Business School.
Each Approved Learning Partner has its own admission and application policy and you should contact your chosen partner directly to discuss this further. Details of our Approved Learning Partners are available by country in the Studying Globally section.
Full information is available in the MBA student handbook – see Admissions.
