The world's most flexible MBA programme

This is your MBA. Not ours. That means you start when you like and finish when you like. You can study from home or on campus. At EBS, our courses are designed to fit round you.

Programme structure

There are seven core courses in the MBA programme. You then take two elective courses, chosen from a list of more than 30. Some electives are available as taught courses; others can be taken through distance learning. Each course requires approximately 200 hours of study.

The full-time programme commences in October or January each year. All students receive comprehensive learning materials, access to online course websites and faculty boards. For each subject course, there is an intensive 4-day teaching block and a 2-day revision session. All on-campus teaching in Edinburgh is delivered in the English language. Courses are examined in March, June, August and December.

After completing three courses, you are eligible for a Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration, and after six courses for a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration. The certificate and diploma awards are formal recognition of your progress; they can also be used as exit awards. Specialist awards are available at MBA level depending on your choice of courses.
