I have just completed the nine-paper MBA degree with EBS, and I can honestly say that it was a unique experience. After completing my Bachelors in Management Studies in India, I was looking for a course that would complement this background, and I was lucky to have found this. It suited my needs perfectly. I’ve done the course from one of the learning centres in London, and I’ve never regretted my decision. The University was very helpful whenever I required any assistance. They have a great set-up for their students. Always willing to answer any queries and completely accessible by e-mail, I never felt disadvantaged for not studying at the EBS campus myself. Also, it was nice to see what a keen interest they took in how the learning centres were ensuring quality education. We were regularly sent questionnaires to test the ability of professors, which shows the university’s genuine concern for the welfare of their students. Another thing that I found very satisfying was that I was able to choose the pace with which I could complete the course myself. There was never any rush or any strict schedule put in place by EBS.
The course itself was great. It was designed to suit students of any nationality. It was a comprehensive course, and I honestly feel that it has enhanced my knowledge of how organisations work. I have retained all the study material, which I find very useful whenever I need to refer back to them to understand the current situations I face at work. It has helped my professional life tremendously, in understanding the working of my organisation, its people, managing difficulties, understanding the language that different people from different departments speak, etc. This course is really something that I will always be proud of having completed, and I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone considering it.

I was working in Bangkok at the time when I was looking out for an MBA programme from a renowned institute. However, I wanted to continue to work and study at the same time.
During my search I came across the EBS programme that was being offered in Bangkok for working Executives, which caught my eye. The programme was via distance learning but with a difference. The EBS programme was being offered through a partner IITD in Bangkok.
What EBS had to offer was completely different. IITD provided us with weekend classes wherein professors from the industry flew down on weekends to Bangkok and go through the respective modules along with us. We had a class size of about 35 students. The beauty of this was that all of us were working executives with various backgrounds and from various industries. This was an advantage as during group discussions we could get ideas and opinions from people from various fields and industries. This also helped us in grasping concepts and relating them to the workplace and current industry trends.
The study material offered by EBS was also updated with case studies and examples from various industries that occurred in the recent past.
EBS also offers a pretty flexible MBA programme that caters to working executives who travel a lot and may not be able to complete the programme within 2 years. Apart from the regular June and December examination schedules they had two additional exam schedules within the year that gave the students an option of taking the exams at a later date.
I am happy that I completed the MBA programme within 2 years. I completed my MBA in July 2003. The programme definitely helped me improve as a person and a manager. It has helped me gain confidence and improved my ability to think out of the box and develop strategies to achieve company targets and goals.
I would definitely recommend the EBS programme to students who are looking for an MBA that is complete and satisfying in all respects.

It was about two years back when I had to choose a business school which can help me to realize my vision of becoming a CxO of a multinational concern. I chose EBS, the first step in this journey to realize my career project.
Looking at the modules on offer at Edinburgh Business School, I was convinced that Master of Business Administration course is in line with industry requirement of good managers who have a scientific and technical approach. I was also convinced by the fact that my interests are in line with the activities of the school. I believed that the distinguished faculty, the vibrant student fraternity, alumni network and the generally stimulating atmosphere at the university, will provide me with an excellent opportunity to explore my field of interest and now I can proudly say the decision to choose EBS was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
The study materials provided by the school, the support extended from the administrative staff is unarguably of the highest quality. The curricula was tough, but worth the effort. The case studies, profiler questions and past papers are great resources to understand the subject in-depth.
At EBS, efforts are recognized!
EBS MBA program can make world look so small with students from different parts of the world are under one umbrella of EBS.
