Overview of Edinburgh Business School
The Edinburgh Business School (EBS) is the Graduate School of Business at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. Heriot-Watt was established in 1821 and received its Royal Charter in 1966, becoming one of the United Kingdom's 100 Royal Charter universities. EBS offers postgraduate programs in business and management, including one of the most popular online distance learning MBA programs in the world. Two programs of particular interest are the Master in Business Administration (MBA) and Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA).
Points of Distinction
Areas of Study
EBS offers two online degree programs of particular interest. These are the Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) and the Master in Business Administration (MBA). The DBA program with a specialization in Strategic Focus is centered on a real business problem and the results provide real working outcomes of direct relevance to that business. The DBA thesis is identical to a PhD in terms of effort, rigor, and required knowledge. The MBA program consists of seven core courses and two electives which can be studied in any order. For each course, the student must complete a final exam at one of more than 350 examination centers located in over 150 countries worldwide. All courses are created from a global perspective to frame business issues in an international context.
