Undergraduate

I am delighted to welcome you to the University of Edinburgh Business School.

Choosing where to study for your business degree is a significant decision, so I'm happy that you have decided to join us at the University of Edinburgh.

Edinburgh is a wonderful place to live, study and work; it combines academic quality and heritage, a rich and vibrant cultural experience, and spectacular geography.

The University of Edinburgh Business School is located in the city centre, right at the beating heart of the University district. Whether spending quality time amongst the trees in The Meadows, dipping in to the main University Library, or sampling the culinary and cultural delights of surrounding cafés, galleries and museums, we have it all on our doorstep!

In studying with us you will develop the knowledge and skills to become the managers and leaders that business and society needs to create successful, sustainable and responsible organisations.

Organisations require managers with deep and applied knowledge of how to leverage internal and external capabilities, and a skill set to lead and deliver through turbulent times. At the same time, the grand challenges of our time – climate crisis, geopolitical tensions, digital transformation/AI, poverty and inequality – require leaders that can steer organisations with purpose and social responsibility.

Securing a degree from a top institution like the University of Edinburgh will demonstrate your resilience, flexibility, and an ethical mindset to work toward an inclusive and sustainable global economy.

A key element of your study experience is the extra-curricular content and the ability to connect with others. The University of Edinburgh Business School offers a wide range of activities, events, and networking opportunities virtually and in person. Connect with alumni, come along to or dial into our regular guest speaker events, or join one of the many societies or clubs on campus. These activities will help to develop your friendship group, integrate into the vibrant University community, build your CV and hone your career aspirations.

We hope you settle well into your new environment and encourage you to reach out if you have any questions or need support.
