Full-time MBA

The Edinburgh Business School MBA programme can be studied on campus at the Business School over a 12-month period. The full-time MBA has the same content and structure as the other study modes of the MBA programme, i.e. there are seven compulsory courses and students must then choose two electives.

Students will be supplied with a complete set of learning materials for each course and will also be expected to attend an on-campus teaching session (per course) with faculty.

Normally, the teaching sessions consist of:

* A4-day intensive seminar with School faculty. Students come to class having already studied the course using the printed and online materials; the faculty member then adds value through the use of simulations, case studies and class discussions.
* A2-day exam revision session for each compulsory course.

Admission

Admission to the full-time MBA is by application and acceptance. You are expected to have:

* A recognised first- or second-class honours degree, or a qualification deemed to be equivalent, or passes in three of the MBA courses (one of which must be core).
* A minimum of 2 years' post-qualifying full-time work experience of a relevant nature.
* Evidence of competence in English language in the form of an IELTS/TOEFL score.
