The University of Edinburgh is one of the oldest in the United Kingdom, having been granted its Royal Charter in 1583. More than 200 years ago its central role in the Scottish Enlightenment helped create a bright new reason-based approach to the human condition. Today that legacy inspires a modern, forward-looking institution, world-class academics, and more than 40,000 students from across the globe who have chosen to study in Edinburgh.

Our MSc in Management will give you an understanding of contemporary management issues in an ever-changing business environment, and the chance to apply your knowledge to real-life management challenges. This programme, ranked joint 5th in the UK in 2023 by the Financial Times, is valuable to both those starting out in business, and those looking to progress in their existing careers.

Key areas you will develop include effective management in an ever-changing business environment, an awareness of how to analyse and resolve contemporary management problems, and the ability to acquire, analyse, and validate data.

As emphasised by Nadine Timmer-Bodenstein, MSc Management alum and Product Lead for 11:FS, the programme offers invaluable benefits beyond a technical skillset – “the school gave me the confidence I needed to believe that I could excel in a new field, the skills I needed to manage people and teams effectively, and the friends I needed to support me through these changes.”
