Quality and standards

Clear vision and strong leadership

Edinburgh Business School is part of Heriot-Watt University. With a history dating back to 1821, it is the eighth oldest higher education institution in the UK. The University was granted its Royal Charter in 1966.

Heriot-Watt’s reputation has been built on sustained success in research and teaching. The University prides itself on the high quality of its provision and is committed to maintaining high standards and continually enhancing its quality in all areas.

Edinburgh Business School is the Graduate School of Business at the University and operates within the University's extensive arrangements for quality assurance.

Academic standards are set and maintained in the assessment process through the approval of programmes, periodic review and the use of external examiners – independent academic peers from other institutions.

International

EBS is a truly international school. We take particular care to comply with registration and quality requirements set by different authorities across the world. Both independently, and through our Approved Learning Partners, EBS ensures that the necessary registrations are in place with each country's Ministry of Education or other legislative bodies. Our programmes are, for example, approved in Trinidad, Mauritius and Hong Kong.

Madhu Purwar

Madhu Purwar
India and UAE

Madhu Purwar works for the Hilton hotel group in Dubai. She began her EBS MBA in 2001 and took just over two years to complete it.

According to her, the programme is very demanding and challenging; it carries weight in business and has credibility with employers. "I got a promotion the day I left Dubai for the graduation. The company told me that the programme had made a positive contribution to my job and that I fully deserved to get what I was aiming for. What helps, of course, is that there was tangible evidence of the programme's contribution to my job and my ability to do it better. This must be pleasing for any employer - when they see that the commitment you are making to your studies has a direct benefit to them. It's a win-win situation."...more
