Business Management 

Business is one of the cornerstones of society. Equipping graduates to interact with a variety of business sectors remains key to the development of both individual careers and economic prosperity at a national level. The Working Futures Report (2020) predicts strong growth in management and professional services, and a further 1 million jobs will be created by 2027. 

Our business management degrees are designed to equip students to become these managers of tomorrow: leaders who will make a positive ethical contribution in the public, private and third sectors. 

In Year Two or Three of your course, you have the opportunity to spend a semester studying abroad (subject to availability). 

Students across the business management routes share the first two years of the course, at which point they confirm their chosen pathway or continue on the general Business Management degree. In Years Three and Four, the modules will be tailored to your chosen route. Invaluable work experience will be gained on placement in Year Three, where you will be operating in the best possible environment to learn those higher-level management skills required by tomorrow’s companies, and to consolidate the knowledge acquired throughout your programme of studies. 

Business Psychology

Our new BSc (Hons) Business Psychology course brings together the study of Business Management 
and Psychology and will give you a strong foundation for a career in human resource management, marketing, organisational development or general business management. 

International Hospitality, Tourism and Events Management 

International hospitality and tourism is a fast-moving and thriving industry where you can make a name for yourself. There are fabulous opportunities, many of them on our doorstep! In Scotland alone the sector is worth more than £12 billion and employs more than 218,000 people. Its success has created a growing demand for highly qualified professionals, at all levels, to continue to develop the sector. 
Hospitality, tourism and events together make up a global industry and a �鶹ӰԺ degree opens doors for our students across the world and includes a high-quality 20-week internship. 

We have links with many different hospitality, tourism and events organisations worldwide including Edinburgh festivals, The Institute of Hospitality, The Tourism Society, the Scottish Tourism Alliance and The Hospitality Industry Trust. These connections offer opportunities to attend conferences and workshops, and to apply for scholarships to spend time abroad. 

Our approach to learning and teaching: flexibility, strong industry links and variety in assessment methods 

Tailor your degree: Our business management degrees are modular. In  Years One and Two core modules in each degree will give you a  grounding in your chosen area. As you progress, you will begin to learn  more about your particular area and  all of our courses offer the  opportunity to select modules in  which you have a particular interest in later years. With all our degrees you can tailor some of your  programme of study, choosing electives from across the  undergraduate suite in the Business School 

Gain industry insights and contacts: You will participate in stimulating learning environments from lectures, seminars and workshops to field trips and study abroad options. Our courses include workplace experience, and, as industry is extremely supportive of our courses, you will benefit from hearing guest lectures from a range of practitioners and visiting professors. You will gain insights into high-profile companies such as Bacardi, Social Bite, Skyscanner, Google and Edinburgh Airport, whose representatives have joined us as visiting speakers recently. Developing contacts and networks is key to gaining an understanding of the industry, to securing work experience, and to gaining employment on graduation. 

Variety in assessment methods: Assessment methods vary and include a balanced combination of examinations, written reports, essays, presentations, creating websites and other forms of applied assessment. Some of our modules specifically utilise group work to develop team working skills and others focus on you as the individual. You will get formative feedback as you study, to provide you with an early indication about the progress you have made and can use this feedback to inform your summative assessments. 

Research-informed teaching 

You will be taught by active academics who are doing research in their own right. Some colleagues have recently completed their doctoral studies, and others are publishing in mainstream academic journals. Such engagement is key to the relevance of our courses and helps equip staff and students with the background to make informed decisions about their future. You will have contact with our growing number of PhD students as you progress through your chosen route of study. This will allow you the opportunity to interact in an informal and collegiate way with those engaged in the highest levels of academic activity and perhaps to discover that their enthusiasms accord closely with your own. At �鶹ӰԺ the door to academic advancement is an open one! 

As you reach the later stages of undergraduate study, there are opportunities to develop individual pieces of research through the honours project, depending on your course of study, and those students who choose further study at master's or doctoral level are encouraged to pursue these interests.
