    Course Summary

    The University of Edinburgh’s Business and Finance MA program is very career oriented. It aims to provide a broad platform of general commercial and finance knowledge as well as a skillset which will allow students to compete successfully for roles in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.

    In addition to studying how businesses and other organisations of all types, sizes and remits operate, you’ll learn about how practices, processes and personnel are managed. You’ll also understand why these practices change in relation to the external business environment.

    This program takes special note of the global business climate as it stands today, and how it is likely to change in the near and far future. You’ll learn how businesses keep their management styles dynamic to take advantages of shifts in this climate, and how entrepreneurs can use its features to found economic empires.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
