Edinburgh Business School

"Unfortunately, my supervisor lacked statistical, it-related and subject-specific knowledge completely during my DBA studies at Edinburgh Business School. At the end, that cost me additional two years of post-doctorial qualification. For me these studies at Heriot-Watt were in sum, a failed investment."

"I am not a natural academic due to a poor start in education. I completed an Economics Degree at Manchester some 20 years and it takes me a while to grasp concepts, with a deep breath I bought Organisational Behaviour on the MBA course studied it and passed. I then completed all other modules and gained my MBA. For any one hesitant, my advice is to but organisational behaviour 1st. This will give you the confidence to move forward. All the modules are clear and concise. I also travelled to campus for all 2 day and 4 day courses. Cannot recommend this place enough."

"The university doesn't have free online courses to encourage the students to work more harder and finish the course quickly. Live courses are very important and it should be free for the students. I already paid 5000 SAR for Organizational Behavior just to get the materials to to log in into the students dashboard but no free courses are available."

"I love Edinburgh Business School, Heriot Watt University, Communicating with staff members has been so great. I highly appreciate the fast response rate every time I have a question or a request. The student portal is incredible and easily accessible on any device. I haven't felt like a distance learner so far due to the high engagement. I would recommend EBS over and over again."
