history

Entrance of the UEBS

The University of Edinburgh was asked in 1916 by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce to establish a degree for its members. As a result, the Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) was launched in 1918 and the Chair of Accounting and Business Method , which was the first of its kind in Scotland, was established. First part of the Faculty of Arts , the Department of Business Studies and the Department of Accounting and Business Method were soon established.

It was not until the 21st century that the BCom was replaced by the Master of Arts (MA) in Business Studies. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) was first offered in 1980. Since then, over 3,500 students have completed this program. The first MSc program was introduced in 1996.

Since August 2010 the business school has been housed in a newly built building in the center of the university campus and in the heart of the city of Edinburgh. The new building represented an investment of £ 17 million for the university. It includes all staff offices, eight lecture halls, several work rooms, an executive education suite and a café. The business school also shares the historic and modern buildings of Edinburgh University.
