 Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh is Scotland's newest university and occupies the first brand new purpose-built campus development in Scotland in more than 30 years.
QMU's professionally relevant courses are designed to meet the changing needs of students, employers, and society with lecturing staff actively engaged in ongoing research and collaborative work with external agencies, businesses, and academics. This ensures that teaching is up-to-date and relevant and means that students benefit from the latest thinking and developments in the field.
QMU offers a wide portfolio of undergraduate, postgraduate, and research degrees in the areas of: business, enterprise and management; health sciences; drama and the creative industries and media, communication, and sociology. Behind all of QMU's postgraduate courses is a strong philosophy of enhancing quality of life and serving communities. Today graduates of QMU have used their skills and knowledge to make improvements to the lives of many different people--whether that be through the development of better business practice for improved customer service, breakthroughs in health care, the development of creative arts for people's enjoyment, or working with people in third-world countries to rebuild their communities after years of destruction.
The responsive, dynamic, and modern School of Business and Enterprise at Queen Margaret University delivers top quality programs that are continuously updated to make them relevant to the rapidly changing global business environment concerned about sustainability. We offer a complete range of business and management education programs from undergraduate to postgraduate and post-experience programs, including MBAs, Executive Master's degrees, as well as PhDs.
The school provides students with the unique opportunity to study in a highly focused and friendly institution where staff provide excellent levels of student support: we constantly receive excellent feedback from our graduates and from employers about the relevance of our programs. Indeed, we were named Britain's top higher education college in The Sunday Times University Guide two years running in 2005 and 2006.
We aim to lead the way in student-centered approaches to learning; where students can demonstrate their entrepreneurial talent and learn by doing as well as being taught; where state-of-the-art information and communications technology and educational resources are put at the center of the student learning experience--in work placements as well as on campus; and where the growing number of collaborative international partnerships we currently have in India, Switzerland, and Singapore provide a critical international dimension to our work.
Our staff also work with managers and executives from business, government, and public services to support innovation and professional advancement. The transfer of our experiences from the real world of organizations to the student learning environment is crucial to the development of effective learning and teaching materials. We provide excellence and leadership in vocationally and professionally relevant education, research, and consultancy in key sectors of the Scottish economy--so making our graduates some of the most sought-after in the country and beyond!
