Investing in a customised programme is not the only way to gain insights into the work of the Business school. our staff are also available to work with businesses on a consultancy or research basis.

one of the primary aims of the

school is to serve as a vibrant,

high profile centre for education,

research and debate about

contemporary management

issues. our geographical location

– in one of europe’s most vibrant

cities and scotland’s business

capital – simply adds to our

ability to attract faculty from

around the world and to develop

distinctive research niches.

our extremely high standards

mean that the school focuses

on delivering internationally

recognised research that is

highly rated by Uk research

funding councils. In the last

Uk research assessment exercise,

85% of research we submitted

was judged to be of international

quality, with 10% of activity

deemed ‘world-leading’.

our international faculty conducts

research on an individual and

collective basis, often through the

school’s research centres. the

onus is on staff to create research

that has practical applications and

can demonstrate a measurable

impact upon real life situations.

We are keen to further develop

collaborative links between

industry and academia, and

businesses of all types can engage

our consultancy services to access

our staff’s superior research skills.

recent research

Local, national and international

businesses and non-commercial

organisations have enlisted

our help in tackling various

research and consultancy

projects over the last few years.

Projects have included:

• examining the ‘problems’ of

an ageing world and their

impact upon governments and

employers across the world. the

Business school collaborated

with academics from other

institutions to explore ways

of extending the traditional

retirement ages in a major

study for the Department

for Work and Pensions.

In the summer term, each of our

finance Msc students completes

an individual dissertation.

Although it is usual for students

to choose a dissertation

topic based upon their own

interests, or to develop topics

suggested by academic staff,

opportunities also exist for

companies to sponsor projects.

A company-sponsored project

involves a student directing

his or her Msc dissertation

towards answering research

questions suggested by a

company. organisations may

wish to progress research into

a particular issue and can base

the project topic upon this. An

academic supervisor is assigned

to each project, which is likely

to be empirical in nature.

previous msc in finance

dissertation topics include:

• An analysis of equity issues

among companies in

financial distress and of the

development of tradable debt.

• Changing life expectancy

and fund manager selection

• An investigation into

are international in nature, many

of them with work experience

from emerging markets and

developing countries, and are a

valuable resource for collecting

information and analysing the

market specified by the client.

A project team, typically

comprising four or five students

supported by our academic

staff, will use quantitative and

empirical research methods

to examine the market.

the team will deliver its findings

and recommendations as a

previous projects have

drinks brand in ethiopia.

• the market for power

• the requirement for satellite

• Ambient noise cancellation

offering an internship to a

student on the edinburgh

MBA gives your business the

opportunity to assign a project to

an industry-experienced student

with an international outlook at

comparatively little expense.

Internships will typically start

in late June or early July and

usually last between eight

and twelve weeks. Quite often

experience gained during an

internship can form the basis

for a student’s dissertation. this

would be agreed in advance

with the client organisation.

hosting an internship has

the following advantages

for your business:

• Consultancy services are

delivered for a fraction

of the fee charged by a

• It is possible to see how a

student works with your team in

long-term employment.

• A student’s international

experience may prove

advantageous if you’re

considering entry into

an overseas market.

• you enjoy great flexibility in

terms of the work to be carried

out during the internship.

• A substantial outcome is

achieved, both in terms of

the work completed during
