F.A.Q.

MBA (Master of Business Administration) – an academic postgraduate degree in business management aimed at gaining specialized knowledge and skills for professional management and a holistic understanding of the functioning of the business.

Modern MBA education signposts not only the availability of a certain amount of knowledge from its owner, but also the desire to improve and extend professional skills in business management.

The MBA program is primarily aimed at people with higher education and significant managerial work experience.

Studying in the MBA program provides a possibility to systematize your existing knowledge, gain new one and develop your own practical application based on the existing experience.

The establishment of the local learning partner of Edinburgh Business School in Central and Eastern Europe in Ukraine gave an additional possibility to get a classic business education that meets British standards without leaving the country or business to study abroad.

An MBA programme is designed for business owners, and senior executives who need to systematize knowledge and gain relevant qualifications. The Edinburgh Business School MBA programme will help you to get and organize the knowledge and approaches you use to develop your business, help you make your team and company more efficient, and leverage the scale of your personal achievements.
