Queen Margaret Business School

A member of the Chartered Association of Business Schools, our approach to teaching and research in business related subjects is distinctive in four ways:

(1) Our focus on hands on experiential learning, providing the optimum balance of theoretical and practical approaches, with strong industry links.

(2) Our emphasis on the need for ethical, social and ecological responsibility in business.

(3) Our entrepreneurial focus. Our students and recent graduates benefit from the University’s Startup Studio (which hosts start-ups) and on-campus Business Gateway, and many go on to create their own businesses. A number of our courses offer students the opportunity to do a business consultancy in practice project where they take on a real consultancy project with a third party client and develop workplace skills and practical experience.

(4) With small class sizes, we are able to know and support our students as individuals.

We offer a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in business, management, accounting and finance, marketing and hospitality, events and tourism. Our offering includes online courses and options to study single modules. Our MA Accounting and Finance is delivered in collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and our MSc International Marketing is accredited by the Digital Marketing Institute (DMI). We are also signatory member of The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).

We foster a global mindset in our students and staff, promoting international projects and exchanges and delivering our courses at centres across the world.
