MSc Financial Management
I was looking for a programme that would sharpen my skills, and that's what I found at Edinburgh Business School. If I was selling the school, I would highlight three things: flexibility, applicability and structure. What I loved most about EBS is that they have equipped us with the professionalism to go out there and change the world.
