The Master of Business Administration Essentials (PGCert) is a flexible, fully online postgraduate certificate programme designed for working professionals and ambitious learners who want to build core business and management capabilities without interrupting their career, while also gaining credits that can be stacked towards a full MBA if desired. Delivered through Edinburgh Business School, this programme draws on the same academic foundation as the full MBA and focuses on practical leadership, organisational strategy and project management skills that you can apply immediately in the workplace, helping you make better decisions, lead teams more effectively and contribute to organisational performance. The curriculum comprises three core MBA courses—People, Work and Organisations, Leadership Theory and Practice, and Delivering Successful Projects—each worth 20 credits, and can be studied in any order at your own pace, with Every Month and no fixed deadlines, allowing you to tailor your studies around work and personal commitments. Upon successful completion, learners earn a Postgraduate Certificate that enhances their professional credibility, strengthens essential business skills and provides a pathway to continue their studies towards a full MBA qualification with credit recognition.
