Interdisciplinary research The Business School has capitalised on opportunities afforded by our Edinburgh location and cultivated links with other parts of the University to develop and lead new areas of expertise. Areas of expertise include financial services and FinTech, creative industries, and digital tourism. The School has links with other schools at the University, including Social and Political Studies, Mathematics and Law, allowing students with cross-disciplinary interests to find expertise, support and supervision.

The strength of your application for our programme depends on the fit of your proposal with the School’s research mission and themes, and particularly how it fits with the research interests of our academic staff.

Check out the links to our research disciplines and themes above to find one of our academic colleagues you would be interested to work with, who would have the expertise to support your studies. When approaching a potential supervisor please ensure you give them an up-to-date CV and a draft research proposal, and please explain in your email to them why you think they would be a good supervisor for your research project.
