Our School
The University of Edinburgh Business School has been ranked 16th in the UK and second in Scotland according to the Power Index, which measures the quality and breadth of research, in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment. Recognition in the REF adds to our success of joining the 1% of business schools worldwide to be ‘triple-accredited' from international ranking bodies, AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA.
