We create custom programmes with organisations across a wide range of topics, designed around your needs. Explore examples below, and contact us to discuss how learning can support your change agenda.

A supportive space for learning

We take pride in creating a safe learning space and a welcoming location where individuals and groups can think at depth about new strategies, solutions and insights. Rather than prescriptive solutions, here debate and discussion is as valued as theory and practice.

Whether based on an existing course or designed from scratch, custom training can be a cost-effective solution that builds knowledge, understanding, and the confidence to act and think differently.

Connecting you to the wider University

While we are based in the Business School, we draw on expertise from across the University of Edinburgh to design programmes in any subject area, and tackle interdisciplinary challenges. We build on the University’s research strength – 86% of our research is classified as world-leading or internationally excellent – to share new knowledge and ideas with you [latest Research Excellence Framework, REF 2021].

Award winning

Our success was recognised at the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and Business Graduate Association (BGA) Excellence Awards 2025, where our executive education partnership with NatWest Group won the Best Business School Partnership award.
