Benefits of a four-year degree

Edinburgh's four-year degree offers a range of advantages. The added experience and intellectual depth acquired over four years is widely recognised and greatly valued by employers, and you also have the opportunity to study abroad in your third year.

For many of our business degrees, in years 1 and 2, you can study subjects outside your key discipline. This allows you to develop a breadth as well as a depth of knowledge, expanding your academic range and enhancing your student experience.

Your final 'honours' years 3 and 4 allow you to focus on your specialities in depth, and the fourth-year dissertation, comprising a piece of original research, represents the culmination of your degree and the demonstration of your abilities as an independent scholar.

Teaching and assessment

Your teaching and assessment will take different forms during your four-year degree.
