Frequently asked questions
How much does the University of Edinburgh MSc Management cost?
For September 2026 entry, tuition is £34,800 for international students (including EU) and £24,800 for UK (Home) students. A non-refundable £60 application fee applies, and admitted students pay a non-refundable £2,500 deposit within 28 days of their offer to secure a place; it is deducted from the tuition. The University estimates living costs in Edinburgh at roughly £1,542 a month (about £18,504 a year) for a postgraduate — confirm the current figures on the Business School's page before budgeting.
Does the Edinburgh MSc Management require the GMAT or GRE?
No. The University of Edinburgh Business School does not list the GMAT or GRE as a requirement for the MSc Management. Admission is based on your academic record — a UK first-class or 2:1 honours degree (or its overseas equivalent) in any subject — together with your personal statement and references. Relevant work experience is not required, though the school notes it may strengthen an application. That makes Edinburgh one of the more accessible routes into a triple-accredited UK Master in Management for applicants who would rather not sit an admissions test.
When are the Edinburgh MSc Management application deadlines?
The programme runs a series of selection rounds rather than a single deadline, and allocates places on a first-come, first-served basis as rounds fill. For September 2026 entry the five rounds closed on 15 October 2025, 10 December 2025, 11 February 2026, 22 April 2026 and 10 June 2026, each with a decision returned several weeks later. Applicants needing a visa are advised to apply by the final round. Because places fill across the cycle, applying in an earlier round is an advantage; confirm the next cycle's exact dates on the Business School's deadlines page.
