Testimonials

I work in a global corporation, where I am responsible for promoting sustainability and advancing business and human rights. The programme at Edinburgh, which encouraged interdisciplinary inquiry and real-world engagement, greatly shaped how I approach complex policy challenges in a corporate setting.

Asuka Minakuchi
MSc Public Policy (2022)

The Business School's well-rounded education equipped me with diverse skills. The emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, and ethical decision-making laid the groundwork for my transition into strategic roles. Collaborative projects and exposure to industry leaders fine-tuned my ability to apply theory to practice, enabling me to contribute significantly.

Pitchayamon Vanichpipat
MSc Accounting and Finance (2020)

Personally, I love nature and I love animals so I chose to study environmental law and here at the University of Edinburgh they also focused on climate change as well so the course here stands out for me.

Tulyada
LLM in Global Environment and Climate Change Law (2019)

Our programme looks back on narrative traditions in order to look forward to new storytelling methods and technologies. By unpicking narratives found in politics, in economic data, in the world around us, we can reshape the stories we tell about issues that matter to us and to society.

Dr Lynda Clark
Programme Director, MSc Narrative Futures: Art, Data and Society, Edinburgh Futures Institute

Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA) also has their own climate action network, named ECAN (ESALA Climate Action Now). I was lucky to be involved with the group, first as a volunteer, and in my final year as a co-convenor alongside tutors. The blended format of the ECAN working group encourages a shared platform for students to work with staff, reducing hierarchy in the work produced.
