economics
Established in 1990, the CERT research centre's principal focus has been on the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and East Asia. More recently, CERT's research has extended beyond the former socialist countries to include emerging economies throughout the world.
Further to the studies pursued under the auspices of CERT, research is carried out in the areas of macroeconomics, labour and industrial economics, and microeconomics.
We offer taught postgraduate programmes in Accounting, Banking, Finance, Business Management, European Studies, Translating and Interpreting (European languages, Arabic and Chinese), Strategic Project Planning and Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Graduate education is regarded as an essential component of a research culture and at the more advanced levels, results and findings from research being undertaken in our specialist research centres feed through into our MSc teaching, providing an invaluable synergy. The School's new Management and European Studies Research Unit, which houses a dedicated MSc computing lab, will allow further development of links between research and postgraduate teaching within the School.
The School has four programme areas: Accountancy and Finance; Economics; Languages and Intercultural Studies; and Management. The School is one of the largest in the University and is based at the Edinburgh, Scottish Borders (Galashiels) and Dubai campuses. Staff details and further information for staff and students are also available here.
