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 Project Management Methodology system has come about due to the need for a structured approach to project management within the University.

The School of Management and Languages (SML) at the Scottish Borders Campus is a division of the main SML based on the Edinburgh Campus. SML classes at the Scottish Borders Campus tend to be smaller than at the Edinburgh Campus and have a higher staff to student ratio resulting in a relaxed and friendly teaching environment. The Scottish Borders Campus is the University's only provider of the Bachelor of Arts with Industrial Experience which includes a work placement in the third year allowing students to experience the working environment and so enhance their future career prospects.
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.
The Vacancy Management Group - or VMG - reports to PME. The VMG has the authority to make decisions in accordance with the University's strategy to manage its human resources. Its remit is to consider requests for appointments to vacant posts, appointments of contract staff and extensions to temporary contracts.
