It performs well on the ranking for the obvious reason: the ranking is a weighted product of the attributes used for the ranking. The course structure is not one of those.&nbsp;<br><br>The courses on offer seem very conventional. The only difference is that, like most Russell Group universities, there is a major disseration. Did you look at the course structure in depth: http://www.drps.ed.ac.uk/23-24/dpt/ptmscmgmnt1f.htm ? There are 120 credits in the degree. That's a lot of content for one academic year.&nbsp;<br><br>PS I see all the core management areas offered in the Edinburgh MiM:<br>- Accounting<br>- Analytics/Decisions<br>- CSR<br>- Economics<br>- Finance<br>- HRM/OB<br>- Operations/Project/Service management<br>- Marketing<br>- Research methods<br>- Strategy.&nbsp;<br>

Oh, I see how it is now, sir. Thank you for sharing. I was a bit stunned
to find out that there were some strange areas like CSR, global
creative industries, organising for social change, etc. :smile:<br>

CSR is in the core curriculum for almost every school now that it's one of the variables in the FT ranking.&nbsp; Creative industries like luxury, tourism and marketing are important employers in Scotland.&nbsp;
