About the University of Edinburgh Business School
The aim of University of Edinburgh Business School is to be a world-class Business School within a world-class University. We are distinctive, fostering a unique coaching culture, where all students have access to coaching and much of this is facilitated by peer support leaders from the student cohorts. The Business School is focused on sustainability, aiming to anchor the UN Sustainable Development goals into our strategic planning and developing our activities in line with the University’s target to be carbon-neutral by 2040. Furthermore, we are actively participating in data-driven innovation which envisages Edinburgh becoming the Data Capital of Europe.
Location
Based in the heart of Edinburgh, staff at the Business School are immersed in the vibrant life of the city. The Business School has excellent transport links including buses and a location that is only a 20-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley station. In the summer, we find ourselves with easy access to the Edinburgh International Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. For a breath of fresh air all year round, green spaces such as George Square and the Meadows are right outside our front door.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Culture
The culture of the Business School is people-oriented and diverse; we have a strong Equality and Diversity committee made up of both academic and professional services staff and we are committed to the principles of Athena SWAN [https://www.advance-he.ac.uk/equality-charters/athena-swan-charter]. We also support staff in a hybrid working environment and offer the possibility for most roles to work in a combination of on-campus and at-home working where it suits both them and the organisation.
