Our campus

We specialise in Accountancy, Finance, Investment and Business Management. This means we are more focused in our areas of expertise. This enables Edge to consistently obtain an average of 80% or more pass rate for individual subjects each and every semester

Many universities have large first year classes, with hundreds of students being lectured at a time. Edge Business School has smaller classes allowing individual attention to be given to students where needed; in an environment where lecturers are fully accessible to students.

Edge Business School does not confer it’s own qualifications. Therefore, students must be prepared thouroughly so that they may answer assignments and examinations.

No compromises. No spotting. No exceptions.
