Mark said the Edinburgh Business School MBA planted the seed firmly in his mind that “ordinary people can do great things.”
“I have always found real life examples of successful business on the ground really inspiring, and my studies motivated me to think long and hard about how I could apply my technical knowledge and experience to further my own dreams of becoming an entrepreneur. Mohammed Al Jaber, the CEO of the Al Jaber Group asked me to form AJA Private Jets with him, as he has been interested in the airline industry for many years. Mr Al Jaber, as the CEO of AJA, appointed me to the role of Chief Operating Officer, a position that wouldn’t have been possible without my learning through Edinburgh Business School. Today the airline has over 75 members of staff and five large jets flying worldwide. We did all this in four short years, truly a success story for aviation in this difficult time.

The University of Law is already one of the largest professional law schools in the world. It trains more than 7,000 students each year on a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, which are delivered within diverse and flexible patterns enabling students to access them from one of its eight campuses, the workplace or the home via the internet.

With a heritage dating back to 1876, The College of Law was created in its present form in 1962 by the
War Prime Minister David Lloyd George. At least two current UK Government ministers who attend Cabinet are College alumni and its teaching staff have gone on to hold senior posts in legal education and the profession, most notably: John Widgery (1932 – 1948), who went on to become Lord Chief Justice in 1971; Frederick Odgers (1932- 1946), who subsequently held the Chair of Common Law at Liverpool University from 1965 and Gordon Borrie (1957- 1964), who went on to hold the Chair of Commercial Law at Birmingham University and as Lord Borrie was Director General of Fair Trading.
The University is proud of its record of empowering students from all backgrounds to achieve their legal career goals. It supports qualified lawyers throughout the profession with a comprehensive programme of professional development courses and in 2008 launched a Master’s LL.M programme in professional legal practice.
It also provides the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL), to give non-law graduates an entry route into the profession, and the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) for prospective barristers.
In 2006 the University, then The College of Law, was the first independent institution to be granted degree awarding powers.
