About the Cambridge MBA
Personalised learning Through our unique Concentrations, you’ll get to delve deeper into a business sector that interests you and develop expertise and networks to help you reach for your career goals.
The Cambridge MBA lasts for 12 months and is delivered full-time and on-campus. It consists of four practical projects, two of which are live consulting projects: the Cambridge Venture Project (November/December) and the Global Consulting Project (March/April).
More practical experience Cambridge gives particular emphasis to practical project work. Working in teams with classmates and with real multinational organisations, you will practice your new skills, test potential career interests, and forge powerful networks for the future.
There are eight ‘Concentrations’ as part of the programme, and each student chooses a Concentration to participate in during the final term. The Concentrations vary in format, but typically include a combination of lectures, group work, external participants’ presentations, ‘coach nights’ and project work.
The Cambridge experience Few business schools have such a rich and revered intellectual setting, and no other MBA programme has such a holistic approach to business: we draw on disciplines and expertise from around the University of Cambridge to enhance our MBA.
