Developing leaders

Developing leadership practice runs through all teaching elements throughout the MBA. We believe leadership skills are difficult to teach in isolation; leadership is about the every day, the way you work with others, the way you articulate ideas and build supportive teams and networks.

We also think that listening to those who have done it and can relate the challenges first-hand is vital – hence our comprehensive series of leadership speaker events:

Cambridge Leadership SeminarsThis flagship series of seminars is unique to the Cambridge MBA, drawing in experienced and respected leaders from international organisations to share their insights with our MBA class. Students not only hear our guests in a lecture style setting, but are also able to join the guest speakers for networking dinners in intimate college settings.

University of Cambridge Speaker EventsThere are a host of University-wide leadership events MBAs are invited to attend including the annual Magdalene College Investec Lecture in Business.

Leadership in ActionThis course is hosted by a group of specially selected senior executives. Through a series of informal group discussions, MBAs are given the unique opportunity to discuss matters around leadership with these high calibre individuals.

City Speakers SeriesMBAs are also able to attend this series of talks, hosted by the Master of Finance (MFin) programme.

The Cambridge VentureProject (CVP)In term one you will work in teams to consult for one of theentrepreneurial firms in the Cambridge area. The CVP will give you first-hand experience of some of the challenges faced by innovators in high-risk, high-pressure environments. Teams are allocated a Mentor and also have input from Cambridge Judge Business School faculty.

The Global Consulting Project(GCP)In the second term, you will form your own teams and consult with blue-chip multinational corporations or international organisations on location, on a particular aspect of their business. The GCP is a highlight of the Cambridge MBA for many, providing a valuable opportunity to apply your learning, experience new sectors or roles and build global networks with a view to your post-MBA career goals.

Our core focus is on team work. MBAs gain frequentaccess to real clients from around the world, openingdoors to career opportunities after the programme.

Practical learning

The Capstone ProjectThe Capstone Project uses areal life case study to exploreinternational business theory.It rounds off the subject-specialist ‘Concentration’ work done, bringing together all the learning from the MBA curriculum in the sector area you will have chosen. The projects include: creating business plans, pitching for investment, or presenting analysis of business problems to client panels.

Summer ActivitiesThis period of study allows you the flexibility to pursue your own goals, whether through an internship or individual project. There are also anumber of ‘intensive courses’ on offer, including the Entrepreneurship Boot Camp, and the Six Sigma Green Belt Certification Project – a powerful management improvement tool. The summer period presents another opportunity to link up with our network of business contacts going forward into your post-MBA career.
