The FINANCIAL — Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, is delighted to announce that it will be offering its inaugural Cambridge Executive MBA commencing in September 2009, with online applications being accepted from today.
Commenting on the launch, Professor Arnoud De Meyer, Director of Judge Business School, said: "The Cambridge Executive MBA builds on the success of the School's full-time MBA, ranked 10th globally by The FT in 2008, and is an exciting addition to the School's expanding degree portfolio and an important strategic initiative. It is also a fitting contribution to the University as it celebrates its past and looks forward to many more years of educating leaders."
The Cambridge Executive MBA has been designed to meet the needs of professionals who choose to continue working while earning their MBA degree.
It is aimed at executives with significant years of professional experience who seek to improve their current managerial skills, and to develop new skills for even greater challenges in the dynamic global economy. Participants will be able to embrace new concepts and take advantage of the opportunity for real-time knowledge transfer, by applying them directly to their workplaces. Additionally, the participants will draw benefit from the unique mix of backgrounds each class of executives offers, and will be able to share and learn from one another given their considerable managerial experiences.
Structured over 20 months, the Cambridge Executive MBA programme will be divided into five terms, with classes scheduled one weekend per month at Judge Business School in Cambridge. The classes will begin on Fridays at 1300hrs and conclude at 1730hrs on Saturday, enabling candidates to continue to virtually work full-time, as well as making the programme accessible not only to those throughout the UK, but also to individuals from nearby European counties.
The curriculum will include 17 courses covering all essential business theories and applications and will be taught by the distinguished faculty of Judge Business School. It also provides specialisation through two electives and an Individual Project. Additionally, the programme includes an international business studies trip and a week-long Group Consulting Project.
