It is aimed at executives with professional experience who seek to improve their current managerial skills, and to develop new skills. Participants will be able to embrace new concepts and take advantage of the opportunity for knowledge transfer, by applying them directly to their workplaces. Additionally, the participants will draw benefit from the mix of backgrounds 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 faculty of Judge Business School. It also provides specialization through two electives and an Individual Project. Additionally, the programme includes an international business study trip and a week-long Group Consulting Project.

Commenting on the launch, Professor Arnoud De Meyer, Director, Judge Business School, said: aThe Cambridge Executive MBA builds on the success of the Schoolas full-time MBA, ranked 10th globally by The FT in 2008, and is an exciting addition to the Schoolas 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.a
