My Lent Bumps (Rowing) Experience
There I was in the boat, heart thumping, hearing the countdown from the coach on the bank 20, 19, 18…., and then a command from the boatmen, “bow pair take a stroke!” to push the boat slightly ahead and before I knew it, 2..1.. “BANG” the cannon went off and there it was my first… Continue Reading

Why I chose The Cambridge MBA over another UK MBA programme
A year ago, I was in a fortunate position to choose between Cambridge and another UK business school for my MBA. I did my research and preferred Cambridge Judge Business School for a few important reasons – 1) the concentrations on offer 2) a better project focus 3) the small class-size and 4) location – not necessarily in that order.… Continue Reading
Designing your own MBA experience…

Our first six weeks of Michaelmas term have confirmed all of these, particularly the rigorous nature of the program. There wasn’t a single moment where weren’t learning or networking.

A trip to Singapore for the international monetary policy lecture series
By rotating 360˚, I could see the national borders, including numerous sea ports, of the country which lay before me. I was not engaging in Google Maps “travel”, but was standing on the observation deck of one of the tallest buildings in the small, bustling, tropical island nation of Singapore. I was one of 8… Continue Reading
