Cambridge…a name associated with history, prestige and Nobel Prize winners. I was both excited and scared with the prospect of becoming a Cambridge student. Since I was a Round One applicant, almost 10 months passed from the time that I was accepted into the programme to the day that I actually started it. […]

Why an MBA minute tops a New York minute
The (Emotional) MBA
When people ask me what I am doing and I say I am wrapping up my M.B.A, I can immediately see them visualize me in a suit at a multi-national corporation even though I am wearing a pink dress with marigolds printed on it and sipping coffee in a cafe tucked in a quiet corner […]
A seat-by-seat guide to the Cambridge MBA
The first seat of any day is inevitably the bike. Bikes are the connection between all the other seats in a typical Cambridge day. It never takes more than ten minutes* to get anywhere in Cambridge when you’ve got your bike. Three or four days a week, after my bike, the next seat was in […]
Crystallising learning into praxis
Waking up to full-on sunshine and a chorus of exotic birds, we started every day of our Global Consulting Project (GCP) in Belo Horizonte, Brazil with a fresh mind. And although the four weeks flew by- they certainly left us with a number of crucial experiences to take forward. Our first-hand challenge in Latin America […]
It took an MBA to make me realise that the most important thing in life is a good mattress
I ate Thai food at the same restaurant every lunch for a week; I think that was about the only constant from the first three weeks of our Global Consulting Project (GCP). By the time I headed back to Cambridge, I had flown for 57.5 hours, changed my bed 11 times, experienced a snow storm […]
Flash Forward: Looking back on Michaelmas term

It has been a period of both getting settled into a new home and experiencing a unique curriculum that has given me invaluable insights into the makings of great leaders and managers. Yet it has not been until well into the winter break […]
Pursuing the praxis of leadership
‘What is leadership?’, ‘What are the criteria for successful leadership?’, ‘How does an individual develop into the best possible leader?’ …although there are thousands of papers and articles published with a multitude of concepts and definitions, they can hardly shed light on all our questions. Since the start of our MBA programme, we have been […]
Questions, answers…
Why do an MBA? That is the question my peers, former colleagues and friends regularly leveled at me leading up to the start date of the course, here at Cambridge Judge Business School. It’s common to be asked regardless of your industry – but in my case, as a journalist, the question was asked with […]

The perks of being part of the University of Cambridge
Other than maybe that one school that lies slightly to the west of us, there simply is no other MBA program that can offer you what Cambridge Judge Business School has to offer. While I would gladly like to say that statement applies to most contexts, today I am referring to all the events and […]
