Cambridge MBA San Francisco Careers Trek
As 23 June dawned, I woke up eager to start the San Francisco Cambridge MBA Careers Trek – despite nursing transcontinental jetlag! This was my first Cambridge MBA experience, before starting the programme in September, and the international fibre of the programme was already evident, as 13 participants of our group represented eight nationalities and […]
CJBS Israel trek 2017
Over the winter break, 40 Cambridge MBA students travelled to Israel for a week to gain a better understanding of the country and its thriving technology sector.

Dubai Careers Trek – Lana’s View
Walking into the lobby of the Dubai trek meeting point at 8am felt like the very first day of school. The excitement was palpable and echoes of “which college are you in?”, “when do you get to Cambridge?”, and “how many suitcases do you have” (the last one was mine) could be felt across the […]
New York Careers Trek – Colin’s View
On the evening of 8 September, while New York city life bustled and fussed throughout the condensed metropolis of Manhattan, matriculating MBA students trickled into the ‘Cambridge in America’ office on the 17th floor of the Hippodrome building standing on the Avenue of the Americas. The NYC Careers Trek was effectively a pitstop on our way […]

New York Careers Trek – Roshni’s View

Dubai Careers Trek – David’s View
Tuesday 8am: arriving at the office on my last day of work after seven years, I had a lot on my mind. Goodbyes, packing up my apartment and the fun of dealing with Dubai’s utility companies meant I had given little thought to the following day’s careers trek. However, by mid-afternoon on Wednesday I was […]
Singapore Careers Trek – Daniel’s View
There was a sense of anticipation in the air when the thirteen of us met for the first time during the briefing for the careers trek to Singapore.

Singapore Careers Trek – Ashvinder’s View
Close to the start of our MBA, 13 of us had the opportunity to explore the career opportunities in Singapore on 28th and 29th July, 2016.

Kaizen spirit — the Sony Europe company trek
On 29 January 2016, 30 MBA students participated in the Sony Europe company trek—an activity organized by the Cambridge Asia Business Association (CABA). This was a great opportunity for us to go out of the classroom and see the theories we’ve learned in class applied in real life. Sony Europe (based in Weybridge, UK) is […]
