Networks: How They Benefit MBAs

What contact do MBAs have with our business and educational networks?

• Practical projects (Cambridge Venture Project, Global Consulting Project, Individual Project, Capstone Project)
  You will work with business clients, from the local and global communities, on genuine consulting projects which offer the chance to put classroom learning to the practical test.
• Entrepreneurship and innovation
  Cambridge is a leading centre of entrepreneurship studies. Through the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (CfEL) and its courses, events and links to the local business community, MBA students will be immersed in a thriving and valuable network.
• Mentors and coaches
  Through consulting projects and your concentration choice, we partner you with mentors and coaches from the professional world. In this way we match your course learning with insights from current pracitioners within the relevant industry sector.
• Summer activity
  This period of study allows you flexibility to follow your own interests and goals, whethers it's through an internship, consulting project, dissertation, or specialist skills workshop. It's another chance to link up with our network of business contacts, to drive you closer to your career goals.
• Visiting speakers and leaders
  Our flagship Cambridge Leadership Seminars bring the most successful leaders from a diverse range of sectors to talk to our MBA class. Each seminar is followed by a more intimate gathering over lunch of dinner for a smaller group of students, to allow closer interaction. This is a truly unique and memorable experience within the Cambridge MBA.
• Core courses and recruitment events
  We enhance our core course programme by involving current practitioners. Whether through specialist courses such as the Creativity Workshop, run in partnership with Saatchi & Saatchi or through our programme of recruitment events, where industry practitioners come to give guidance on pursuing careers in their field, you will be in constant touch with the real world of business during your MBA year.
• Cambridge colleges
  As a college member you immediately become part of their network of students, academics, practitioners and alumni. The value and diversity of these college networks are immense, and they are an important part of your learning and social experiences while you're in Cambridge. You will become a member of an exclusive alumni group, which spreads around the world and into the most senior and influential echelons of business.
