Mark Whitman

forward thinking inc., MPhil in Management 2008

The MPhil in Management course provided me with practical and theoretical skills that I now use on a daily basis as a consultant. The diversity of courses available and the high calibre of teaching at Cambridge Judge Business School made the learning experience extremely fulfilling. Moreover, the quality relationships that I developed with the dynamic people in my class, at the School and in the wider university, made my experience one that I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life.
