The Executive MBA (EMBA) programme team at Cambridge Judge Business School has been named a finalist in the Diversity Team of the Year category at the prestigious European Diversity Awards (EDA) 2025. This recognition celebrates individuals and organisations whose exceptional leadership has significantly advanced the agenda of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI).
A testament to diversity and inclusion excellence
This nomination highlights the Executive MBA team’s dedicated efforts and unwavering commitment to creating an inclusive environment that truly values and celebrates diversity in leadership and education. From our Admissions Team to our cohorts, curriculum and faculty, EDI is more than just a guiding principle, it is the foundation upon which we design, deliver and enrich the Executive MBA experience.
Equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of the Executive MBA experience
By embracing the belief that diverse perspectives drive innovation, leadership and meaningful impact, the Executive MBA programmes ensure that EDI is reflected in:
1
Our curriculum
Courses are designed to include diverse viewpoints and foster inclusive leadership skills.
2
Global experiences
Overseas travel opportunities highlight diverse cultures and global leadership challenges.
3
Our culture and research
The programme champions inclusivity in both its academic environment and the research it produces.
A broad commitment to representation
The Executive MBA team is setting a benchmark for inclusivity by championing representation across a diverse spectrum. Our efforts extend to fostering women in leadership, promoting LGBTQ+ inclusion, embracing religious diversity and amplifying the voices of ethnic minorities. Moreover, the programme actively supports cultural representation and disability advocacy, as well as wellness and mental health initiatives, while raising awareness about neurodiversity and creating pathways for social mobility.
By addressing intersectionality, the team ensures that every individual’s unique experiences and identities are acknowledged and respected, fostering a holistic approach where all voices are heard and valued, creating a dynamic and equitable learning environment.
A milestone worth celebrating
