Cambridge Judge Business School attracts students of the highest calibre from around the globe to its world-class programmes. Our student consultancy projects offer partners from industry, government and not-for-profit organisations the opportunity to access this exceptional pool of talent.

Consultancy projects have become the cornerstone of a number of our programmes. They give our students invaluable experience of working as a consultant on a challenging management issue, and the opportunity to apply their knowledge in the real world. Our partner organisations benefit from fresh insights, commitment and intellectual rigour being brought to bear on a management issue that they have themselves identified. Over the years our students have helped us to build an enviable reputation for delivering results of real value to our project partners. Leading organisations in many fields now collaborate with us, with new partnerships continually being developed.
