The Cambridge experience

“The MPhil in Technology Policy allowed me to acquire a perfect combination of skills. My engineering background was supplemented with a very good understanding of the environment, in which technologies are used. The knowledge about innovations and bringing it to the market is extremely valuable for me in running a small technology start-up. I currently also work for a big telecommunications company, where I take advantage of TP skills such as negotiations and project management.

“The Cambridge spirit is not a myth, and after some time spent there you begin to understand why this is one of the greatest places in the world to learn. Cambridge is a magnet for inspiring people, and such are the professors at Cambridge Judge Business School. I much appreciated their openness and commitment to teaching.”

Extraordinary memories and unforgettable friendships

“Your co-students matter a lot during such practical programmes as the MPhil in Technology Policy. My cohort was very diverse, both geographically and in terms of their background; hence we got a unique opportunity to learn from each other. This was truly a year full of extraordinary memories and a time to make unforgettable friendships.”
