Cambridge Judge Business School General Management Certificate of Achievement

Your learning journey

One of the pedagogical aims of the GMCA is to enable participants to develop a broad general management perspective. We ask that you try to select programmes from at least three different topic areas and a minimum of three programmes:

• Leadership
• Managing People
• Managing Organisations
• Strategy & Growth
• Innovation & Technology
• Marketing
• Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

Please visit the Open Programmes calendar for an up-to-date list of scheduled open programmes.

If you are unsure which of our programmes are most suited to your needs we can advise you on the best options available to you to assist you with your decision. 

If you would prefer a more intensive programme of learning, we recommend our two-week Cambridge General Management Programme, which provides an understanding of the concepts and fundamental principles in key management disciplines, and how to apply them to improve decision-making within your organisation.
