“For me the greatest value came from the makeup of the cohort itself. Exchanging ideas, perspectives and experiences with some of the brightest young minds has opened my mind and changed the way I look at the world.”
“It was great to be given a real-life assignment which involved client meetings, presenting a solution to the given problem and competitor research. Through this particular module, I was able to broaden my work experience to include technology consulting.”
“The Final Group Project is a great eye-opener to anyone who might wish to consider economic development, policy, or consultancy work for their career. The project assignment presents many of the same challenges: management of client expectations, development of a methodology, collection of data, long hours, on-site visits and interviews with stakeholders, the drafting of a detailed report, and then the presentation and defence your findings.”
“I have a passion for technology and the industrial and business adventure that comes with it. This is exactly what the MPhil in Technology Policy offers, with its blend of courses and electives that successfully exploits synergies between a business school and an engineering department.”
“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.”
“The Final Group Project taught me about the realities of consultancy, but it was also a wonderful three months of exploring a topic both intellectually and pragmatically.”
“My time in Cambridge was an amazing combination of challenging and open-minding experiences. In one short sentence, a fantastic glimpse of the future.”
“A wonderful part of the programme was the trip to Brussels and Luxembourg to visit the European Commission and other EU institutions, where we attended a passionate parliamentary debate on the future of Europe.”
“I believe that through the MPhil in Technology Policy I have made an excellent investment in terms of developing key skills to advise government, universities and industry at the highest level.”
“The teaching team consists of members from very diverse cultural and professional backgrounds. They generously and passionately share with us their knowledge, experience, and professional network. The classes were always highly interactive, full of thought-provoking and inspirational discussions.”
“The assignments complemented our learning through engaging essay topics stemming from our interest to the subject matter, while the quick personalised feedback from the marked assignments provided us with improvement opportunities for the next task on hand.”
“The connections I’ve forged here at Cambridge and the real-world applicability of content has allowed me to direct the transformative impact of technology towards the delivery of more thoughtfully designed policies.”
“I found the perfect programme for me in Cambridge, which is such a stunning and unique place. I had the flexibility to take courses in policy-making and strategic enterprise management and innovation to better understand the interaction between them.”
“I really appreciate the help I received from our lecturers and programme administrator during that one year’s highly intensive programme. Thanks to their guidance and help in all aspects, I could focus on my studies, and fully utilise every resource from Cambridge.”
“The Consulting Project was a great opportunity for me to work with classmates from diverse professional and academic backgrounds, as well as to get involved in real-world problem-solving in the industry.”
“The structure of the programme is such that you interact with business and academic leaders, visit parliaments and participate in cohort get-togethers, which make the whole experience very memorable.”
