Cambridge Judge Business School’s 20 month Executive MBA programmes are designed so you can continue working while earning a degree from the University of Cambridge.
- The Cambridge Executive MBA is delivered over 16 weekends and 4 week-long sessions, spread across 5 terms. The Cambridge Ecosystem in June 2024 is optional and would require an extra 3 days out of the office.
- The Global Executive MBA is delivered over week-long blocks, 4 of which are in Cambridge and 2 overseas, and 11 blocks of 3 half-days live online (ie 33 half-days with live online teaching).
Participants are fully supported and engaged in the programme through our online learning platform.
The weekend format suits my circumstances perfectly… one morning I’m running on the Gold Coast, the next morning I’m running in Cambridge.
