We are delighted to share our MBA 2023/24 destinations data.
The persistent global political and economic uncertainty led corporations to reduce their recruitment targets last year. Additional global shocks added to this uncertainty, further hindering recruitment efforts and causing delays in hiring processes.
We are pleased to report that 83% of those seeking employment secured full time positions within 4 months of graduation. This achievement highlights their adaptability in navigating a complex and evolving global landscape.
We are particularly proud of the strides our students have made in achieving their career goals, even in challenging times. Of those who changed countries from their pre-MBA roles, 75% have chosen to continue their careers in the UK.
The past year saw a notable shift in sector preferences. Consulting experienced a slower recovery, leading to a significant movement towards industry sectors such as technology, energy, and healthcare. Technology emerged as the leading sector, attracting 31% of the class, with Google and TikTok among the most prominent recruiters. Almost a third of the class entered the finance sector, with venture capital and private equity proving to be the dominant sub-sectors.
The Cambridge MBA is built on 3 key pillars:
- collaborative learning, which fosters teamwork and the interpersonal skills essential for effective leadership
- an academically rigorous curriculum, equipping students with the technical and analytical competencies needed to tackle complex business challenges
- experiential learning, offering hands on experience through live client projects.
This holistic approach ensures that our graduates develop both professionally and personally, preparing them to thrive in dynamic global markets.
We take great pride in our students’ career transitions, their achievements, and the values they uphold. Their ambition, integrity, and respect for one another set them apart. We look forward to following their careers and continuing to support them as they excel and lead as distinguished alumni of Cambridge Judge Business School.
