Our major capstone project incorporates the practical application of concepts developed on the programme:
Overview
During Lent and Easter terms you undertake a final capstone project in groups of 3 or more students. The Final Group Project (FGP), which is double-weighted, is linked to Cambridge Judge Business School’s subject groups and is based on work with a public or private technology-intensive organisation.
Assessment is comprised of delivery of a final presentation to the client organisation and a 12,000-word final report produced under faculty supervision.
You may be required to submit peer evaluation forms for the duration of the project. Feedback from your peers as well as that of the client organisation may be taken into consideration when determining your final mark for the project.
Past projects have involved a range of leading public and private sector organisations from around the world and many of these projects have been hosted by our alumni. A sample of project client organisations from the past few years includes:
