News about the EMBA

"We’re no longer asking for a seat — we’re building new tables.” That powerful sentiment from Dr Monica Wirz, Visiting Fellow at Cambridge Judge Business School, captured the spirit of a memorable event in London that reunited 4 top UK business schools to champion gender parity in Executive MBA (EMBA) programmes.

In 2013, Cambridge Judge commissioned Dr Monica Wirz to investigate why far fewer women applied to its Executive MBA programme. Her findings prompted targeted scholarships, policy changes, enhanced recruitment and teaching measures to support female candidates. 12 years on, the Business School is revisiting those original questions to assess progress and refine its approach to fostering gender equity in leadership.
