Application submission
Submit your application form online
We’ll ask you some short questions to gauge your entrepreneurial experience and past ventures, as well as your goals for the future and what you hope to get out of the course. You’ll need to provide two referees, ideally one academic and one professional, and you will need to upload certificates or transcripts of previous courses you’ve completed.
Applications will only be considered if they are complete and contain all elements, including references and transcripts. The fee to apply is £50.
Fraudulent applications
The University of Cambridge takes robust action against admissions fraud. If we find that fake documents or false information has been submitted, we will withdraw the application and any others made by the same person.
Interview
Shortlisted candidates are invited for a video interview
You’ll be invited for a video interview, if we think you’re a good fit. This will be with the Programme Director or another faculty member and is designed to further gauge your fit for the programme.
Conditional offer
Successful candidates receive a conditional offer letter
If your application has been successful, you’ll receive an offer letter by the Registry Manager of the Institute of Continuing Education. This might come with conditions, such as:
- Financial, proving that you have the funds to pay for the programme.
- Language-related, proving that your English language skills are proficient.
- Academic, requiring submission of original documents.
It is your responsibility to meet these requirements and provide the necessary evidence.
College membership

Every student of the Master of Studies in Entrepreneurship will be assigned membership to one of the Colleges of the University of Cambridge. You can state a preference for your choice of College on the application form.
You may choose from the following Colleges:
- King’s College

While your preference will be considered, the decision lies with the College and we can’t guarantee that you will be accepted into the College of your choice. The programme manager will request membership on your behalf.
Unconditional offer
Progress to unconditional offer
This is the final stage of the applications process. Once you have met all the conditions of your admission and have the offer of a College place, you will be notified that you may begin your programme at the start of the academic year.
