We require a first-class or a strong upper second-class honours degree on the UK grading scale or international equivalent or 65% or above from universities who use a percentage scale.
Successful applicants to our EMBA programmes are typically established senior executives with management responsibilities (teams, resources, budgets and/or projects). You must have strong leadership potential and a clear motivation for applying to an executive programme. We are especially interested in the professional skills you’ve developed, and how the Cambridge and Global EMBA will accelerate your development.
You’ll need to demonstrate your employment status when you apply for one of our EMBA programmes. You’re also expected to keep working full-time while you study so you apply what you learn and share your experiences with classmates.
We welcome applications from contractors and consultants. You’ll need to show evidence of employment as a condition of your offer.
