MSt in Entrepreneurship - MSt
The Master of Studies in Entrepreneurship (MStE) is an academic programme focussed on developing impact on the world through the practice of entrepreneurship.
The MStE programme combines in-person and online teaching with hands-on workshops and seminars by industry practitioners and subject matter experts to provide the knowledge and skills to effectively pursue one's entrepreneurial ambitions. The combination of a rigorous academic curriculum and a learning-by-doing approach is facilitated by mentors, industry practitioners and peers, providing a richer learning experience. Our cohort ranges from nascent to experienced entrepreneurs and includes some intrapreneurs who reside in more established businesses but seek to instil more entrepreneurial actions into their companies. Our nascent entrepreneurs seek to give their businesses the best chance of success by learning from those who have come before them. Our more experienced entrepreneurs may have achieved substantial success already, yet still crave a deeper understanding of the drivers of success.
Our students come from diverse backgrounds and have various objectives. However, they are all connected by a common desire to learn from each other, take responsible action and contribute to a special community of entrepreneurs at Cambridge Judge Business School.

In recognition of the fact that social innovation cuts across sectors and types of organisations, the programme is aimed at middle and senior-level leaders operating in all sectors of the economy – including corporate, public bodies, NGOs and social ventures – who wish to build on their experience and expertise to collaborate with others to create social change.
Strategy, Marketing and Operations - MPhil
The MPhil in Strategy, Marketing and Operations prepares students without prior research experience for PhD-level research in the fields of strategic management, marketing, operations, or organisational behaviour.

For the Organisational Behaviour specialisation, someone with a Psychology degree would also be acceptable as long as they did well in their undergraduate statistics courses.

The MPhil addresses key societal challenges such as how to stimulate the development of new technologies, how to make technology choices, and how to regulate unintended consequences of technical change. The aim of the programme is to produce future leaders in policy-making institutions or businesses which interact closely with government and the science base in innovation.
