The MRes in Management Studies is offered by Cambridge Judge Business School as a full-time period of study and research, during which students with experience at master's level will receive training in research methods and the foundations of their chosen discipline. The goal of the MRes programme is to lay the foundations that will enable students to contribute to the academic debate in their discipline through publications in leading journals, which they will develop during their PhD.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the programme, students will have:
- Gained knowledge of research methods used in management research.
- Developed strong awareness of the current academic debates in their chosen discipline, and knowledge of the underlying theories of management.
- Gained practical knowledge of management research through close supervision of their dissertation project
- Developed strong methodological expertise across a spectrum of research areas and the ability to apply these methodologies as part of the dissertation research project.
- Developed a strong awareness of the imperative of societal impact with management research, through a dissertation.
- Gained auxiliary professional skills, e.g. communication skills, presentation skills, writing skills, research project management skills, literature review skills.
Continuing
In order to continue to the PhD, MRes students are required to achieve at least a 70 per cent overall average and also achieve at least 70 per cent in the dissertation element (where the overall average includes the dissertation). Note that, as for all Cambridge PhDs, the first year of the PhD (the year after the MRes) is still probationary and students will be required to pass a first-year assessment.
Visit the PhD in Management Studies page for further information on the first-year of the PhD programme.
Open Days
The Postgraduate Virtual Open Day usually takes place at the end of October. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions to admissions staff and academics, explore the Colleges virtually, and to find out more about courses, the application process and funding opportunities.
