Detailed requirements
Professional experience
Executive MBA applicants must have a minimum of seven years' full-time, post-undergraduate work experience, including strong management experience. Managerial experience can include managing people, projects, budgets and/or resources. The admissions committee is especially interested in the professional skills you've developed during your career, and how the Executive MBA will complement and accelerate your career development.
Applicants must demonstrate their employment status when applying for the programme. You are expected to continue working full-time whilst undertaking the Executive MBA, providing opportunities both for real-time transfer of learning and for the sharing of professional experiences with fellow students.
Contractors and consultants are welcome to apply, but please note that you will need to show evidence of your employment as a condition of your offer, should your application be successful.
Academic achievement
The Cambridge Executive MBA is an intellectually demanding 20-month programme. You must have a good undergraduate degree from a recognised university. The precise qualification may vary, but as a general guide we require the equivalent of a first-class or good upper-second-class honours in the British system, or 65 per cent and above for universities who provide percentage grades.
Check that your degree meets our requirements
Scanned copies of your degree transcripts and certificates (both undergraduate and postgraduate where applicable) must be attached to your application when you apply for the programme. If your transcripts are not in English, you must have these translated and verified by an official source (e.g an official translator or the British Council).
GMAT/Executive Assessment
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Executive Assessment (EA) demonstrates your preparedness for re-entering a rigorous academic environment at Cambridge. If you did not achieve a First or 2:1 in your undergraduate degree (or international equivalent), you will need to take the GMAT or EA and submit your score within your application for it to be considered. All waivers are reviewed by the Admissions Committee and at least one EMBA faculty member. This is done at both pre-interview and post-interview application review.

The GMAT is just one of a range of criteria on which admissions decisions are based, and a high GMAT score is no guarantee of being offered a place on the programme.
Two references
You need to ask two referees to complete online reference forms. You should ask for references from your line manager or direct supervisor, and a colleague with whom you work closely. We cannot accept a reference from a relative. We learn a great deal about your background and potential through letters of reference, so please select your referees carefully and tell them how important it is that they provide as comprehensive a reference as possible. They should know your strengths and weaknesses well, and be in a position to comment on you objectively.
English proficiency requirement
Fluency in English is a pre-requisite for the Cambridge Executive MBA it is important that you can read, write and speak and understand English fluently.
If English is not your first language you must provide us with evidence of your fluency in English.
We require you to provide test results that meet the requirements of one of the tests listed below. Your results must be from a test taken in the two years prior to starting the programme.
- TOEFL - 110, with no element below 25.
- IELTS - average of 7.5, with no element below 7.0.
If you scored 7.0 on IELTS or between 100 and 109 on TOEFL, and you feel that you are a strong candidate, you are also welcome to apply. However, we reserve the right to ask you to retake the test to improve your test scores if it is felt that your English is not of a sufficient standard.
We ask you to self-report your scores on the application form. If you are invited for an interview, we will ask you to bring the original English language test certificates with you.

Who is the programme for?
The Cambridge Executive Masters of Business Administration (EMBA) is a 20 month programme delivered over 16 weekends and four week-long blocks, most of which are at Cambridge Judge Business School. It is designed specifically for executives who have already reached a senior level and are now looking at leading roles within their organisations. The programme develops both hard and soft skills and provides practical, relevant knowledge to enable participants to play a leading role in their organisation.
Programme objectives
Through a collaborative ethos – the core value of the Cambridge EMBA - the aim is to produce graduates who:
- are skilled in the practice of management and core business principles
- are able to apply these skills within a global context
- are equipped to lead, build and manage enterprises that create value for stakeholders and constituencies in a dynamic, global economy
- demonstrate intellectual rigour
- are able to demonstrate an entrepreneurial mindset to enable and facilitate innovation within an organisation.
It is a highly practical programme - the Team Consulting Project (TCP) and International Business Study Trip (IBST) ensure that the Cambridge EMBA is relevant and at the leading edge of global business developments. Elective courses and Individual Projects allow participants to customise their programme to suit their needs, interests and current/future employment aims.
A programme architecture that fits you
The programme has been designed to fit in with the busy schedules of senior executives. It does not require significant blocks of time away from your organisation. In addition to a relevant academic curriculum, participants learn and engage with a powerful, diverse network of professionals within their EMBA cohort and which forms the backbone of the Cambridge EMBA experience.
The programme is delivered over 16 weekends and four week-long blocks over a 20-month period, making it a feasible commitment for the busiest professionals. It is a demanding schedule, but the coursework involved is designed to complement your organisational responsibilities, as the programme encourages you to apply what you learn to your own role and organisation. The weekend format ensures that you can maintain a work-life balance and family responsibilities alongside your study schedule.
Between study periods in Cambridge, participants are fully supported and engaged in the programme through the Virtual Learning Environment, our online learning platform.
A powerful peer network
Class members are carefully selected based on their potential, experience and skillset. As an EMBA participant, you will be exposed to a powerful, diverse peer group that will challenge, stimulate and often surprise you.
The programme offers the opportunity for you to network with peers in your cohort and with the Cambridge Judge Business School community. You will also have access to the huge networking potential of the wider University: its students, academics and alumni. EMBA participants benefit from unparalleled opportunities to engage with and learn from innovators, entrepreneurs and business leaders who contribute to the programme as guest speakers, mentors and coaches.
Practical, relevant learning
The Cambridge Executive MBA programme sets high academic standards. At the same time, our faculty takes a hands-on approach to management issues, inviting business leaders and thinkers into the programme to work with participants on real-world issues.
To accommodate all learning styles we offer a range of approaches including: classroom sessions, workshops, seminars, case study discussions, interactive classes and team and individual projects. Our collaborative approach is also reflected in the Virtual Learning Environment where teaching and learning also takes place.
Our curriculum is designed to be applicable and relevant to the participants' work, both now and in the future. Weekend sessions will allow participants to return to work the next week with fresh insights and skills which can be implemented immediately.
The ability to collaborate effectively is at the heart of business success and the Cambridge EMBA encourages this approach during both classes and projects. Participants work in international teams to test and apply their new skills in the business world.
The programme is supported by a virtual learning environment (VLE), which hosts course materials, discussions and assignment support, and allows participants to communicate with tutors, staff and fellow participants. The VLE is particularly important between study periods in Cambridge; participants are supported and engaged in the programme via the VLE, meaning they can be 'at Cambridge' even when at home.
A global education in one location
Our programme delivers a global business education, conveniently delivered principally in one location within easy reach of the UK's principal airports.
Cambridge is a globally renowned seat of learning, attracting students and faculty from across the world. Participants regularly travel from China, East and West Coast USA, China, Russia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Australia, as well as from across Europe.
We do teach part of the programme outside the UK and some of our participants choose to undertake their Team Consulting Project in a third country - but essentially the world comes to Cambridge to deliver this programme.
Lifelong learning
After graduation, the Cambridge EMBA continues to equip its alumni with the knowledge and skills to become more effective managers and leaders.
EMBA graduates can return to Cambridge to take one elective a year alongside current EMBA participants. This is a valuable opportunity for alumni to keep abreast of the latest research and thinking, catch up with former classmates and make new connections across the EMBA alumni network.

申请项目:Executive MBA
申请经验分享
从大一开始准备留学，辗转几十年如愿，留学，其实什么时间起航都不晚，职场历练，辗转再回到校园，跨专业申请剑桥大学MBA项目，其实是对未来有了更加清晰的规划和理解，更明白自己想要什么，这样的出发未来必然硕果累累，这就是我们今天申请案例的主角L同学。毕业学校：同济大学本科专业：工业工程申请项目：MBAGPA：88.18/100托福：104使用服务：一站式留学服务WordSunny明星导师：Bowen、Rob、Mark lv 同学在19申请季，斩获了剑桥大学MBA的Offer!我一口气选择了3位不同背景，但是都非常优秀的导师。组成了一个颇为“豪华”的“申请天团”。顺利拿到了满意的Offer。为什么选择留学：本科毕业的时候我申请到了CMU的ISM项目，但是因为个人的一些原因放弃了，当时确实比较纠结，但是结合了自己的职业规划之后，还是决定先去四大这种比较大的平台强化一下自己的背景。这几年在工作上面花的时间比较多，有了一个相对清晰的职业规划。“好的投资人不是5年内能有多高回报，而是在20-30年内有长期、稳定的回报。”这是我入行PE时，合伙人对我说的一句话。这句话令我印象深刻，也是在深刻的影响着我的职业生涯，更重要的是，这也是激励我从工作中在回到校园，潜心学习研究。and apply the latestfinaicial tools and frameworks learned from lse to my future professionalendeavors .为什么选择WordSunny?在我决定要重返校园的时候，我先是了解了传统的留学中介，觉得模式不是很适合我。后来在网上搜索到WordSunny，觉得导师的背景很好，并且价格也透明。项目什么的都写的很清楚，我可以按我自己的需要自己选择服务项目，很自由，而且搭配组合起来很实惠，我很喜欢这种给予了学生知情权和选择权的高自由度服务。当然，还有平台上的导师资源，真的很丰富，我甚至可以“奢侈”的选择了3位不同背景的导师帮助我申请(国外的导师和国内的优秀留学生前辈都有)。我很幸运遇见了他们，顺利的拿到了剑桥的Offer。我的申请之路关于选校我本身是在金融领域做投资方向的，所以我申请的MBA，包括金融硕士，对我未来的工作的提升是有很大的帮助的，包括学校的品牌，会对我之后的职业生涯发展带来很多的便利和资源。所以我在选校的时候，首先关注的是学校的品牌，我想去一个相对知名的学校，这样无论是学习经历还是学校资源都对未来很有帮助。再一个就是我非常倾向于英国的学校，因为英国的教育背景非常强大，尤其是商科教育上升的快，尤其是知名的院校一点不比美国的差。同时英国的是一年制硕士，我可以较快的速度拿到学位，这实际上是对我职业生涯的一个加速，所以我觉得非常适合我。在与WordSunny的申请导师交流的过程中，我也了解到了很多目标院校的真实情况。像是LBS,伦敦商学院，牛津剑桥的老师，他们知道这个学校的优势劣势，包括学校的就业资源等等都给了我很好的解答。当然，导师的毕竟是建议，自己心里也一定要有一个评估，哪个最适合自己，结合自己未来的规划。我自己的话就比较激进了，只申请了两所学校，一所是剑桥，一所是LBS。我的情况不适用于所有人，大家要结合自己的情况，理论上来说，申请的多，成功的几率也会大一些。最重要的是要好好准备，对这个学校了解清楚，分析好自己的优劣势。关于跨专业申请我本科读的是工程专业，本科毕业时直接接触到的就是金融领域，但是对于很多跨专业申请者而言，没有相关的经历应该如何申请呢，对于跨专业申请的学弟学妹们，我有一些建议：跨专业申请要分两面看，它既是优势，当然也会有一些挑战，对于申请商科来说，你不仅仅是要有商业知识，你也要有一些关于行业的认识，对于科技发展的看法。中国的经济发展的很快，有很多创新的科研成果，商业成果，但是这些成果很多思基于工程建立起来的。所以如果你的背景都是工科，你在申请的时候可以突出你这方面的背景优势，总结自己对于这些技术的理解，这对于自己来说也是一个反思和提升的过程。另外一点是关于挑战。挑战就是说你怎么能够说服人家，你在商科方面也能够非常成功。这就要看你的学术能力了，你的GPA，语言成绩，文书等。其实商科没什么难的地方，它不像工科，物理学等，只要你很喜欢，很投入，有很清晰的职业规划，商科对于任何人来说都是可以的。关于文书对于文书，我更倾向于自己写，然后老师给到一些建议或提一些问题，包括语言上的润色，这里我觉得我的文书导师Rob，对我的帮助非常大。导师真的很棒，他本身就是芝大的招生官，对申请非常了解，也有一些“独家内部策略”。而且他作为土生土长的美国人，英语是他的母语，所以对于我文书的语言，他真的是帮了我大忙。最棒的是，这位导师在中国也工作过多年，还从事过语言培训，他很了解中国，跟他沟通，真的一点障碍都没有，这点我很喜欢。给学弟学妹们的建议我自己是大一就开始准备留学了，准备了好几十年才去~~(笑)。所以我不一定是一个特别好的典型案例，但是如果你能够把自己的大学时间利用的再充分一些，是再好不过的。一方面是读书，另一方面是在大学中参加各种社团，实习等。这些都可以丰富你的人生经历。你的经历越丰富，你就越有机会。早点努力，尽量把自己的GPA提升到一个很好的档次，找到适合自己的项目，然后坚持不懈的努力呗~~说到这里，桑尼插播一下，剑桥的MBA是一个非常棒的项目。《金融时报》2017年全球MBA排行榜上，剑桥大学商学院排名全球第5。《彭博商业周刊》2016年全球MBA排行榜上，剑桥大学商学院名列美国以外的商学院全球第4。《泰晤士高等教育》2016年全球大学商业经济领域排行榜上，剑桥大学紧随哈佛大学、西北大学，专业排名全球第7，领先于宾夕法尼亚大学、哥伦比亚大学、麻省理工学院和耶鲁大学。《QS世界大学排名》2016年全球大学商业管理领域榜上，剑桥大学紧随宾夕法尼亚大学、麻省理工学院，专业排名全球第7，领先于牛津大学、耶鲁大学和芝加哥大学。专业排名《金融时报》2018年全球MBA排行榜上，剑桥MBA课程全球排名第13，英国排名第1。《金融时报》调查数据显示：剑桥大学MBA入学前平均年薪$78904美元，MBA毕业生三年后平均年薪 $156323美元，EMBA毕业生三年后平均年薪 $208539美元，是最值得入读的商学院之一。剑桥大学2016年官方就业报告，其MBA毕业生95%的学生在毕业三个月之内找到理想的工作。94%的MBA毕业生在就业国家、工作职位和所属行业上有所变化。几乎所有顶尖的跨国公司如麦肯锡，波士顿咨询，高盛、瑞银、花旗银行、德意志银行、巴克莱银行、谷歌，亚马逊等，都会来剑桥大学商学院招聘。留学什么时间都不算晚，跨专业也不一定很难，重要的是你准备好出发了吗？
