A management environment
No undergraduate business degree by itself can teach someone how to be a competent manager: that comes with experience, and then further education. What Management Studies enables you to do is to study the subjects relevant to management and the environment in which the manager operates, whilst still a full-time student.
You develop a sound understanding of the fundamentals of management and various aspects of management practice, as well as gain practical experience in a real-life context.
You acquire the skills that a good manager needs, including the ability to apply critical analysis to management issues and an awareness of the responsibilities of managers in an economic, social and environmental context.
A stimulating environment
The Cambridge Judge Business School is responsible for Management Studies, and provides library and computing facilities for both carrying out coursework and preparing papers and presentations.
However, amongst the most stimulating resources on the course are your fellow students: they come from different subject areas and have contrasting strengths, enabling you to learn from each other.
