Frequently asked questions
Do you need a GMAT for the Cambridge MPhil in Management?
No — neither the GMAT nor the GRE is required, and the school states a score will not strengthen your application. Entry is a UK First Class Honours degree (or overseas equivalent) in a subject other than business or management, achieved within the last year, plus strong English (IELTS 7.5 overall with no element below 7.0, or TOEFL 110 overall with no element below 25). No work experience is required; the programme is built for recent graduates.
Who is the Cambridge MPhil in Management for?
It is a conversion course for recent graduates from non-business disciplines who are preparing to enter management and business and want a management foundation first. Two eligibility points make it distinctive: your undergraduate degree must be in a subject other than business or management, and you must apply within a maximum of one year since you graduated. That makes it a true pre-experience Master in Management aimed at early-career talent, not at people with significant work experience.
