MPhil in Strategy, Marketing & Operations

at Cambridge Judge Business School

You are required to complete nine modules, covering research methodology, foundation courses, and research seminars on cognate subjects. Apart from taught research courses, you may also do a short, 5,000-word individual research project in lieu of one module. This typically takes place towards the end of the programme, and can only be approved if a faculty member commits to act as supervisor. 
 

If you are taking either the Strategic Management or the Organisational Behaviour specialisation and have a well-developed research proposal, you can take six modules instead of nine, and write a 12,000-word dissertation (which carries a weight equivalent to three modules), working closely with a faculty member on your research topic. Students wishing to do a dissertation would need to submit a dissertation proposal to the MPhil in Strategy, Marketing & Operations Programme Director by early Michaelmas Term. Dissertations can only be approved if a faculty member commits to act as supervisor. If you wish to do a dissertation we strongly encourage you to contact prospective supervisors during the summer and develop your dissertation proposal jointly with the supervising faculty.
