Mphil Management Cambridge 2016/2017

I was wondering if they even sent out any rejections - everyone is either waiting or offered a place....

I am currently in the MPhil in Management for the 2015/6 year. I would not choose the programme unless you are looking to spend a year at Cambridge because it's Cambridge- many of the students have struggled to find good work in competitive markets and the program is very rigorous in relation to its relatively poor placement. Feel free to ask me anything you wish and I'll be honest with you.

Do you think the two-year LSE management course is worthier then (if you know anything about that course)?

Hello! I would like to ask about the programme's content in general, like the methods of teaching or it's more practical or theorical. And can you extend your opinion on its 'rigorousness'? Thank you in advance!

Content: Accounting, Marketing, Strategy, Finance, Quantitative Techniques for Management, Consulting project, Organizational Behavior, Operations Management, Business Economics plus 2 electives. Electives this year included: Valuation, Human Resources, Business in the Digital Age, Supply Chain, Ethics, and a couple of others.

With the exception of a couple, the lecturers I had in undergraduate were much better than the instruction I have received for the MPhil. Many of the lecturers are lecturers who are not even teaching the MBAs. The instruction is that everything from the classroom quality to teacher quality is sub-par to the MBAs. You're paying good money, but the professors are not even the same as the MBAs. A couple of the lecturers have been downright awful and really unable to communicate in clear English.

Content: A mix of practical and theoretical. Accounting was quite practical for accounting; Business Economics, on the other hand is exclusively theoretical. It really depends on the module.

Rigour: 20% of the class fail one, two or all of finance, accounting and quant. So, the exams are actually challenging. There are plenty of projects that will keep you very busy. Attendance is taken at every class. So don't take the program unless you want a seriously challenging experience. One of the frustrating things is that students are expected to work very, very hard while the quality of instruction is relatively low.

HI, does anyone know if I can call straight to the MPhil Management team? My scholarship board is asking me about the application, i'm afraid if i don't give them a reply they will not provide me with the scholarship

Interesting and slightly concerning feedback to somebody thinking about applying for this course next year.

Do you mind me asking where you did your undergraduate studies?

Also which subjects do you do in which terms for the M. Phil - does it build sequentially?

Are these fail rates for your 15-16 cohort or are these figures that are bandied around by the department, how are they disclosed? Do students get the opportunity to resit?

I find it surprising that lecturers wouldn't be able to communicate in clear English - do the non-native English speakers find it difficult to understand or is it the general consensus?

Congrats!! When did you apply?

Received a conditional offer last week after being in BoGS for two weeks. Extremely thrilled! Hope to become classmates with you guys cheers

Hey Congratulations!

Do you know why you were in BofGS for so long?

What sort of conditions did they impose on your offer?

Hey thanks! I guess this is the 'peak season' where majority of the offers across all disciplines are given out simultaneously so it could get quite taxing on the administrative staff, at least that's what I think of it

They asked for a 1.1, to sign a financial undertaking form, and also to have a college membership (which is guaranteed).
