It is one year that will last you a lifetime.

MPhil in Finance. The Cambridge MPhil in Finance is a nine month programme, providing a strong academic background for those aiming for a career in Finance, Financial Accounting, or Financial Engineering. A sister programme, the MPhil in Financial Research, shares many courses with the MPhil in Finance, and is the normal route to a PhD in these subjects.
As an MPhil in Finance student, you will be a life member of a Cambridge college and a graduate student at one of the oldest and most prestigous universities in the world. The University of Cambridge has more Nobel Prize winners than any other institution world-wide, and has a large and influential network of alumni in over 74 countries.
The Cambridge MPhil in Finance is an established programme, now in its seventeenth year. It is jointly taught by staff of Judge Business School (one of the top Business Schools in Europe), the Faculty of Economics (the cradle of modern economics; with many Nobel Prize winners), and the Faculty of Mathematics (whose ancestry goes back to Isaac Newton, and whose faculty have won numerous Fields Medals and Nobel Prizes). The programme is therefore distinctive as it offers you the rare opportunity to be associated with up to three world-class Cambridge faculties.

MPhil in Financial Research. The Cambridge MPhil in Financial Research is a nine month programme combining advanced study and research. It is designed for students who wish to extend their knowledge of Finance, Financial Accounting, or Financial Engineering. It is the recommended and most common route to a PhD degree in one of these subjects. In such cases, the MPhil in Financial Research would count as the first year of the PhD. A sister programme, the MPhil in Finance, shares many courses with the MPhil in Financial Research, and provides a strong academic background for those aiming for a career in finance.

MPhil in Innovation, Strategy and Organisation. Starting in early October, the MPhil in Innovation, Strategy and Organisation is an intensive nine months' masters programme combining advanced study and research. It comprises one module for each of these areas in addition to training in research methodology, a dissertation, and an additional course. This interdisciplinary programme is designed and delivered by faculty in the Human Resources & Organisations, Strategy & Marketing, and Operations, Information & Technology subject groups.
The programme explores innovation and change through three interconnecting themes: innovation and work practices, innovation and strategic change, and new organisational forms. Research methodology and a substantial dissertation form part of the programme. The optional course enables participants to attend courses in other Cambridge faculties such as the Social and Political Science, Anthropology, and the History and Philosophy of Science, further emphasising the interdisciplinary spirit of the programme.

MPhil in Management. The MPhil in Management is a taught Masters' programme which offers new and recent graduates of any subject (except those with a single honours or major degree in business or management) a thorough grounding in management. Students admitted will normally have a First Class Honours degree or its equivalent but are not expected to have extensive work experience.The MPhil is conceived of as a graduate conversion course which will prepare students for a professional career. It does, nevertheless, set high academic and intellectual standards, being based upon the latest academic research in the field. The normal expectation is that graduates of the MPhil will wish to seek a professional career in management, but it may occasionally be that, subject to acceptance and to 3 further years of study, graduates may undertake research for a PhD. Students wishing to do so must apply for the PhD programme in the normal way and should note that there is no research or research training component on this MPhil. The philosophy behind the programme is that whilst effective management requires experience, a good grounding in academic knowledge is an invaluable prerequisite for a managerial career. Because management involves such a wide array of skills, from the mathematical to the human, the MPhil in Management demands excellence across a wide range of applied disciplines.

MPhil in Management Science. Management Science, a field of management also known under the name Operations Research, is a cross-functional discipline that is concerned with the design and management of complex systems. The discipline is largely defined through its use of mathematical and computational modelling as its primary methodology to gain an understanding of systems and achieve improvements in them. The key issues that Management Scientists wrestle with are uncertainty, change and optimal choice. In a nutshell, Management Scientists build and use mathematical and computer models to help to make good decisions in a complex, dynamic and uncertain world.

MPhil in Technology Policy. The MPhil in Technology Policy provides students with backgrounds in Engineering or Science with the knowledge and skills required to provide competent leadership in the development and deployment of technology. The emphasis of this programme is on dual competency, offering students the opportunity to enhance their knowledge in purely technical areas while teaching them to think beyond such considerations by giving them the tools to manage its implementation in wider socio-economic, regulatory and administrative contexts.
