What is Required for the Application Process?
Applicants must have at least a 2:1 Honours degree or an equivalent standard from an overseas institution and a minimum of two years’ work experience by the start of the intake for which the candidate applies. A visa is required to study in the UK for all non-EU nationals. It is advised that applicants have financing prepared prior to the application process.
The application must include one reference from a supervisor, which will be automatically sent to the referee indicated on the application form. Applicants must submit GMAT or GRE scores, responses to essay questions, and the £165 application fee.
When does Cambridge Judge Issue Invitations to Interview?
Based on LiveWire reports, applicants have been invited to interview at Cambridge Judge Business School within three to six weeks of the respective deadline, sometimes faster in later rounds. Interviews may be conducted on campus or virtually. Cambridge Judge also hosts a Virtual Interview Day during each round. For the 2026-2027 admissions season, these special days land on: September 25th, November 6th, February 12th, April 16th and May 28th. During a given Virtual Interview Day experience, interviewees meet the MBA admissions team, connect with the careers team, network with fellow interview candidates, and hear directly from current students and alumni in a dedicated Q&A panel.
The Admissions Committee will notify candidates of a conditional offer within three weeks of their interview date. Admissions must be informed of a candidate’s decision within three weeks, and if accepted, a commitment of 15% of the program fee and a financial guarantee that the costs of the program can be paid are required before an unconditional offer is extended.
