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 2025-2026 admissions season, these special days land on: September 26th, November 7th, February 13th, April 24th and May 29th. 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.

Hi All,
Location: India YOE:2.8 yrs Industry: Software Role: Senior software developer
I have been working in a software Mnc and recently got fired. I had initially planned to apply for MBA programs for 2027 intake. But given the recent layoff I'm not sure what to do next. I didn't yet take the gmat. And confused if I should do a job hunt now or prepare for gmat, since I wanted to apply for round 1s by sep.
I definitely want to go for a good International MBA for 2027 intake.
What should I do next, follow are the choices I can think of-
1. Prepare for a good gmat score, finish it in next 2-3 months, I also have a small startup idea that I would like to in parallel experiment/try out, not sure how far it will succeed.
2. Prepare for gmat, complete in next 2-3 months then do job hunt(might or might not be able to get a job by the time I apply for round 1s)
Please suggest what is better for my mba applications.
