Cambridge Executive Education located at the heart of the University of Cambridge and closely aligned with Cambridge Judge Business School, has been going from strength to strength in the past few years. We are delighted to update Cambridge alumni with information on two flagship programmes:

The Cambridge General Management Programme (GMP) is a highly-acclaimed two-week residential programme for those mid- to senior level professionals wanting to take advantage of a full immersion to the fundamentals of management. Covering a thorough introduction and grounding to the disciplines that an MBA would normally cover, the programme runs in November and June every year and is taught by our world-class faculty teachers here at Cambridge Judge Business.

The Cambridge Advanced Leadership Programme (ALP) is our new flagship three-week residential Leadership Programme for experienced leaders at CEO/CFO and Managing Director level. This programme will run in November 2010 and then the following June 2011.  The ALP is an opportunity for executives to take stock and to assess themselves, away from the daily demands of senior management.  The ALP will bring together a select group of international senior executives and managing directors who will spend three weeks in Cambridge, based at Downing College, discussing and debating leadership challenges with leading faculty from across the University of Cambridge, all acknowledged experts in their fields.  Uniquely placed to take a multidisciplinary approach to the complex issues of leadership and the global environment in which organisations operate, this Cambridge programme will stretch participants’ thinking and equip them to address the challenges that face them.

Alumni of the University of Cambridge will receive a 10% discount on the fees of either of these programmes.

Take advantage of this offer and opportunity to refresh your skills and develop your leadership agenda whils becoming reacquainted with the unique and inspiring learning environment of Cambridge

For further information and to discuss which programme would fit best with your experience and requirements, please contact:
Cathy Butler, Director of Corporate Relations, Cambridge Executive Education
