6 Cass MBA Inspiring stories

It was fascinating to examine the regulation and taxation issues faced by a large, successful family company as it looks to the future.

Rachel Bulford Full-Time MBA Alumni 201011

The Cass MBA is a 12-month journey that begins in the classroom with training and induction, including team building, networking and several pre-MBA workshops to get you up to speed.

The first two terms are then divided into four integrated learning blocks covering the essential topics of modern management. Each block consists of three core modules and ends with an integration week. This combines group work, case study analysis, presentations and simulation exercises to consolidate your learning and test your ability to resolve business challenges under pressure.

As you progress through the MBA, you will quickly develop agility and stamina as you work through a series of intense business challenges. One week youll be working with a large corporate such as KPMG on their future vision, the next developing insights with fast growing UK companies during the Strategy Project, or shifting a gear and working with SMEs in international emerging markets.

The Strategy Project provides a rigorous but highly rewarding test of your strategic audit and analysis capabilities. Working as a team of consultants, you will undertake a live commercial project for a UK business client. This culminates with a group presentation to a panel of experts drawn from industry and the Cass alumni network.

Grow with the Cass MBA

The Strategy Project is demanding, it is designed to stretch you intellectually and increase your skills to pitch for business and work in teams. It is your opportunity to prove your understanding of key concepts learnt on the MBA.

Professor Charles Baden-Fuller Faculty of Management

This broadening of perspective continues into the third term, when you will work on your elective modules, following the specialist or generalist pathways you choose to reflect your personal interests.

The final phase of the MBA is devoted to your specialist Business Mastery Project an opportunity to develop further and integrate key skills and areas of interest in line with your future career goals. By the time you graduate, your journey from the classroom to the heart of business will have equipped you with the intellectual resources and practical skills to embark on the next stage of your career.

From Saturdays leadership challenges to Sundays fire-fighting day, the leadership weekend was intense, inspiring, challenging and fun.

Simon Feeney Full-Time MBA Alumni 201112

The Cass MBA is an invaluable opportunity to hone personal and professional attributes that are crucial for effective management in the modern world.

Leadership is more important than ever in todays rapidly changing and aggressively competitive marketplace. To consistently deliver outstanding results, turn a business around, or take it in a new direction, you will need the interpersonal skills to take the best people with you on your journey.

The value of developing solid leadership and teamworking abilities will become exhilaratingly clear during your orientation week. We will take you away for an action-packed weekend that sets the context for future group work and is an excellent way to develop strong relationships with your fellow students.

Collaborative working and effective team building are essential parts of the MBA, and you will be assessed on the basis of individual work, exams and group assignments. You will work in teams throughout the course, supported by mentors who are recent MBA graduates. These teams will be multidisciplinary and multicultural, reflecting the breadth of our intake.

As you expand your personal network to include other Cass MBA intakes, alumni, faculty, visiting consultants and the people you will meet in the course of your practical assignments, a deeper understanding of the competitive benefits of collaboration will inform and enrich your professional progress.

In the Mergers and Acquisitions class, students are grouped into companies all challenging each other. They learn to form views through critical analysis in front of very sharp peers with contrary views.

Scott Moeller Professor in the Practice of Finance; Director, M&A Research Centre

Lifelong team building skills


Business issues do not come neatly labelled as marketing, strategy or finance, and a crucial facet of the MBA experience is understanding how these fundamental disciplines relate to each other. So, at the end of each of the four core learning blocks, faculty members collaborate to design and deliver a week-long learning experience that demonstrates how key subjects come together in the resolution of real-world business challenges.

Taking place at Cass or on location with a partner company, these integration weeks can be simulations in which groups compete to deliver results against time or exercises in analysis, inviting you to form clear opinions and make confident recommendations. They will stretch you, testing your creativity and taking you outside your comfort zone. Many former students consider these projects among their most exhilarating experiences at Cass.

Recent examples of integration week activities include a marketing strategy simulation, a film-making challenge, a research exercise for KPMG, and a strategic and financial analysis of high street firms. Each of these tasks eases the transition from academic theory to practical application, teaching you how to apply key concepts and models in real-world conditions where time is precious, resources are limited and information is often imperfect.

I wanted to make sure that the business school I would join could provide me with an international platform of students and alumni from which I could continue experiencing different cultures. I believe that Cass is that school.

Mariaveronica Favoroso, Full-Time MBA Alumni 201112

Bringing it together

12 Cass MBA Inspiring stories www.cassmba.com 13

I really enjoyed the Integration Weeks, since they gave me the opportunity to think creatively and to use the knowledge I had recently gained. They also made some of the more complex concepts clearer by adding a practical dimension to my studies.

Oded Mizrachi Full-Time MBA Alumni 201112

An early highlight was the first Integration Week, which tested skills acquired during the strategy, organisational behaviour, and accounting and financial analysis modules. By combining the knowledge given to us by the course with the diverse range of skill sets in our team, we were able to dissect the complex issues facing our chosen company. We then suggested practical ways to overcome the issues that they face. The fact that we won the challenge was an added bonus!

Neil Clement Full-Time MBA Alumni 201112

In my experience, Cass people are highly focused, interested in world events, and keen to meet new people and expand their network. It makes for a great atmosphere.

As you progress through the MBA, you will have opportunities to test everything you have learnt in challenging conditions. In the Emerging Markets Consultancy Week, you will tackle business issues overseas with a company operating in one of Europes dynamic and pressurised emerging markets.

This project reflects the strong international element that runs through the Cass MBA, and is the perfect opportunity to road-test all the management and business tools you have so far acquired.

You will spend one week working closely with the company, collecting data and assessing information, understanding its unique cultural and business dynamics, and presenting your initial findings. Your team then has a further four weeks to provide a full set of recommendations to the company.

Exposing you to real problems in a dynamic market helps you to apply lessons from the MBA course. In return, local companies benefit from your flourishing expertise. Its a win-win situation for students and companies.

The trip offered a good balance between work and leisure time. We would gather after work and chat about the project over a beer and a pizza. It was one of the best memories from my Cass experience.

Explore emerging markets


The international electives are an excellent way to engage with modern business on a global scale.

Oded Mizrachi Full-Time MBA Alumni 201112

When you come to Cass, you will find yourself immersed in a vibrant, multicultural environment.

In your third term, you will select between six and ten elective modules from a wide range of topics, giving you the flexibility to tailor your MBA to your career objectives and areas of interest. Our international electives include the International Study Tour in China, Strategic Marketing in Action in Las Vegas and Business Strategies in India. This will take you to the heart of

Looking to the futureIn the later stages of the MBA, attention turns to planning ahead and building a platform for your future career. Using your professional goals and aspirations as the driving force behind your choice of electives and Business Mastery Project (BMP), you will lay down lasting foundations and begin to build networks that will prove decisive in the years ahead. For example, you might choose to develop a specialist path in areas relating to consultancy, entrepreneurship or marketing, or combine electives from these pathways. Izindi Visagie, an MBA graduate in 2011 talks about the choices she made:

As the MBA draws to a close, the Business Mastery Project brings everything you have learned together in a challenging, but very satisfying, way. With a professional background in law, I selected the topic Venture Capital Investment Criteria because the core modules and my choice of electives had opened my eyes to the possibility of a career in this field.

The desktop research I undertook for the BMP, and interviewing 16 venture capitalists to inform my assessment, further broadened my knowledge of the subject. This blend of deeper understanding and practical experience left me in no doubt that this was the area into which I wanted to move.

At around the time I started my research for the BMP, I was fortunate enough to be appointed as an intern at the Cass Entrepreneurship Fund, which forms part of the Peter Cullum Centre for Entrepreneurship at Cass. The experience proved invaluable.

It was great to see a venture capital fund in action, and to be part of a process that I believe is crucial to the future wellbeing of business in the UK and beyond. My day-to-day work supporting the Investment Director brought together everything I was taught on the MBA, on a technical and a practical level.

Not only did I gain crucial experience with a 10m venture capital fund that is responsible for helping Cass alumni to turn promising businesses into substantial commercial operations, I also became keenly aware of how the Centre for Entrepreneurship supports current and former students in their quest for success. Its a side of Cass that prospective students sometimes overlook, and yet the boost it gives to budding entrepreneurs can prove key to turning what they have learned into tangible achievements.

After graduating, I secured a position at a large venture capital firm where I have been able to successfully combine my legal acumen with the business skills acquired during my MBA studies. I am thoroughly enjoying working in the venture capital environment and I relish the opportunity to apply my knowledge as part of a global team. At the same time, the entrepreneurial spirit awakened during my time at Cass urges me to consider embarking on a venture of my own. Once my ideas have crystallised, my first port of call will be the Peter Cullum Centre for Entrepreneurship.

Im a firm believer in seizing the initiative and making things happen, and my Cass experience has taught me that, if youre confident, resourceful and creative, there are opportunities and support out there if you look for them.

You will start with an orientation week, which includes the leadership and team building weekend workshop, introducing some basic concepts and techniques, as well as giving you a chance to get to know your tutors and fellow students.

The Core Business syllabus The first four terms are devoted to core modules covering hard technical knowledge in areas such as strategy, organisational behaviour, finance and quantitative methods.

We teach the core modules as integrated learning blocks. This approach ensures

that connections between all the key disciplines are reinforced and practically applied. You will learn through a mix of expert tuition and hands-on exercises. Assessment is based on group project work and presentations, individual course work and integrated exams (core modules only). Throughout the course there will be opportunities to work on company and sector-specific assignments.
