The end of the Michaelmas Term came quicker that I could imagined. How had we learned so much in so little time? As we all spent that last couple of weeks recalling WACC, Financial statements, r-squared and other terms, we made time to help each other. This type of collaboration is what truly […]

Tag: The Cambridge MBA
The beginning of a transformational experience.
Cambridge…a name associated with history, prestige and Nobel Prize winners. I was both excited and scared with the prospect of becoming a Cambridge student.
