Judge Business School – University of Cambridge

History

Cambridge University entered the business education world in 1954, as other departments began to introduce management teaching in their curricula. From that mid-century point onward, interest grew in expanding the business education curriculum, which eventually led to the founding of the Cambridge Institute of Management Studies in 1990. This first iteration included MBA and M.Phil. programs.

In 1991, the Monument Trust and British businessman Sir Paul Judge, who was on the board of Barclays and the Director General of the Conservative Party in the U.K., funded the construction of the first building dedicated to the Institute of Management Studies, which opened in 1996, thus renaming the school as the Judge Institute of Management Studies.

Since the nineties, the Judge student body has grown considerably, which in turn required the addition of more space for the Institute. In 2005, the administration once again changed the name, this time opting for the current name, Cambridge Judge Business School.

It is an area rich in history, as the University of Cambridge has beginnings in the early thirteenth century, and also situated in the center of “Silicon Fen,” the English analog to California’s “Silicon Valley.”

Through London’s extensive public transportation systems, it is possible to reach the University of Cambridge from London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Luton, and London Stansted airports within relative ease.

Facilities

The main Cambridge Judge Business School building, designed by renowned architect John Outram and erected in 1991, is located on the site of an 18th century hospital. Inside, it is comprised of several lecture theaters, a library that is called the Judge Business School Information Centre, as well as many conventional meeting rooms.

The Monument Trust has donated a significant amount of funds to the continued expansion of the school, which is scheduled to be completed before the end of 2017.
