Cambridge Judge Business School runs a one-year, cohort-based full-time MBA built around Cambridge's college system and strong entrepreneurship/technology ecosystem. GMAT is the more commonly submitted test, though GRE is accepted.
Judge MBA — GMAT Benchmarks
| Metric | Score |
|---|---|
| Median GMAT (overall class) | 693 |

| Competitive GMAT for Indian applicants | 710 – 750 |
GMAT vs. GRE at Judge
Judge accepts both, though GMAT remains more common among applicants. The college system means candidates are evaluated partly through the lens of their assigned Cambridge college as well as Judge's central admissions process — essays and interview performance carry substantial weight alongside the test score.
Cambridge's Entrepreneurship Ecosystem
Judge draws heavily on the "Cambridge Cluster" — one of Europe's densest concentrations of deep-tech and biotech startups — making it a strong choice for MBA candidates targeting entrepreneurship or venture-backed technology roles specifically.
GMAT Is Separate From English Proficiency
A GMAT score does not satisfy Cambridge's English language requirement. International applicants still need IELTS or TOEFL:
| Requirement | Cambridge Policy |
|---|---|
| GMAT | 693 median; 710–750 competitive for Indian applicants |
| IELTS | Required — see our Cambridge IELTS Requirements guide |
| TOEFL | Required — see our Cambridge TOEFL Requirements guide |
