The MRes in Management Studies is offered by Cambridge Judge Business School as a full-time period of study and research, during which students with experience at masters level or with substantial research-relevant work experience will receive training in research methods and the foundations of their chosen discipline. The goal of the MRes programme is to lay the foundations that will enable students to contribute to the academic debate in their discipline through publications in leading journals, which they will develop during their PhD. The research training consists of a series of six coursework modules and a dissertation. Modules will be drawn from a list of research modules offered by Cambridge Judge Business School or other University departments. The portfolio of modules will be tailored to the student's needs, taking account of their research interest and prior training. The dissertation complements the research coursework with practical research training, overseen by a faculty supervisor. Informal opportunities to develop research skills also exist through mentoring by more advanced research students and members of staff. Students are integrated into the research culture of their subject group and will attend the group's regular research seminars. By the end of the programme, students will have: Gained in-depth knowledge of research methods used in management research; Developed strong awareness of the current academic debates in their chosen discipline, and in-depth knowledge of the underlying theories of management; Gained practical knowledge of management research through close supervision of their dissertation project; Developed strong methodological expertise across a spectrum of research methods and will have applied these methodologies as part of the dissertation research project; Developed a strong awareness of the imperative of social impact with management research, through a dissertation and Received training in transferable skills, e.g. communication skills, presentation skills, writing skills, research project management skills, literature review skills. In order to continue to the PhD, MRes students are required to achieve an average mark of 70% across both coursework and the dissertation AND 70% in the dissertation alone. Note that, as for all Cambridge PhDs, the first year of the PhD (the year after the MRes) is still probationary and students will be required to pass a first-year assessment.
