Explore
emerging markets
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.

A global
perspective
As business becomes increasingly international in
scope, the boundaries between markets are blurred
by technology, and our appetite to share ideas and
expertise grows. Reflecting and reinforcing this global
agenda, Cass is ideally placed to offer a truly
international experience.

Looking to
the future
In 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.
