Terence Tsai, Associate Professor of Strategy and International Business, CEIBS

“The Cambridge module is an excellent complement to our EMBA curriculum, offering in-depth, practical tools in innovation and entrepreneurship from a fresh and different perspective. It emphasises real-world application over theory—something business leaders value. The program is exceptionally well-designed and managed, with impressive attention to detail and responsiveness throughout.”.

Why collaborate with IfM Engage?

The IfM is uniquely positioned to provide this offer through the combination of our teaching expertise along with our unique portfolio of interdisciplinary research across the fields of technology, management and policy, with a focus on technology-intensive and manufacturing-based industry.

Whether you want to enable your students to dig deeper into specific topics, or develop a broader perspective on a theme such as technology and innovation management or digital transformation in manufacturing industry, we can design a module to suit your needs.

Much of the IfM’s research is focused on solving real industry problems and creating value. This has enabled us to develop a range of practical approaches and tools that, if included in a module design, are particularly attractive to part-time master’s students who can apply them in their work.

Benefits of partnering with us include:

High calibre teaching
The IfM brings together top academics and world-leading research in technology, innovation, and manufacturing strategy. Your students will learn directly from Cambridge faculty and experts with a longstanding track record of industry impact.

Practical value – research-based, industry-ready
The IfM’s research is industry-driven — developed to solve real-world challenges. That means your students won’t just learn theories, they’ll gain practical tools and frameworks they can immediately apply in professional settings, especially attractive to part-time and executive Master’s cohorts.

Flexibility and customisation – built around your curriculum
From a series of one-day deep dives to multi-session modules, we tailor every aspect to your programme’s needs. Whether you want to broaden your students’ horizons in digital transformation, ecosystem strategy, or technology innovation management, we’ll co-create a module that seamlessly fits into your curriculum.

Keep up with leading institutions
Join a growing number of forward-thinking universities across Europe and beyond who are already partnering with Cambridge to raise the bar in postgraduate education. This is an exclusive offer, available only to select institutional partners.

EXPLORE OUR EXPERT-LED TOPICS

Please note that we can support module assignments and assessments, but we cannot offer University of Cambridge credits for your module. We can however provide Certificates of Attendance and a Digital Badge.

Master’s modules on a theme

If a broader themed module would be more appropriate for you, enabling a wider range of topics and speakers, then an example would be an EMBA elective module we developed for the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), focused on ‘Making Innovation Happen’.

In this module we:

present a holistic view of technology and innovation management;

learn and practice proven tools and approaches that support organisations in technology and innovation management;

explore the Cambridge Innovation Ecosystem to appreciate the key components to making innovation happen in the Cambridge/UK context, to create new value for society.

AN INSPIRING PLACE TO LEARN

Students will be treated to an immersive and interactive Cambridge learning experience, including:

Opportunities to experience the unique place and history of the University of Cambridge.
This could include social experiences such as punting, dinners at prestigious colleges, or walking tours of our historic University.
