The Faculty Board reminds candidates and Tutors that requests for papers to be set on additional subjects should be sent to the Secretary of the Faculty Board, c/o the Undergraduate Office, Faculty of Mathematics, Wilberforce Road (email: faculty@maths.cam.ac.uk) not later than 9 November 2019.
The Faculty Board of Business and Management gives notice of a correction to the subjects for examination for the degree of Master of Business Administration published on 17 July 2019 (see Reporter, 6556, 2018–19, p. 822).
The examination for MBA10, Strategy, will now be wholly by examination of 1.5 hours plus 15 minutes’ reading time (100%); there will be no group assignment.
The Faculty is confident that no student’s preparation for the examination will be affected as a result of this change.
