The Cass MBA Perspective: Women in business

While it’s true that challenges still exist for women in business, there have never been more opportunities for women to enjoy a successful career. Recognising this fact, Cass is celebrating International Women’s Day with a Women in Business seminar Journey to the Top on 8 March.

At the event, the next generation of talented and ambitious women will be encouraged to make use of the opportunities available to them, including the tried and tested route to business success – an MBA.  

In the recent 2012 Financial Times rankings, the Cass Full-time MBA programme was listed as having the highest percentage of woman on any full-time MBA in the world

and this is partly down to Cass’s ethos of collaboration rather than excessive competitiveness. Cass is a dynamic place to learn – you feel that as soon as you walk in. We attract ambitious and forward thinking women and our teaching is in tune with our position as the intellectual hub of the City – practical, current and industry leading.

In terms of female recruitment, Cass practices what it preaches with the Full-Time MBA Course Director (Sionade Robinson) and MBA Programme Director (Erica Hensens) in post, along with many other female academics and professional staff members like myself.

The Women in Business seminar, part of the ongoing Leadership series, will be held at Cass on 8 March. Join us for an inspiring evening to celebrate the success of today’s Business Leaders, and encourage the next generation of talented and ambitious women to make use of the opportunities available to them.
