What is the kind of help provided by the schools career services office for final placements and internships (GCP)?
The Cambridge MBA includes various projects. There’s the venture project (CVP), global consulting project (GCP), which is not an internship but a group project, and then there’s the individual project which fundamentally is a thesis and *can*, but doesn’t have to, include an internship. The school will arrange for a list of CVP projects as well as GCP projects, i.e. you’ll get a list and pick projects from the list (more or less) so you don’t have to go and look for projects/companies yourself. However, for GCP you *may* look for your own project (with a group). So, if you have a particular company in mind you can try to arrange that for your team, but if you fail you can pick from the available list. For you individual project (IP) you need to pick your own thesis topic. Not everyone does an internship, probably around half the class does. This is totally up to you. By the time you do your IP you should already know where and what you want to do and you should have built your network
