Abel Ureta-Vidal commented: aChoosing the Cambridge MBA was an easy decision. Cambridge is home to the largest biocluster in Europe and I wanted to stay in touch with the field of biology I had been researching. And of course the University has an unrivalled reputation for excellence. The entrepreneurial environment of Cambridge enabled me to build confidence in my abilities as an entrepreneur. I learnt new business skills and the vital importance of networking and collaboration in the business world.a
