Cranfield University (reviews)

Module structure and cohort is excellent. The detailed break down of every subject with appropriate case studies and relevant examples make it more interesting. The teaching staff is great and very helpful.

Cranfield University, established in 1946 as the UK’s only exclusively postgraduate university, is producing global leaders in technology and management through its world-class expertise, large-scale facilities, and unrivalled industry partnerships.
Likes:
* Located in the heart of the Oxford-Cambridge Arc in the United Kingdom.
* Research facilities and industry collaborations.
* Excellent career services.
* World-Class Library.
* Good student-to-faculty ratio.
Dislikes:
* Because the campus is located in a village, you will miss some of the entertainment and conveniences of a city, but you will make wonderful friends on campus.
* It is not a Russell Group university, despite being a high-caliber institution.

The requirements are high, which makes learning interesting. My quality of research and teaching has really improved as a result of my being here. The reputation of the university enables me to hold my head up high in professional and academic circles.

I am doing a PhD in Cranfield University. The study environment is great with a lot of possibilities for experimental researches. My supervisors are very competent and well recognised internationally which is a sign of the quality of the research going on here.
However there is a lack of technician support in some areas that could be problematic if one is not fully autonomous, as well as a lack of money to renew some of the experimental and characterization devices when they are broken.
I like the fact that the surroundings are quiet and the proximity with London for weekend trips.
