MSc Astronautics and Space Engineering - Batch of 2025
Offered by Cranfield University
4.6
A college filled with surprises.
Tips: I'm really happy with the support and help I've received from the faculty. There are lots of activities happening on campus, so make sure to take advantage of them. But before you come, make sure you're prepared for the weather conditions and potential cold wind by bringing all the necessary stationery and essential medications. Also, please bring at least 50 Pounds in cash to help you until you have set up your UK account.

Great university to study aviation and explore your potential.
Tips: The course is diverse with people from different countries. The course is well structured and the faculty are approachable and knowledgeable about the industry. All the assignments push you and make you learn about the industry and get you ready to land a full-time job in the industry. The group work gives you a chance to apply everything you learn. Scholarships are very limited for Indian students and therefore we have to pay the whole fee mostly. However, it is worth the investment. The academic experience along with the friends I have made along the way has immensely contributed to my personal growth and I look forward to becoming a part of the industry soon. In my opinion, Cranfield is one of the best places to do a course related to aviation. With its industrial connections and state-of-the-art facilities, you will surely get the best education across the globe. I am just happy that I chose to come to Cranfield instead of other choices. Make sure you make international friends, and also connect well with industrial experts you meet during the course as it will help you get a job. Be careful with your expenses and spend wisely as the UK can be a bit expensive. Be independent and ready to step out of your comfort zone. Be ready to travel by bus frequently as Cranfield is a bit away from the main city nearby and plan your shopping trips wisely to save time.
Likes (Student Life): The college is a very happening place with regular career fairs, events and course classes. All the classes are engaging and assignments are challenging. You get to be involved in a lot of group work throughout your course which helps you get international exposure. Also, Cranfield has the CSA where there are parties every Friday. Though it is small, it has a bar, lounge, a small restaurant and an arcade and billiards area inside. During stressful times, it's the place to let loose and have a good time with friends. Also, there are a lot of clubs like for example cricket and badminton clubs with a lot of Science clubs and ethnic clubs as well. On the whole, the campus is the best place to spend time and make good memories. However, Cranfield as a whole is a bit silent and isolated but with the right company, you can have a great educational and fun time.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time opportunities are available around the area in Cranfield, Cranfield Village and Milton Keynes. However, the chances of getting one are challenging and have to put in a lot of applications so it is good to take a part-time as soon as you come however, the technical courses are time-consuming and it's best to focus on the course. It would take extreme time management to shuffle between both and it might be stressful. Most part times pay the national wages.

Advanced Mechanical Engineering PGCert - Batch of 2024
Offered by Cranfield University
2.9
Academically oriented, multi-cultural and research focused university.
Tips: The transition is not that difficult. This is a multi-cultural community. The scholarships are a bit of a tough ask and the prospective students should search for options other than university to secure a scholarship. Overall, the university is good.
Likes (Public transportation): The buses and cab service is good. The campus is located in between Bedford, the old city and Milton Keynes, a new and hustling city centre connected by buses that usually ply hourly via the campus bus stop. In addition, the national coachway is just a few kilometres away from where the buses depart for every major city and airport in UK.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The immigration rules are getting tougher and the companies seem to be hesitant to offer sponsorship. Moreover, there seems to be a sort of saturation in the market. There are career fairs organised by the careers team and also frequent Webinars with industry people, though it is not a straightforward hiring process. It is just an interaction with the people from the industry.

Future Food Sustainability MSc - Batch of 2023
Offered by Cranfield University
3.9
It was wonderful, enriching experience at Cranfield.
Tips: Cultural shift was calling professors by their names without any prefix or suffix. I received a bursary along with my offer letter. I got around 3500 GBP as a bursary. I am very satisfied with my course and I would strongly recommend the course and the university. Anyone passionate about food, agriculture or sustainability can take this course.
Likes (Indian Food): On campus there are places to eat offering multi cuisine (6-7gbp).
A lot of takeaway options are available and delivery which are on the pricier side. There are takeaway vans inside campus offering decent and affordable food. There is a local market in the city centre where all types of food at very minimal prices are available. Mostly I used to cook, occasionally eating out or taking delivery.
Dislikes (Internships): There is career centre which keeps updating about jobs and opportunities available. They help in correcting and improving CV and resume, and preparing for interviews. There are internships relevant to my course. However, the schedule is so tight it's difficult to do an internship along with the course work and part time job.

Greatest experience of my life.
Tips: Students should know that the faculty is friendly and approachable, so feel free to reach out to them. There are a few clubs and activities held on campus, and I suggest joining one of the clubs. I am very satisfied with my university. I did receive a Bursary which wasn't very helpful, but did give me a confidence boost. It has been a great learning experience, and I will cherish every moment I spend here. I recommend that everyone experience the struggle for once.
