The short and beautiful experience of my education at Cranfield University

Tips: Yes, the college is extremely diverse in nature, so you can experience all sorts of cultures that shapes your world. College is extremely liberal and also has support groups for LGBTQ+ community. I did avail a scholarship. I got it from the University, I had to apply it by sending a mail to the course director. The process involves a simple interview about your work experiences and how much do you know about the course and subjects you would be taking as part of the course. I'm quite satisfied with the course.

Likes (Value for money): The university ranks among the best across the world for Engineering and Management courses, and for £30,000 fees, I think it's worth it, especially when you compare the fees you might be paying in similar ranked universities in USA or Canada. Also, there are plenty of scholarships available for every course, so you could easily get a scholarship (ranging from £1000-£20000).

Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time employment opportunities are scarce for students because the campus of the university is located in a village. There are just two stores and one student pub/cafe, which offer part-time employment opportunities, but they are often taken up by PhD students. So, you have to look for part-time employment opportunities off campus in Bedford and Milton Keynes. Lots of part-time employment opportunities are available. In particular, lots of warehouse part-time employment opportunities are available. Minimum wages are available from most of the part-time jobs, but the warehouse jobs, being plenty in number, will give you some extra bucks. So, you will be able to earn about 1000 pounds per month. The courses offered in the university are difficult and require hard work. Hence, part-time jobs are not recommended, especially in the initial 5 months.

Transformative Experience at Cranfield

Tips: Quite a fantastic experience. It was a huge culture shift at first, but a good one. I received a bursary of about 2000 pounds, which I had to request from the admissions team by emailing them after I received my offer letter. I am very happy with Cranfield University and the UK. I have grown personally and professionally.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is accessible and approachable. The course and the modules are very heavily industry-focused, which is amazing. In my time, the faculty was a mix of British, Asian, and European, and they also had visiting faculty from different disciplines who gave guest lectures.

Dislikes (Value for money): It is a fantastic course, and the university is great. However, post-graduation support isn't the best. They do have a career team, but they aren't very helpful in preparing you to land a job. They will, however, help you curate your CV and prep for interviews and all that, but if you're new to the system, you have to figure out a lot on your own.

Fulfilling and memorable experience at Cranfield University

Tips: Absolutely wonderful and memorable time getting to sit and learn and study in the Libraries with mates. Traveling to nearby towns and cities to shop and have a lot of fun. I was not able to avail myself of scholarships, however, they were available. I am relatively satisfied with my course, and I do miss staying in the UK.

Likes (Indian Food): Lots of Indian food available in and around Cranfield. Going north to Bedford, there are many authentic Indian restaurants that have really great food for good value for money. And down in Milton Keynes, there are markets filled with Indian groceries that will cater to Indian students very well.

Dislikes (Value for money): Coming from India, we expect the same type of teaching that happens. However, it is nowhere near the same level. We often overestimate the type of teaching that happens. It's mostly self-taught, but the approachability of professors makes it easier. We learn a lot, however, as the courses enable us to practically use our knowledge. Since we are international students, the feels is very high and doesn't justify the difference.

MBA - Full Time - Batch of 2028

Only masters university in the UK

Tips: The course is really hectic and has a heavy curriculum to cover. Specialized University of Engineering and Technology. All the courses at cranfield has unique structure that not only focuses on theory but also provides practical exposure, such as projects, research, and internships.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Because faculty focus more on research and practical work, they help in connecting with the right employers. The student-to-faculty ratio is relatively lower than at other universities, so students get maximum personal attention. Faculty also help students with their dissertation

Dislikes (Part time work): Because of Cranfield's location part time jibs are not available anywhere close to the university. The course is also designed in a way that it's very hectic for the students, especially for science and technology that they don't have time to do part-time jobs.

MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2022

3.1

Academic centric Focussed on its reputation and network of industries.

Tips: They must know that this college is in a suburban area. Though its QS ranking is very high, they will have limited options for a good-quality student life because the city is not Manchester or Liverpool. Though it has a small network of people, reaching out to them is easier compared to Russell Group universities. It has a good consortium with industries and companies, so getting to work with them would be possible with good recommendations.

Likes (Part time work): The availability of part-time jobs is high because of nearby accessible cities. Also, students can easily work, but remember it doesn't have to be a technical role. I would still suggest looking for Russell Group universities because of better technical role part time jobs.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): I believe the engagement with faculty could be better, especially for technical paper publications. I found that unless it's an industry-sponsored project, faculty would not go out of their comfort zone for students' development. Lab-based work by technical faculty is the most supportive.

Cranfield university: insights from an UK based student

Tips: As I am already based in the UK, I transitioned quite smoothly with regard to culture. I obtained a merit scholarship due to my high undergraduate grade, and that was a £2000 deduction from my overall course fees. Overall, very satisfied with the university and the course.

Likes (Student Life): Although the college is in a rural area, everything on campus feels relatively close together, so you will likely build familiarity with a lot of people, and that enhances your student life as you feel you are part of a tight knit community. There are student societies for different interests and cultures, e.g., Indian society, etc.

Dislikes (Part time work): There is not a huge array of shops on campus, so part-time work opportunities on campus are limited. Most part-time job opportunities are found in the neighbouring cities of Bedford and Milton Keynes, which are both a 10-15 minute drive away from the main campus.
