An excellent choice for industry-focused, global education.

Tips: As a postgraduate-only university, Cranfield offers a professional and focused environment. While there are events and festivals throughout the year, students can expect a quieter, self-contained campus life. I experienced a significant cultural shift, and the British emphasis on polite communication and queuing were noteworthy. Although I didn't receive a scholarship, Cranfield offers several to international students, and some Indian universities have partnerships that provide scholarships. I am very satisfied with the university, course, and country. The opportunity to travel in Europe is a great benefit. I appreciate the diverse, international community, which significantly enhanced my academic and social experience.

Likes (Part time work): International students can work up to 20 hours a week part-time while studying and full-time during holidays. On-campus opportunities, such as roles in university administration, are available but competitive; the university job portals and active participation in induction programs are the best places to find them. Off-campus opportunities can be found in nearby towns like Bedford and Milton Keynes and include retail, restaurants, and hospitality. Commuting is made easier by the Uno bus service.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): After studying at Cranfield University, students have good post-study work options through the Graduate route. While this allows for a few years of experience, transitioning to a Skilled Worker visa still requires securing a qualifying job with a licensed sponsor and meeting the salary threshold, which can be challenging. The process is clear, but success depends on the job market and individual circumstances. Personally, I would consider a permanent move only after gaining a few years of experience, primarily because the UK and EU are global aviation hubs.

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.

MSc Automotive Engineering - Batch of 2025

Offered by Cranfield University

t's a technical university that's located in a quiet, isolated place surrounded by nice people.

Tips: Sometimes it may be frustrating with the transportation, but usually it's not an issue. People are mostly friendly and the place is nice and quiet considering it's in an isolated place. Milton Keynes is not far, so it's all good. Good, recommended for a technical university.

Likes (Safety): Cranfield University is a safe place because the university has an airport within its borders. Cars are not allowed to enter the university unless they go through the airport security checkpoint. Also, university housing is safe.

Dislikes (Public transportation): Transportation services at this university are not very good. There are no trains on campus; only buses and Uber are available. This can pose a problem when buses are cancelled or postponed. If we have something important to do, we often have to take an Uber.

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.

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.
