Cranfield University

Wholly postgraduate, Cranfield University is positioned between traditional universities and business and industry and combines the academic rigour and long term perspective of a university with the commercial and business focus of industry.

Our name is synonymous with leading-edge research and teaching in the following areas and supported by world-class and industry-standard facilities and software:
* Aerospace
* Applied computing
* Automotive and Motorsport
* Defence
* Engineering
* Environment and water
* Health
* Management
* Manufacturing
* Safety, risk and reliability.

Our industrial research income, measured as a percentage of our turnover, puts us as one of the top five research intensive universities in the UK alongside Oxford, Cambridge, and London’s Imperial College and UCL.

This allows us to ensure that our taught programmes are informed by the research we carry out on behalf of our industrial clients and partners, preparing taught and research students for the next steps in their career. 95% of our graduates are in relevant employment six months after graduation and we graduate:
* 53% of all aerospace engineering UK postgraduates
* 26% of all agricultural and environment sciences graduates
* 10% of all engineering UK doctorial students.
