A review for Cranfield

Applied for 2 Universities - Cranfield University and Swansea University. Both accepted my application, and I was shortlisted for both. Received admission from both universities but chose Cranfield for a vast number of reasons. No colleges that I applied to have sent me a rejection A lot could depend on the requirements of the university and of the student as well. Cranfield is a complete postgraduate university, meaning fresh minds every year and acceptance of new talent are regular. Apart from this, the university also offers a research facility and is located in a calm and green environment. The admission process: Application Confirmation of admission with Deposit (upon acceptance from university) Confirmation of CAS Letter IHS and Visa Application Uploading documents in the Shield portal (useful for submitting all docs, visa status and proof of funds) Arrival in the country Received by the university (transport provided upon request through portal) Intake applied for and factors influenced: September 2023; most particularly, my planning of the course and personal reasons influenced my decision The process took me about 6 months (from April to September).

I applied to the following universities: Warwick Business School - rejected. My grades did not make the cut, and my profile was not competitive enough Manchester University - accepted. Did not choose it due to basic curriculum and poor peer reviews Cranfield University - accepted. Chose it due to its unique curriculum Lancaster University - accepted. Did not choose due to its location. Very far from London. I chose Cranfield due to its unique curriculum and its proximity to London, where all the job opportunities are. Application form online, IELTS score (min 6.5), SOP, job references, and min 2:1 in your first degree (any degree is fine). And then you await your response. No need for GMAT/GRE. IELTS minimum is 6.5 Overall experience was very smooth. I got a response within 1 week of application. This university gets back with a decision much sooner than other universities. 2022. I applied a year later after Covid settled down. I applied in the September intake, as this course ends in the better season to get jobs. Admission process was only about 10-15 days, as Cranfield responds quickly. But preparing for documentation and SOPs took about 2 months. I started gathering all documents in October 2021 in the previous year and applied in January 2022 for the Sept 2022 intake...Read More

I applied to a total of 3 Universities, namely the University of Bath, the University of Leeds and Loughborough University. I had offer letters from all three Universities. During this process I had not received any rejections from any of my applications. I had applied for a master's in Automotive Engineering in all of the Colleges that I have mentioned previously. I chose them because I found their course structure to be more suited for my way of learning and they had better connections with Industry, and along with that, the modules they had were better suited for my personal development goals. The admission process involved the application itself followed by a technical interview, and the process was very smooth and handled well by the faculty. The exam needed was TOEFL/IELTS. I applied for the September intake, as that was the only one available for the course. The admission process took 3 months from date of application to the interview to the final offer letter arriving. The process is done very thoroughly and if the interview is very successful, they will give you positive feedback on the spot, but the final letter will arrive only once the entire process is done....Read More

Considering the success stories of several alumni including Neil Armstrong, it is an esteemed university from both the employers' and students' perspective....Read More

My experience at Cranfield University was wonderful. Initially, I was clueless about many opportunities in the management field due to my lack of work experience. However, by the end of the course, I had gained knowledge about all the major management concepts and areas. I also formed valuable connections in the specific area of my interest. Building friendships with people from different countries enriched my experience, and the time spent in Spain remains one of my best memories ever....Read More
