- I liked everything.
Dislikes
- Other than teaching method, especially how the syllabus is completed, may be most of the foreign university happens like this, people don't write on the board, everything is on ppt, and they fast forworded very fast, honestly speaking course content is not possible cover in the 1 year course structure.
Campus Life
- Lots of clubs were, for whatever reason, on the university website regarding this, which is true.
Accommodation
- Accommodation options were really good; I used to pay 600 pounds a month.

- Nothing much, as the landlord was transparent and supportive to all my requests

Likes
- The university is close to the village and the nearby cities are around 45 mins via public transport.
- This causes the part time opportunities a bit difficult.
Campus Life
- The university has lots of extracurricular activities, such as indoor/outdoor games, events, clubs, and parties every Friday evening. The whole vibe was quite amazing.
Accommodation
- I checked the nearby accommodations, which cost around £500. With current dates, the price may range between £600 and £700.
Dislikes
- Marking was quite strict and the teaching was not up to the point
Campus Life
- Yes, it is good for research and postgraduation but slightly of higher standards compared to Indian universities so it is very hard to clear the exams
Accommodation
- Around £700 -750 including all bills
Likes
- Industrial Collaboration for projects
- Good networking opportunities during projects, career fair
- Masters only University so like minded cohort from around the globe and a good environment to learn and grow
Dislikes
- Not anything in particular but some modules could be improved
Campus Life
- Lots of sports clubs (no swimming pool though), not many cultural clubs (check website)
- Good gym facilities
- Limited food options within campus, might have to rely on cooking or ordering from nearby city (if you’re rich)
- Good Library and access to a lot of literature and scientific journals
Accommodation
- Campus accommodation and also off-campus accommodation can be found on University portal. Once you get admission, they send you the details. Campus Accommodation would cost approximately 8400 GBP a year (depending on the accommodation you opt for). This would include a room with a bed table and a cupboard. They also provide cutlery. Some common-use equipment and spaces like the kitchen, ironing board, and sitting area. Toilets can be en-suite or common depending on the option you opt for. Off-campus accommodation is a bit cheaper. Weekly expenses would be roughly 50 GBP (if you cook) a week, which would include groceries and laundry. Will be much higher if you rely on ordered food.

Likes
- Huge campus, with plenty space to do nature walks, and sporting activities
- Brilliant course modules, including Big data and Analytics, which are not offered by other universities providing the same course
- Very resourceful careers team, who assist in securing job ready skills, through mocks, CV reviews, career sessions and career fairs
Dislikes
- Very far away from the city, Cranfield is a village which is isolating
- Access to just one convenience store, and 1 petrol pump.
- The bus facilities going into the city are poor and unreliable
Campus Life
- Just one in Cranfield. There are multiple different buildings within this township
- Library, Gym, Table Tennis, Football court, basketball court, swimming pool, prayer rooms, medical room,
- Cultural events: Diwali, Halloween, prom, back-to-school parties, literary fests, black history month, Christmas, and bank holiday parties. We have a cultural team that organises these events for students and faculty both
Accommodation
- Found my accommodation on the university website,
- Monthly rent was about £800 pounds; it was the costliest of the 4 options. It was without mess services.
- No challenges; it was super smooth.
- I think it’s best to choose on-campus accommodation, as it becomes easier to collaborate on group assignments. My accommodation was on campus so it was a 10 mins walk from my lecture rooms









Likes
- Course structure, perfect balance of theory and practical studies. 40% taught modules and rest 60% group and individual projects, blending in both theory and practical work into one course.
- Taught module evaluation based on mini-projects and presentations rather than exams, thus putting the learnings into practical use cases.
- Thesis project was 5 months long and very well structured, allowing people to develop their research, practical and time management skills.
Dislikes
- Quicker and easier communication could be established between students and faculties.
- Due to tight schedule of the course, student's individual ideas and projects sometimes do not get the attention and exposure they need.
Campus Life
- It is one campus, located in Cranfield Village and attached to the Cranfield private airport. There are multiple sports facilities, including an indoor sports hall, multiple outdoor fields and a futsal court. There are many clubs like Photography, Walking, and Green Team, along with sports teams like Football and Cricket and even Basketball. The teams participate in cross-University events, etc.
Accommodation
- Accommodation was provided by the University themselves, it can be accessed through their website. The facilities included an en-suite room and a common kitchen along with personal cupboards in the kitchen; the cost per month was 217 pounds.
- There were no challenges, as the University authorities handled the accommodations. I recommend it because, although a bit expensive, it is a very easy and hassle-free experience. It is present on Campus.
Likes
- I like how extensive the courses were, I believe Cranfield provides the most modules in comparison with other universities and is ranked really well in the UK.
Dislikes
- Not a lot of diversity, I didn’t expect there to be 80% Indians.
Campus Life
Not the best, as I mentioned it’s a more academically driven school so there are not many social activities but it’s fairly decent. There’s a sports hall with a gym and other sports such as jijutsu, badminton, basketball and many more. There’s just one campus but it’s huge. There’s CSA the student association which handles clubs as well as social events. There are more house parties than campus parties. The library is huge and amazing, there are private rooms as well to have meetings in.
Accommodation
I chose the shared housing and had to pay 540 inc bills for a big room. We were 5 girls living in a 5-room house with 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a common room and a backyard. This was on campus.
Likes
- I chose this University as I wanted the Thermal Power course which aligns to my area of interest in aviation engines.
- I like the teaching research facilities and the placement opportunities with the industry. The location of the university is also in a calm place and it has a university airport for research purposes.
Dislikes
- The one aspect which can be improved is the high fees for the courses as it won't be affordable for everyone. Otherwise everything is good in Cranfield
Campus Life
Campus Life is very great with great amenities like football ground and indoor courts. And also has a very big library for 24/7.
Accommodation
There in campus accommodation. My accommodation costs 800 GBP per month.
