Cranfield is unique – and everyone affiliated with the university knows it. In its earliest incarnation, Cranfield was known as the College of Aeronautics. In 1946, the college formed at Cranfield RAF station in Bedfordshire. With a commitment to applied research in the science and technology disciplines, the college soon developed into university, bringing in more schools and focusing on areas outside of STEM interests.
Though management has been taught since the 1950s, the School of Management officially formed in 1967. It was a natural step as there has always been a need for management of scientific and technology projects at every level of business and public work.
Today, Cranfield welcomes over 4000 students to its ranks annually and students have come from over 106 different countries to take advantage of opportunities that this university offers. Disciples naturally include aerospace and defense alongside management and manufacturing. Prodigy financing is available for students enrolled in the MBA programme as well as most STEM Masters courses.
