Cranfield University

Positioned between traditional universities and business and industry, Cranfield combines the academic rigour and long term perspective of a university with the commercial and business focus of industry.

Cranfield operates in a global context. Our competitive advantage is based, primarily, upon three characteristics:

• our focus upon sectors, private, public and charitable, rather than traditional academic disciplines: hence all schools embrace staff from a wide range of academic disciplines
• our concern for and delight in the practical outcome of our work
• our willingness to address defence.
