About Cranfield University
Cranfield University is a world-leading, postgraduate-only public research university located in Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire, England. Tracing its lineage back to 1946 when it was established as the College of Aeronautics on the former RAF Cranfield base, it received its Royal Charter in 1969 as the Cranfield Institute of Technology before adopting its current name in 1993. Cranfield holds a singular place in global higher education as the only university in Europe with its own operational commercial airport (EGTC) and research aircraft fleet (the National Flying Laboratory Centre). Internationally revered for aerospace and aviation engineering, automotive and motorsport systems (including Formula 1 aerodynamics and crash testing at the Cranfield Impact Centre), defence and security (partnered with the UK Defence Academy at Shrivenham), water and agrifood, and elite leadership education through the triple-accredited (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS) Cranfield School of Management, Cranfield generates industry-transforming breakthroughs in collaboration with Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Boeing, the UK Ministry of Defence, and Formula 1 teams.
