University of Cranfield thread

Competitive to get into? For an engineering course I think its quite competitive (as there is apparently a demand for gas turbine engineers) but not right at the top. I think a lot depends on whether you're UK/EU/International, and what your previous qualifications are.

When you say it depends on whether you're UK/EU/International, what exactly do you mean? I mean are there different criteria for all?

hi I applied for Msc in astronautics and space engineering two weeks ago. so far they have asked for a reference and now a copy of my transcripts and im just waiting on a decision, does anyone know roughly i will have to wait for a decision? getting very nervous here

Hi guys,

I have just been offered a place on the Aerospace propulsion course. I applied for the march 2014 intake but for some reason on the offer letter it says that I have been offered a place for the march 2015 intake. I really don't want to wait for 1 and half years. I have sent them an email about this so hopefully they will change it to march 2014.

Hi everyone!

Why Cranfield is not listed in the Uni League Tables? http://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings

Probably because it offers postgraduate programmes only (the course statistics used in domestic league tables are taken from undergraduate courses).

Thank you for the answer, River! I think you are right :-)

Is there a list only with postgraduate programmes university? Would be interest to have a look on it :-)

There are international rankings which do have of a research/postgrad focus. Some of these have included Cranfield in certain years. For example, the ARWU (Academic Ranking of World Universities) placed Cranfield 402 - 503 in the world in 2008. In 2007 it was ranked 158 in the QS rankings.

There may be programme specific tables. For example, the Financial Times have a league table for business schools and MBAs. In the most recent one Cranfield's MBA programme is ranked 38th in the world

Hi everyone,

I have been accepted to study at Cranfield University for Msc Logistics and Supply Chain Management and will start on September 2013.

I planned to live outside campus accomodation, because I will bring my wife and she is pregnant. Which area is better between Milton Keynes and Bedford? I am considering about rent price, hospital and public transportation.

Thank you for your advice and reccomendations.

I am starting Thermal Power in March 2014. Does anyone know the term dates, or if they send me out some sort of information pack?

Hi everyone,

Is there anybody from Thermal Power - Gas turbine Msc. here? I'm starting in October, I would like to have an advise about how difficult are examinations? or test? are they similar as a undergraduate typical thermodynamic problem? I checked that Programmables calculators are not allowed.

Any general advise about the program? something that everyone should review before start?

Thanks in advanced to all,

Virgilio
