Msc in Avionics Cranfield or Sheffield?

Hi guys,

I wwant to do my postgrad for avionics system and i found that there are 2 university that offer avionic courses which are

Cranfield University : Avionic Systems Design (Option of Aerospace Vehicle Design MSc)

University of Sheffield : MSc. in Avionic Systems

Can anyone advice me which uni is better in terms of reputation, teaching quality and recognition from industry in this particular field?

I don't know about avionics but I heard that Sheffield being a good university but in other hand I have not really heard of Cranfield.

Within the industry, Cranfield has an excellent reputation. Outside the industry it isn't so well known, but presumably you won't be relying on an MSc in Avionics outside the industry.

So you mean that Cranfield would be a better choice over Sheffield?
No-one else but you can decide what the better choice might be. You need to consider accommodation, costs, lifestyle, access on the domestic side and the content of the course, ability to specialise, quality of teaching staff, method of teaching, research support etc.

All I'm saying is that Cranfield has a very strong reputation of all things aviation. I presume you haven't been involved in aviation in the UK before if you haven't heard of Cranfield.

yea...I am an international student and that is why i have not heard of Cranfield. I am looking for a uni that will really benefit me after my graduation in terms of career prospect.

As far as what I see in TSR is that Cranfield will not disappoint me I guess.
