Information for Japanese students wishing to study a postgraduate programme at Cranfield University.

Cranfield University has a vibrant international community and is historically a popular destination for students from Japan.

As an exclusively postgraduate university with a student to staff ratio - 7:1 that is one of the best for any university in the UK and the world, Cranfield represents a unique offering for Japanese students thinking of studying in the UK. Japanese students at Cranfield benefit from excellent teaching delivered by our world-renowned academics, state-of-the art facilities and real-life industry projects with leading global organisations. 

Cranfield provides a professional working environment but students also enjoy campus live and get involved in a wide variety of activities run by Cranfield Student Association.

Most courses at Cranfield University require a UK lower second-class (2:2) undergraduate degree with honours as a minimum. Some courses may require an UK upper second-class (2:1) undergraduate degree with honours (or equivalent international qualification). Applicants should check entry requirements on individual course pages.

Find information about equivalent qualifications in your country on our International entry requirements page.

Country visits

We’d love to connect in your country. We attend education exhibitions, university fairs, visit universities and talk to prospective students and their families.

Keep an eye on our events calendar to find out when we will next be visiting.

If you are already studying in the UK, our Open Days provide the ideal opportunity to visit the campus and meet staff and students.
