Employers – recruit our students

Person in the flow lab

As an employer, you’ll want to recruit the best individuals who can make a real difference to your organisation.

Cranfield graduates have that extra something. Thanks to the University’s significant interaction with commerce and industry, our students benefit from a focus on the practical application of their studies rather than pure theory. Coupled with the use of our industrial-scale facilities they come away with a ‘real-world’ mindset and skills that will truly benefit future employers.

There are a number of ways you can work with us to promote your business and recruit high quality Cranfield graduates. You can advertise a vacancy, make a presentation to our students, offer placements, become more involved in our courses or sponsor student research and benefit from the fresh thinking of our postgraduate students. Many employers attend our annual Careers Fair, which attracted over 1,000 students last year. Please contact us for more information on these opportunities.
